Running FM on multiple monitors

Hello,

I would like to run my laptop over two monitors. Does anyone know if it is possible to run FM full screen on my external monitor while having the laptop screen running windows as normal, so I can get away with appearing to work?

Yes you can. I use 2 monitors and use it all the time.

But you will still have to run it in windowed mode...then just maximise or stretch it to fit the full screen.

If you dont do it this way, as soon as you click your mouse on your second screen, it will minimise FM to use that screen.

It doesnt do this if its already windowed (maximized), and you'll only loose a small section where the window title bar is as opposed to full screen.

Hope this helps.

I'd managed to get it running in windowed mode, but that didn't work for a couple of reasons:

1) The 3D match engine gets incredibly clunky, and

2) I keep closing the application by mistake when I want to continue! I can't tell you how annoying this is (and I appreciate it's actually my fault).

Think I'll have to put up with it minimising. Thanks for the reply.

Question to SI: Is multiple-monitor support on the radar for the FM series?

Many thanks,

R.
