Hello
I have somequestions regarding the use of FSX in full screen mode with a Matrox TH card and two other monitors. (See photo 1)

good!), next COMPAQ laptop (PC2) and the extreme right an assembled
PC (PC3): see below configuration)
I am currently in windowed mode, but I'm a little disappointed by the performance of FSX (in terms of FPS: average 20, 18.5 if I give up SLI) due to the
machine that I put behind .... but I read that the full screen mode is less demanding
Switching to windowed mode make unusable screens 2 and 3 of the Matrox (see photo 2). In addition, the new display views remains confined to my main display (ASUS screen ... see description below).

In addition I will soon bring in the VRInsight CDU II which will also propably cause problem of full screen (I just return the CDU OpenCockpits is falsely sold as compatible with FSX PMDG 747 ...)
What is the procedure/tricks/cfg edition knowing that the expected output is as follows:

Main Display:
Monitor 1 (display 2): ASUS VW1925+ (1680x1050) on DVI / VGA
connector - INSTRUMENTS (and future CDU II)
Matrox MTH2Go: Monitors
2 (display 1): 3x PHILIPS Brillance231B 24 inches (but limited to
1680x1050x3) control bezel works well, brings all 3 22 inches, not
annoying) on DVI TO VIEW OUTSIDE COCKPIT
Monitor 3 (display3)
ViewSonic VA2216w (1680x1050) on USB-DVI-VGA converter - FOR
OVERHEAD PANEL
Both cards are NVIDIA SLI (only connectors on the map above are functional, hence the use of
USB adapter) - Driver Updated
Thank you for your advice
