37lover Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've only played a little with the demo version but does the full version allow use of multiple monitors, or at least two monitors? Could you for example display the schematic layout on a wall mounted flat screen and use a second, or laptop monitor to control locos, points etc?

RDS Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 @37lover As far as I am aware, there are no differences between the demo and full version apart from the number of loco's that can be controlled and the number of lines you can have in a program.

Fishmanoz Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 37lover, first, RDS is correct. And the answer to your question is no. You can have it showing on more than one monitor but only if they are cloned (same output on both displays) not extended (different outputs for each display). You can achieve it to some extent using a handheld app and showing different amounts of layout and locos on each. I wonder if RM Support has a view on what might be coming in this regard in a future upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 @37lover I think it is quite a novel idea being able to display the layout on a wall mounted flat screen monitor. We have a thread running under the RailMaster section of this forum called 'Desirable features for future updates' I suggest you add your idea to that thread.

I have displayed railmaster partial on my laptop and the other half on a monitor, this was achieved by setting my laptop for two monitors with extended view. Nothing to do with railmaster done through the laptop (Toshiba Satellite) display settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I thought of this way - just half drag the program window across between monitors. But it's a bit of a fiddle and you can't maximise it because it will move to one or other monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
