Hey guys,

I thought I'd use the wealth of information found in the members of this forum and ask some questions. Im building a multi monitor 180 degree visual system for flight sims and have been partially successful with having two view points in MSFS extended on two monitors. I also need to find out how to network multiple computers and interact them together in the flight sims as each computer can only handle two displays and I need a setup for 5-6 displays. I have the hardware but dont know about the software interfacing.

I can't figure out how to network the displays in MSFS and I can't even get two displays on one pc working in LOMAC. Does anyone know if its possible to have several view points on several monitors in LOMAC and how to do it? I also need some help on networking pcs for more than 2 monitors.

To get multiple computers networked together running MSFS, then you need to get a program called WideFS from Peter Dowson at http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html I think you have to pay to use it now. Good luck.

Hi,

At www.frugalsworld.com there used to be a picture of someones MS flight sim set up where they had about 10 monitors hooked up to the giving 180 degree view plus the instruments, etc...

You might want to ask frugal who set that up and ask them how they did it.
