Anyone here is using a Duel Monitor setup?

Question?

I like to play sims so I was wondering is it possible to lets say be in the cockpit view on one monitor and have a external view of your plane one the other monitor? And how do you go about doing it. If you have any links to some good sites that would help. Thanks guys

you spelt dual wrong

but anyway you will need a good graphics card to play games with dual screens but I would get dual screens just for general PC use

Dual monitors are nice for general PC usage but for gaming I recommend three monitors, because it's not very good to have a vertical blind line in the middle of your view but 2 lines on the sides are much more bearable. It also gives you a larger field of vision than dual monitors.

And I think you need a Matrox thingy to use three monitors.

I know its possible on MS Flight Sim 04, it was pretty useful on landings as you could see the instruments one one screen and then have the chase view on the other.
It was a while ago but i think if you press ALT in flight then you get the menu up the top of the screen, probably under view or something, but yeh it can be done.
