Saving a flight with two monitors

FS9

Geforce 8800GTS



On setting up a flight I drag 'n drop the aircraft panel, GPS and radio
shack onto my secondary monitor..no problem. I then save the flight, do
my flying and then close the flight.

When I access this flight again the aircraft panel, GPS and radio shack
are always displayed on my primary monitor, however, to get them back
onto the secondary, when I click on "Undock" they jump back onto the
secondary into their 'correct' locations.

Question: Is this normal behaviour, or is there a way to ensure that the
panels appear on the secondary when I re-start that flight?

Fly it until the last piece stops moving.

This is the procedure I follow and it works every time. It's a bit od a
fiddle but bear with me:

- In windowed mode, set up your 2d panels on your second monitor

- Once you have everything as you like it, Hit Alt-enter or use the menu
to get into fullscreen mode. Wait for the screens to re-draw, then
switch back to windowed mode. This is the key for some strange reason.

- NOW save the flight in windowed mode.

At this point you can either fly in fullscreen or windowed mode, it does
not matter. When you exit the sim it will remember which mode it was in
(through the Maximized=0 or 1 setting in fsx.cfg under [main] ) and when
you load the flight it will place the 2d panel(s) in their proper places
whether you're in fullscreen or windowed mode.
