OK, I've spent HOURS going thru the forums and Googling questions about DCS World 2.0 and can not seem to find the answers I'm looking for. Please forgive me if this is not the right forum to post this.
I am new to the DCS series. I've had it installed for years thru Steam on my computer and never got around to trying it out. Finally one day, was just tired of all my other games and decided to give DCS a whirl. I was hooked within minutes. I immediately bought the A-10A (disabled and on a fixed income, so not a lot of $$$ to spend on games) and was having a blast with it. I then learned about DCS 2.0 and have made the switch. I got the Nevada & Combined Arms pack and have been tearing up the Nevada desert. Now, I've gotten the background laid out, here's my questions:
1. Can you port/move/show the instrument panels on a seperate monitor? Yes, I know about Helios, but can't find anything about if it works with 2.0 and non of my monitors are touch screen. I don not care about that feature right now, I would just like to have the instruments on a secondary monitor. If Helios works for this and works for 2.0, can someone point me in the right direction for getting it set up.
2. IF Helios will not work for this, is there some other program out there that will work? Again, I'm not looking for touchscreen or advanced cockpits. I know the A-10A does not have interactive switches in the cockpit. Like I said, just want to show the instruments on a secondary monitor so that my main monitor is just the HUD and nothing else.
Eventually, after I save up the money, I plan on building a homemade simulator that will work for DCS and others. Rudder, consoles, MFD's, the whole 9 yards. But, for now, just looking to display on a second monitor. Below are my PC specs and equipment. Again, sorry if this is not the correct place for this and thanks in advance for any/all help :)
