For the time being, FlightGear only supports one view position at a time. Multiple view positions (e.g. one screen for the tower view and a second screen for the plane) would complicate a "locked to cache" flag quite a lot...<ref>http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg28864.html</ref>. | For the time being, FlightGear only supports one view position at a time.

Originally, Tim Moore provided a patch to use the osgViewer class to set up windows, manage the main camera, etc. Mathias Fröhlich used the slave camera feature of osgViewer to provide a "video wall" style of multiple displays that was demonstrated at LinuxTag for years.
