    dualhead games (awesome)

    Hi guys, ever wanted to use zoom when playing strategy games on a 2nd display, after fiddling about and a helping hand from matrox (the manual is crap) here is the plan:
    1: couple up 2nd monitor and enable zoom in display properties page.
    2: sort out which hot keys you want.
    3: fire up your game.
    4: use the hotkey you defined to enable zoom.
    5: place your cursor at the point you want to zoom into.
    6: l/click and drag out the window size required, the smaller the dragged window, the higher the zoom (full window gives x1 window on 2nd monitor, so half size gives x2, 1/4 size gives x4, any size you want.
    7: if you to resize the zoom, just repeat from 4:
    This facility should work pretty much i imagine with any game or application that uses a cursor such as graphic work.
    regards tic

      would it work in Q3A? then you don't need to have a fov script when using the railgun...

      you could use one monitor for closeby, and the other for further away

        Ha! ha! well what d'ya know, it does!
        You have to run Q3A in a window, but like you say you can select a zoomed area around the crosshair and have it on a second monitor or TV.
        Inspired!
