Question about MS Flight Sim X

[TangoWhiskey]

Does anybody know if the Advanced edition (the one with the G1000) allows you to put up BOTH the PFD and MFD, on separate monitors?

I have dual flat screens and would love to run it with the PFD on one monitor, and the MFD on the other.

i think if you undock it, you can just drag it onto your second monitor, assuming you have that setup. I was flying the mooney on X and could not find where to turn on the AP or set anything....anyone figure that one out yet?

Did ya try clicking onthe white button marked "AP"? lol.

Try "z" that worked in all previous versions.

Shift+[1-9] bring up different things, one of which will be the AP control

And keep in mind the FSX sim is about 80% of a G1000, so be careful not to build bad habits practicing with it.

I'm a bit disappointed with the flight dynamics of some of the aircraft. Some of the planes seem real good.

But..with realism up all the way...
I just took off in the King Air... Held the yoke back to the stops...Forced it into the air....Pulled the gear up.. Rolled it inverted..and climbed out inverted.... Turned around still climbing..Dove for the runway and did a low pass. Followed by an outside loop as hard as I could possibly do it..Past Vne. Didn't hurt the plane....Came back around and did a regular steep turn and pulled a bit..and *THAT* overstressed it..But the rest didn't...Come on.

It no doubt was because you flawlessly flew the maneuvers under tolerable G loads!?!
