I posted a similar topic on the GA forum and have not received any responses. I thought it was perhaps because those building GA simpits don't use multi monitors and networked computers as much as those building the more complicated simpits. With that in mind I thought I would post my question here where more builders may see it.
Basically I am interested in hearing how others initiate software on a second computer where the monitor is covered by a MDF or plywood cover with cutouts for gauges. I use a second computer/monitor networked to my FS computer for Peix gauges, Squawkbox and ServInfo (for VATSIM ATC) as well as WideFS/Wideclient for networking. I know I can add a Run command in Wideclient.ini so that it will start other programs once wideclient is started. But how can I start Wideclient if I can't access the icon on my desktop because it is covered with a panel.
Thanks, Dave
