Please add multiple monitor support to provide for different views on each monitor.

It already can. What kind of views are you looking for? Right now you can have 3 monitors and if you set your view to the max (152 degrees) you can have left front, front, and right front all at the same time, coming close to seeing left and right as well in the same view.

You can have three monitors but only when setup through video driver to be one. It is very wide but still one monitor as far as AH is concerned. What I am looking for is the ability to put say the side view on a monitor mounted to the side and the ability to put clipboard, message window and other items on a separate monitor. You can do a wide fov but it is very unrealistic. I am interested in building a cockpit that simulates the real flying experience closer than we can today.

so how many monitors are you planning to have?  you want front view, 2 side views, assuming rear view also.  that's 4 monitors right there.  and another monitor for the clipboard, message window, where exactly you gonna put this one?what about top and the view gap between the side and front or rear monitors?

why not just have 3 monitors plus trakir.  why not just do a drawing of what you want to make it easier to understand.

i understand what he's wanting Semp...it's not that complicated. he wants the same type of 3 monitor support found in iracing, and he wants to be able to use a 4th monitor (like a small usb monitor) for extraneous crap, like the clipboard, text and radio.

it would be cool to have a rear view monitor behind you so you could actually check six. Neck would break I'm sure
