Request: Add a "Secondary Screen" or specific "spectator" screens #1517

(I think this is where I post requests... let me know if this is the wrong place. Thanks)

Issue: When I run multiple Main Screen station clients, changing the view on one client changes the view on all anothers. I would like to run both the Main Screen station "external view" on one client and the Main Screen station "Radar" on another client. I want to use dedicated monitors in my bridge setup for these two screens, being able to use all the mainscreen station functions for each client independently from each other. I understand its setup this way so other stations can change the main screen, so I am not asking to change main screen function.

Can we have a Secondary Screen or maybe some spectator screens so I can have dedicated monitors to a particular view? While I am asking, maybe have multiple secondary screen stations?

There is the "window" screen, but that's always first person view?

There is also a spectator view already?

I guess I am asking for another "Main Screen" station (call it secondary screen or something) that acts independently from the "Main Screen." I want to have clients dedicated to certain views without sacrificing screen real estate for controls. That way, my "Main Screen" monitor that dominates the bridge can have other monitors below it displaying the tactical radar, etc, but the Captain can adjust these screens. My post on Starship Sims website has a picture of my setup and controls.

By the way, thanks for the quick response! This game is amazing. Thanks!

So basically a dedicated radar screen station. But wouldn't something like this happen then?
