Help please! Multi screen issue

[J G 927]

I run 5 screen in my FSX set up. They consist of 3 screens run from a display port through a triple head and 2 screens run from a DVI port through a dual head.

 

My main display is the tripple head setup and I use the dual head to feed 2 screens below side by side for instruments etc.

 

My problem is that with some models when I open up a window (Say the GPS) and drag it to the 2 screen display all is fine.  However, with some models, the GPS will display in a window just fine on the triple screen, but when I drag it to the double screen I end up with a windowed black box.  The instrument (it doesn't matter which one from the Instrument menu I choose) just wont display on the dual head.

 

As I said, it is not the same for all models.

 

Has any one any idea why this should be and what I could do to rectify it?

 

Happy to provide further details of my setup if it helps solve the question, 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

J.

Hi John,

Are you actually undocking the GPS window before dragging?

Just a thought.

John,

 

The answer hopefully lies in one of the aircraft, display or panel config files.

 

Do you have an example of a couple of aircraft that work and a couple that don't?

 

Cheers,

Joe

@needles....yes they are dragged out after undocking.

@Mutley...... I will have a look and post here, but off the top of my head just flights EE Lightning works just fine and the wilco Harrier doesnt.
