Two Screen Support

[brainbasher]

As a lot of graphic cards support two screens.....How about being able to put all your extra windows on screen second screen

First of all, its not that handy in Horizons because your character will be placed in the midle of the 2 screens. (indeed, it will split up).

When you use the Windows function for dual screen ussage, horizons will run on 4fps and crash.

How-ever if you use the NVIDIA's built in function, when you fake a monitor with (eg 2x 1024x768) 2048x768 resolution horizons will run just fine..

When you get sick of your character split up you can enable the 'movable 3d window' function (horizons options, last tab called 'options') and drag your 'world viewer' to one monitor and use the other one for map/equipment/knwledge.

When you want to try all this in full screen mode you have to edit the file D:\Games\Horizons\Resources\GameConst.def and add your custom resolution.
Make sure the auto-updater replaces the file. To prevent that, make it 'read only', copy it to recourse_override directory or start HZ from command line.

I hope this is a clear story ;-)
