Laptop screen and external monitor give identical image

Post by vanliessum » Sun Jan 24, 2021 9:15 pm

I use a Macbook Pro with Bootcamp to run Windows 10.
Condor runs well on the laptop but I have an identical image on the second monitor and I need it only on the external monitor (1). After joining flight my cursor has disappears(2). Furthermore I cannot regulate the volume in flight (3).
So.. three problems! Any ideas?

Problem 1:
go to Windows Settings > System > Display and there is a option were you can select both screens mirrored, both screens extended, only laptop screen or only exterior screen.

Problem 2:
This is completly normal. You can't use the curser while flying. Press Escape for starting flight. (Cursor will appear automatically)
Assign a key for everything you need to control.

Problem 3:
Press the windows-key Image. The taskbar will appear. So you can change the main volume using the mini icons in the right area.

Thank you for your suggestions.
1. The settings of the screen of the macbook (laptop) and external monitor are ok and work fine using different programs, that I can sweep from one screen to the other. But no program shows itself in a similar way on both screens at the same time. Generally I use the external monitor that is larger for the main program. If necessary, I can still work also on the Macbook screen.
2. That's clear
3. I have a Mac keyboard, so no Windows key.

Don't f11 (decrease volume) and f12 (increase volume) work on your MacBook keyboard?

@JShiek:
1. Found out that it can be setup in Condor. Problem solved.
3. Mac Command key works the same as the Windows key, so this problem solved as well. Thnx.

@DanD:
Might work, I will try it tomorrow. Thnx for suggesting it.
