the thing i want to know is there a line to change the monitor in startup cfg

like DCS 

witch line line tells the game to use only the main monitor to display a need to change it to a differend monitor then the main

Holy shit, that's quite a pit!

there is no switch like you wish for in startup.cfg ^^

 

either of the two tools previously mentioned will enable you to have the desired effect, nice setup btw

well one thing you can do is just try the windows hotkey to change a program's display: shift+win+leftarrow. Getting the right resolution for the big screen is easy after that.
