We can define arbitrary areas of the screen and draw any view perspective into them. However, I think all the views need to be from the same eye point. (i.e. you can't have a cockpit view in one window and a chase view in another?) However, the capability we do have is very nice for supporting devices like the Matrox Triple Head 2 Go box, or Twin View, or any "spanning" desktop system. And we have the ability to extend this to multiple displays. There is an AMD/ATI demo movie floating around on youtube that shows FlightGear running on 8 monitors using 4 dual-headed video cards.
I don't know how far you could stretch this capability? If you could configure a dynamic view offset and view heading for one particular display, you might be able to fake a lot of this. Curt.
