I can help you set it up so that the middle monitor is a regular view and the side monitor is a view of the left or right side, if you want.

Well, download that, and extract it so that the files SoftTH_hook.dll and SoftTH.cfg are in the same directory as the EXE file for Flight Sim.

After that, Overwrite your old config file with this one that I'm uploading, and then start Flight Sim. It should show a full screen SoftTH logo thing on one monitor while the game starts up.

Oh, and open up the SoftTH.cfg file that I'm attaching, and change the Secondary monitor resolutions settings (Near the very top. NOT THE ONES AT THE BOTTOM!) to the correct values for your Secondary monitor. This is the one that games do not usually start up on.

My example. I have 2 monitors, the one on the left goes up to 1680x1050, and the one on the right goes up to 1600x1024. In the file I have the resolution set to 1600x1024 for my second monitor. Well, this all depends on whether or not your primary is on the right or left.

My primary is on the left. ...Err.. anyway... just open up MY file and set up your resolution and let me know how it goes.

Near the very top are some lines that say things like "SecondaryMonitorWidth" and "SecondaryMonitorHeight", it should be 1600, and 1024, respectively. Change those to your monitor's settings.

Download the file I uploaded, then open it on Notepad++ or something. The lines you need to edit are near the top.

There should be a file called SoftTH.log in the same directory as the other SoftTH files, can you upload it?
