      Hi all i have 3 monitors and when i enable the secondary display it has issues and does not work (game only shows up on main display at a low resolution). The only way to get the secondary display to work is to disable one of the displays.

      Is there a way to fix this? so i can have
      Display 1 = secondary display
      Display 2 =Main display
      Display 3 = FAF client

        Use windowed mode and UI mod to manage the UI for dual displays.

            You just stretch the windowed game over the 2 screens and with the DualScreen mod it will put the Ui in the correct places

              Oh i was referring to enabling the secondary display in video options so i can have one screen as a map.

              So the question is can the bug be fixed? (the bug being that if you have more than 2 displays enabling the secondary display does not work/ causes issues).

              Temp fix turn off 3rd monitor.

                @thecore Friend of mine had the same issue. Unfortunately he didn't find a fix for except turning off his 3rd screen while the game launches.
                you could try the fake full screen setup that uses splitscreen in combination with ui party to have a 2nd screen with a minimap:

                  The second adapter in-game is really buggy and causes many crashes. Best solution is to use windowed mode, stretch it over and use UI mod to adjust the UI accordingly.
