Title: Multi-Monitors
Post by: 1776 on January 27, 2002, 02:16:55 PM

In order to improve the visual image we need to be able to move the readio buffer and clipboard to a second monitor. It is so nice to be able to see who is on AH voice by just glancing over to the other monitor:)  

I hate it that we have to alt-tab to get the mouse pointer to the second monitor.

Is this request too hard to get done?  Is this "blue sky" stuff?

I've been thinking about a second monitor too. What I'd like to have is the clipboard and chat bar on the other monitor. The secondary display would be 2D only, so you could have other things visible, like PingPlotter.

With nvidias new beta drivers 27.10/27.20 you can make hotkeys to swithc between monitors easily. Im using it right now and its working fine. The driver is only released for winxp/2000 systems for the moment.

I dont believe you can have 2 monitors work with ah. Well, it'll work but you will only get AH on one monitor.

Programs have to run windowed to be able to effectively use mulitmonitors. Or some such. I never tried AH with 2 monitors. MS flight sim works great tho.


I also would like to see AH support 16:9 resolutions. :)
