I recently got a very good deal on a used smaller monitor to use as an instrument panel in MS Flight Simulator, now my question.

How many of these combat flight sims are able to use a 2nd monitor as an instrument panel?
Especially interested in:
DCS World series
EECH/EEAH
IL-2 series
WarBirds
War Thunder (planes)

I am hoping for some easy answers instead of wading into half a dozen manuals.
Thanks in advance

I know many games can support multiple monitors that are the same size, but I'm not sure about different size monitors. I have 3 monitors with different aspect ratios but I've never tried any multi-monitor stuff.

'old' IL2 - yes using UDPSpeed. Limited to offline only (unless you use mods). Works best using a separate computer to drive the monitor tho
IL2 CoD- yes http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3887
IL2 BoS- no
