Solve : FlightGear Simulator on Multiple Monitors?

Answer»

Ok.
From my reading, version 2.0.0 of Flightgear supports multiple windows for the same simulation, however, with my XML files, i can not get this to work.

Code: [Select]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- Window One -->
<PropertyList>
<camera>
<window>
<name>wide</name>
<host-name type="STRING"></host-name>
<display>0</display>
<screen>1</screen>
<fullscreen type = "bool">False</fullscreen>
</window>
</camera>
<!-- Window 2 -->
<camera>
<window>
<name type = "string">main</name>
<host-name type = "string"></host-name>
<display>0</display>
<screen>2</screen>
<fullscreen type = "bool">False</fullscreen>
</window>
</camera>
</PropertyList>

this is in a file called "camera-vews.xml", which is referenced from the main "preferences.xml" file like so:

Code: [Select]<rendering include="camera-views.xml" />

however, upon launch of any aircraft, this seems to only open one window. I am probably missing something really simple, but i am unable to find out what.

Specs:
intel two core
dual monitor setup
3 gig usable ram
ubuntu 11.10

The two monitors are not the same resolution, and i would like to have one VIRTUAL camera looking at the panels while the second virtual camera is looking out at the scenery. each camera having its own window, so i can MAXIMIZE them on each screen respectfully.

thank you if you can help. Dangit, wrong section of the forum......
