Go into the display control panel and extend the desktop into the second display. It should be a simple check box.

I tend to use EXTMFD and use my other displays for almost full screen MFD's.

Yes, that's what I do. If you go to the Modules tab in orbiter, select 'ExtMFD' and activate it. Then, when you're in orbiter hit F4 > Custom... > Select External MFD and hit OK. Now it will open an MFD you can resize and drag onto your second monitor.

The only other way to use Orbiter on 2 monitors at once would be to change the resolution in the Video tab of the Orbiter Launchpad to a really wide size. You could then drag the window so it plays on both monitors... but remember a couple things: 1) Your FPS might be lower, mine gets chopped to 30 when using a 3D game across both monitors (don't know why) and 2) your video card has a maximum resolution you can run a game in. If you change the resolution and Orbiter gives you an error, than it's too high.

And lastly, if you purchase something like the Triplehead2Go you could use 2 or 3 monitors at once in full screen. I've never tried it, but heard it's good. Hey, look what thumbnail they have linking to software for the Triplehead digital edition:

Now what game does that look like to you?

The OGLA client can also make use of multiple screens in fullscreen mode, but it's still in beta.

Space Shuttle Mission 2007. Orbiter can't do that high of a resolution, it's limited by DX7.
