I'm working with George to setup a GA Sim using P3d with three HD monitors in Surround mode to be used for teh main outside display, plus an accessory monitor to display the Instrument Panel.
Does anyone have a similar display setup and working with P3d, and how did you get the Accessory Monitor interfaced? Feedback appreciated.

Hi Mike,
As far as I know, the only way to have additional monitor screen visible while you have full-screen FSX is to use so-called pseudo-fullscreen approach.
Essentially what you see with this approach is FSX (P3D) occupying all 3 main screens but it reality those screens are not in Full Screen mode ( Alt+Enter) but in windowed mode without title bars.

I did not try it yet by myself, but it's on my To-Do-List. ;)
