Re: [Flightgear-devel] Secondary display - game mode
I'm not sure what SDL means, but it will run on the primary display without the secondary one going black, so I don't think what you said is true...at least in my case. I'm using the latest stable version of flightgear, which I compiled myself from the source using VisualC++. So I can make changes to the code if necessary.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Secondary display - game mode
Well, FYI, it can be done with Windoes. The difference is I want the instructor station on the PRIMARY display, but right now I get the unsightly window border on the secondary display.

Does Windows allow you to switch the 'border' attribute on a window? I use this on Linux to switch FlightGear from Windowed to fullscreen without needing any 'locking' control over the WM. If you can do that on Windows, just start FG with the correct geometry and then set the window as 'borderless' or something along those lines.

[Flightgear-devel] Secondary display - game mode
Does anyone know the easiest way to run flight gear in game mode on a secondary display. It runs just fine if I drag the window over and maximize it on the secondary display, but I can't figure out how to make it work in game mode.

I appreciate that, and if I were using Linux, I'd have already known exactly what to do. :) I should have been more clear...unfortunatly, for this particular application I need to use Windows XP Pro, and I currently have an ATA Mobility Radeon 9000 in the laptop I'm using.
