Well, plugging in multiple monitors and having extended desktop is easy and thats not the problem. I cant seem to figure out how to seperate the controls on IL-2 so i can move them around into seperate screens. Right now i have the screens vertical, so if i could put the dash on the lower screen, and the windsheild on the top widescreen then i would be all set. I know on my old microsoft simulator i can simply click on a box on the dash(aka the altimeter) and drag it around as its own game window, placing it on either screen i choose, but the mouse in IL-2 simply just moves the head around in the cockpit, and i cant click or drag or select anything. HELP!!

il2-1946 or BoP ? (this is the il2-1946 forum)
the only people i know using 3 monitors in il2-1946 use the matrox unit to split the video over multiple screens, i dont think you can effectively run it with a software prog like ultramon to split your game screen
i am 99% sure you cant drag any of the il2-1946 sub menu's or controls of screen either, it has to stay on the game video screen (maps, controls etc)

it is 'sort of' possible, if you fly offline, using devicelink

it works on a separate computer/screen best but is possible to use 1 comp/2 screens (usually causes fps loss tho)
might not be perfect but it's free:)
