The way that FS-X handles 2d panels has changed, but the old view 
"modes" appear to be in there, just buried in menus, with more view options...

We've had the FS-X (dodgy alpha release garbage..) "demo" running 
with a triplehead2go and it works just like FS9 does, although there 
is something a little weird about the zoom ratios or something, at 
least it appears to be, but who knows.

BTW Triplehead2go:  BUY ONE!  They rock!  One of the best bits of my 
job is getting to play with cool stuff, and TH2GO is way up there in 
"coolness".  I plan on using one in my TA-4 sim, probably driving 3 
big LCD screens, with matching ridiculous sized fresnel lenses.  I'd 
say that this thing is the single biggest leap in visuals for a sim 
builder in ages.  No multi-pc setup using wideview or similar, just 1 
PC with a good vid card, and you can achieve stellar results!  TH2GO 
+ 3 projectors = very VERY big smile <lol>
