O well, thanks for not booting me for my questioning before reading the sticky See, now I have useful hint for someone

Anyway, for those with 2+ monitor desktop I would recommended following method(this works on BCM, dunno about UC-serie, but prolly it works well with those too):

Before you start the game, open html-appendix(the one with charts, bases and tech info etc.) or any other helpful file into to secondary monitor, then launch the game with -w2 parameter. Game will start in main monitor, with desktop sized window allowing you easily to refer the manual or other stuff you have open in secondary monitor.

Heh, no need for printing anymore, tho I did it already

Great Tip!

I use the same basic technigue on my wide-screen, except that I use the -w1 command line.
