The more I search the more I'm starting to agree with you Shawn...
I guess its either, give up on my VC idea and go with wideview, or add a second video card to power the 2 other screens and hope I've got the system power to drive everything.
Re: Panels on a Second PC
I went with a seperate stand alone guage package that allows you to setup multiple files for different aircraft and run it all on a seperate computer. I wouldn't do it any other way now. I had found that no matter how powerful the main flight sim computer is there was always an issue with frame rate loss displaying 2d and 3d from the same computer. There are some freeware packages but I bought a few of the Simplugins packages and don't have any complaints at all.

Re: Panels on a Second PC
Thanks Shawn, got a little more thinking to do I guess...
For now I'll stick to what I have, just because space is limited until I can get my basement finished. Once the Sim has some more room to grow, maybe I look at adding a few bigger screens driven off one box on a wideview client, and use my current displays for 2D panels on as wideview server... that would give me what I'm after in the long run..
Re: Panels on a Second PC
Wideview only works with views and not gauges, most of the networkable guage packages that work with FSX come with their own interface between computers using Simconnect and FSUIPC.
Re: Panels on a Second PC
Have you found a solution yet? I currently have 5 monitors running off one computer. Although it works, it prevents me from using the advantage of my Invidia 3D Surround option. It does reduce the performance of the system also.
I am looking for a way to keep the outside visuals on three monitors connected to the main sim computer and add two monitors for displays to a networked computer.

Re: Panels on a Second PC
I have two lcd displays running guages off a networked pc using simplugins panel builder software and fsuipc wide client, the simplugin software supplies software that connects to wide client and I have already built two panels, one for the spitfire and one GA.
Hope this is useful information.
Re: Panels on a Second PC
I also have Panel Builder running on a client computer, which outputs to separate Displays for the instruments.
In addition, I have REX Essentials +OD and REX4 also running on that client computer.
It helps reduce the load on the main FSX computer.

Re: Panels on a Second PC
I have REX essentials + OD and REX 4 also but I only used them for textures but not for the weather engine so I don't expect a hit on my fsx pc as once the textures are installed into the sim they aren't being constantly loaded from REX, the weather engine I use is Opus but I haven't been able to get it working on my networked PC yet although it should work.
