I'm also interested in this sort of setup, 2 monitors, 1 main and 1 mirror.
In fact, I've been looking for a way to use my secondary monitor (15" LCD) with LFS, but I still can't find anything that would enhance the experience for me.
Main problem is that my main is a 24", so the difference between the two monitors makes it impossible to use them combined for a larger view (yes, I tried, more than I can or wish to remember).
All applications that show info outside LFS are useless to me, as I can see the same stuff in LFS while playing.
Just for the record, my main LFS activities are cruise & more serious racing (FB1, UF1/UFR, GTR's).
This is a list of stuff I had hoped to put on my secondary monitor:
- Vehicle data (tires, suspension, clutch... like F9-12 and shift-L stuff)
- Overview of players and any useful info about them (car, status, position, ...)
- Bigger map (So I can disable it on main monitor)
- Chat and similar stuff that I like to see, but oftenly distracts me.
- Different views (as if I would spectate myself, but in a different view, as I like to drive cockpit view, but on 1 monitor I have no idea what's happening around me unless I use the look left/right buttons and then crash into things).
- Mirrors and/or small sideviews.
- ...
List goes on into infinity...
So far NONE of this can be shown on my second monitor.
The only thing that isn't 100% absolutely impossible is the mirror/sideway view, tho I fail to achieve this without making LFS completely unplayable.
So... if anyone knows how to accomplish this or anything else mentioned in my post, free cookies.
