SYMPTOMS
When you start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 - A Century of Flight, you cannot select the Undock View feature and configure multiple monitors.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you run Flight Simulator 2004 in full-screen mode.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, run Flight Simulator 2004 in a window. To run Flight Simulator 2004 in a window and to configure multiple monitors, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Flight Simulator 2004.
 * 2) When you are in the cockpit, click Views, and then click Full Screen.

Note You can also press ALT+ENTER to switch between full-screen and window modes.
 * 1) On the Views menu, click Undock View.
 * 2) Click the title bar of the undocked view and use a drag-and-drop operation to move the view to the monitor where you want the view.
 * 3) Configure each monitor to display Flight Simulator in full-screen or window mode.

Note Multiple full-screen setups are not saved in Flight Simulator 2004 or in flight configuration (.cfg) files. You can save a flight while each display is in windowed mode, and then switch to full-screen mode after you start Flight Simulator 2004.
