Hi All
Ok let me first say that i have read about TH2G and Spanning. Has anyone done both? I am busy with my half cockpit (Captain side) and overhead etc... However, i am toying with my forward views. I have a 17" CRT for my center ECAS and standby guages and a 19" LCD for my PFD and ND. I then have a 23" LCD for forward view. So the question is, I can't really afford a TH2G at this stage with the other cockpit stuff on the cards so the question is: do i buy another 23" and Span or NOT? I don't want to stretchhhhhhhhhhhhh the forward view - i want to INCREASE my field of view. i.e. If am at a gate and pushback and as i turn will any planes i see also at gates be stretchedddddddddd or will my FOV be wider? In retrospect i should have just bought a projector but i wasn't planning to build a bigger cockpit when i got the 23" monitor.
ALSO - I am planning on using FSXpand for instruments - am i able to save a scenario i.e. cold and dark and switch off - i.e. nothing on the PFD/ND/EICAS etc. Then, when going through the procedure of startup will the instruments "appear" where they SHOULD be? Do i need to save a scenario? Is it possible to start any flight via flight planner etc and select the 737 for example and have the guages where they should be?
Thanks in advance. Yeah, i have asked LOTS of questions but I would rather ask the same thing 2000 times than waste $2000 :)
Thanks in advance.
