I have the engine stack panel integrated into the aircraft panel folder and it just needs some minor size adjustments. It looks good though after adjusting it on the screen.
When undocking the window and moving it to the smaller display monitor I'll be using behind the instrument panel and returning FS to full-screen mode, the panel disappears.
I checked hardware settings in FS in the options menu and the 800x600 resolution is gone for this monitor. Most of the resolution settings are for wide-screen such as 900x1400 and up. There is also 1280x1024 and up for normal aspect monitors. The lowest resolution is what it's set at and is some funky resolution I've never seen before. I'm not on that system now so I can't say what it is. 833x1140 sounds familiar, though that might not be it.
The resolution is set correctly on the video card settings, 800x600, and the monitor works normally for anything else rotated 90° to portrait mode.
Why isn't 800x600 showing up as an option to set the monitor in FS?
Could it be because the monitor orientation has been changed to portrait mode?
Is it because the monitor has been cloned from the main desktop monitor?
Stretching the main monitor to the smaller display had no effect.
Should I try reversing the video outputs for each monitor on the card?
After returning to full-screen mode, as I said the smaller monitor is black, and the main monitor displays FS but the mouse cursor flashes, rapidly changing between the pointer and the hourglass and never stops.
This is not on the FS computer, this is on my third computer in the shop and is the weakest one of the three. The video card is the ATI 9800Pro AGP.
I never had problems using a second monitor on this system when it was the FS computer, but now FS will not allow this resolution for some reason.
If anyone has a clue I'd sure be interested in hearing it.
