Can you upgrade to detonator (the drivers) 61.44? At least that version should have it. Not sure about previous really early versions.

I map a button on my stick so it moves my view right back in the cockpit. I can see all the instruments in most planes this way. For the rest I set the head position down a little until I can. It works for me :aok

2 things, you need to make sure both monitor properties in windows and in your nvidea software both are at the same resolution. also check your
refresh rate is the same with both. I run CCC from ati catalist control center

drdeathx, yes they both are the same.

Krusty, I'll try downloading those now.

EDIT: Just spent about half an hour looking for them on the NVIDIA website, and no luck.  It did say there was a different type of driver (NVIDIA GeForce Release 175 - version 175.19) which was available, and that I have version 169.21.  I also found something called 'NVIDIA System Tools with ESA Support'.  Should I download these?

If you've already got version 160+ you should have this option. I don't know why it doesn't show up.

In that case disregard my comment about downloading drivers -- yours are recent enough.

Hrm.. I don't know why it's not there. Can't really do it without this option. I've only seen a similar problem on several of my sisters' laptops because of the limited driver options on their limited video cards.

Ok, well I'll keep fiddling around with it and see if I get anywhere.  Thanks for all your help Krusty <S>.

drdeathx, the reason my screenshot looks so retarded is largely because I was trying to downsize an almost 5 MB image into something that would fit onto imageshack, but hit some wrong setting along the way.  There should have been a B-25H in it, but it was the first screenshot I'd taken in that AH 'session', and there was some 'lag' between hitting the screenshot button and the computer responding again.

I've thought about it...but it seems to me like that would almost be too much immersion...
