What games have TRUE Dual Screen support?

I know GTR2 can support dual screen with the second screen displaying all the telemetry from your car.
Obviously not that interesting unless you take GTR2 quite seriously!

Damn you guber! lol. Wondered how long it'd be before I bumped into you on here...

Many thanks again for all the replies guys, much appreciated. I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't made something like this available, especially on the RTS front. I'm still looking around on the net myself, so if I find any games myself, I'll post them up on here, hopefully someone might find something new!

Regards

Indeed it is, not that it matters.
Its still dual screen support of a sort.

As I said in the last post, of no interest unless you follow sim racing games, play it with a sim racer watching and I'm sure they would be impressed due to how usefull it can be

ive been a sim racer for 5 years, i found it more of a distraction as everything i need is on the motec.

doesnt supcom only puts the map on the second screen or am i thinking for something else :S

It does indeed just dump a map on the 2nd screen - my mates 19" + 24" setup is quite good as you get the 19" as one big map overview ... very very useful even if it's not true dual screen support !

Like with FSX you can have the cockpit view on your main screen and extra stuff like the flight log's instruments and stuff on other screen's.

Surely if you've got more than one monitor, the best way for FS9/X is VC stretched across them all? The you've got everything in one place and a much much more immersive sim?

Sup com does whatever you want on the other screen. You can have it so it tracks units on it as they are flying, ideal for early game recon where you are still building intensivly. Its quite an advantage to have 2 screens.

I shall perhaps reinstall Sup Comm again soon and try this out - am going to dig out my old 17" tft and take that up to uni to pair with my 20" main screen, main reason being it's useful for report writing

PinkFloyd · 1 Dec 2007 at 11:49

I'm agreeing on Supcom being good use of 2 screens.
Second screen can do everything the first one can. If you split the first screen in half + use a second screen, and zoom in on the map aswell you get 4 views of the battlefield!

I borrowed a flatmates Dell2407 when he first got it and put it next to mine. Supreme commander over 2 24" screens is immense.
