Monitor spanning in FS2004 & also FSX not working for me

[Rick Piper]

Hi Guys

Sorry for the stupid question but i'm stuck.

I can drag undocked windows anywhere

But i want a single spanned image like i see loads of others have working.

Left monitor Right Monitor
1680 x 1050 1280 x 1024

I cannot get the wide option in the FS display properties to show up

Have tried with left monitor set to 1280 x 1024 but still nada.

I know it can be done and i have seen 3 working when the centre was 1600 x 1200 & each side was 1280 x 1024 so i know it works.
(was not Matrox Parhalia) had 2 vid cards.
one for centre one for sides x 2

Regards
Rick

Hi Rick,

Have you tried setting your desktop as a horizontal span through the desktop display properties? I know when I do this with my Nvidia it then lets me select the wide views in FS, but I think you run an ATI?

For what it's worth, I have the same monitor setup as you, and I find that I can never get the eye view point to look right when I do this - I think it's something to do with the two different display ratios on the monitors.

HTH,

Best rgds,
