problem displaying additional instrument window on separate monitor

[stinger2k2]

Hi all,

 

I have a 4 screen setup. 2 for the main view and 2 for the G1000 PFD and MFD.

 

to display the pfd and mfd i open two additional intrument view windows, undock them, then drag them onto their respective 10inch monitors.

 

Here is my problem:-

 

when i open up the additional instrument view the window appears on my main screen, displaying correctly. But when i drag them onto the 10 inch monitor they go totally black. If I drag them back onto my main screen they display ok again. it is like my video card does not have enough memory however i use a 8gb gtx1070 so i would have thought that should be ok.

 

Could it be lack of main pc ram?

 

I have noticed that if I dial my FSX settings waaay back the instrument will display OK on the separate monitor, this is what leads me to suspect a memory issue.

But is it Graphics Ram or main PC Ram?

My setup:

 

2x24inch monitors for main view

 

2x10inch monitors for instrument views

 

intel i5 @ 3.8ghz

 

gtx1070 8gb

 

8gb ram

 

250gb ssd

 

windows 10

 

Cheers

Different problem this one. I sorted the previous problem which was with the pfd display effectively splitting into three colours by reducing the display resolution of the 10 inch monitor. The problem i have now with the instrument not showing at all is definitely exacerbated by a higher res but happens even if i reduce the res to 800x600.

 

Thanks for looking in though.

Some additional information...

Everything had been ok for a while but only if I start the sim with a default aircraft which has a low processor demand (I usually use the microlight). Once on the ground at an airport I switch to the Carenado Phenom (my weapon of choice) and fire up the instruments.I found I was not able to start directly using the Phenom without this instrument issue appearing.

 

As I say, that seemed to work for a while but now even that doesn't help unless I reduce the in-sim settings to very low.

 

Oddly if I do this, get the aircraft and instruments up-and-running, I can then increase the settings without issue. That is what led me to ask the question regarding memory.

 

I can't work out why I am having this problem when others are using multi-monitor setups seemingly without this occuring.

I am having a similar issue, running two display. HDMI and VGA, attempting to get MFDs on second display. They are showing up fine on my main display but when I drag them to the 2nd display they automatically go to an exterior view for some reason. Any suggestions?

If you use fsuipc check for view assignments. If you have a function assigned in both fsx settings AND fsuipc it can cause some strange issues like you are experiencing.

 

I found that clearing all joystick assignments in fsx and only using fsuipc to assign switches that it helps.
