Dual/Multi Monitor Mode

May 02, 2012 Samwise9 link
Would it be possible to implement a dual/multi monitor mode, where one or several monitors can constantly display different PDA screens (missions, navigations, target info, etc.)?

How about just give us a function (lua or text command) to center the view on XY screen coords?

So I can center the main view on monitor 1, then put lua widgets all over monitor 2 without blocking the center (most important) part of space.

eg: /centerview 960 540

Would set the center to be at 960x540, which would put it in the middle of a 1080p monitor, then a second monitor would be free to fill without blocking the important bits.

Just a thought? Maybe deserves it's own thread?

The ability to break up the game into multiple windows seems like a good idea. A PDA window would be nice.

Even more amazing if "slave client" can run on different hardware...

+1 on a great idea there Alloh

A separate client that you log in to as well, not a game client, but a PDA client. Could also contain a larger chat window...

Not sure how possible this is though... would depend a lot on the devs time

A group of us were talking about this online and it would be extremely useful in the game. More and more people have mult-monitor setups now, so I think it would help a lot of people. Even if you hooked up a smaller cheap monitor as your second one to keep up a second view (PDA, Navigation, Chat, whatever) it would be excellent.

I'd really love to see some sort of multiple monitor support. Being able to have a view of the PDA whilst flying would be awesome.

now just imagine leaving the chats, radar, HUD, etc on notebook screen, main external view on main monitor, and use a cell phone/tablet for displaying PDA info...

Or being able to load a "light VO slave/client" only with Chat and Trade on a Cell Phone, while at office?

or being able to "broadcast" your main display, and anyone with a "VO slave/client" being able to see it, with some delay?

Or use the old hardware as slave/client and display "side windows", external views to left/right of ship, placing them as a real cockpit?...

Anyway, despite awesome, my vote goes to this wait until Faction Redux, Multiplayer/Event support for PCC missions and Shared Ownership of capships and stations.
