11.35 multiple monitor issue

Question

I have three monitors, all connected to a single nVidia card. 

11.35 has trouble controlling two monitors I used for X-plane, 11.34 has almost no trouble.  And the reason I don't use three is that X-plane has trouble with two already.

Upon launch, X-plane seems confused and unable to display menu in the correct monitor.  It displays menu on one (2nd) ,but not clickable; the main monitor receive click events but no UI.  

Even if I specify only use one monitor, X-plane darkens the 2nd monitor.  Previous beta displays menu on both of them, but had similar issues (https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/184587-x-plane-1135b4-having-trouble-with-multiple-monitors/&tab=comments#comment-1713762)

I suspect it is related to FreeSync/GSync, but not sure as 11.34 works better.

Hi swuphoto1,

I am not from Laminar Research; just a flight simmer from down under.

Obviously you have seen the videos from Russ Barlow from which I will not make reference to as a possible solution avenue.

On the other hand have a look at the following link from Michael Brown found at https://www.youtube.com/user/col2mab/videos  You will need to take some time in scrolling through his list of videos which deal with multiple monitors.

Michael operates a business in the USA called XForcePC which specialises in building  PCs for flight simulation.  He specialises in units for X-Plane.  Laminar Research has a preference for this business as the only supplier of PCs suitable for X-Plane.

Now,if  this link is of no help then lodge a bug report as suggested in the link provided in your originating question.  There is no link between Laminar Research (X-Plane.com) and X-PLane.Org  The bug report can be found at http://dev.x-plane.com/support/bugreport.html

As a side issue I understand that FreeSync or GSync has no bearing or influence on X-Plane now that multiple monitors can be used/configured for X-Plane when using multiple instances on a PC with a single legal copy of X-Plane.

Good luck.
