yes you can,
(I only run FSX but i presume that it applies to FS9)
Run your computer in extended desktop mode
run fsim in windowed mode
create a new view and undock it.
drag it over to the other monitor.

If you need clarification on any of these steps i will be happy to help

Thnx for the answer..
It does sound easy.. but when I use window mode I don't get to have full graffics and antialiasing... so there are too many pixels..

Hmmmm....
I don’t think i can help you with your graphics problem but i can’t see why it wouldn’t work. Maybe a problem with your graphics card

If the two graphics cards are different you may get problems with the drivers unless you set it up in the BIOS of the PC. Are they the same cards? Are they using the NVidia SLI interface?
