PMDG 747 and ProjectMagenta
Hello everybody. I am new here and have been flightsimming on a desktop PC for awhile and have decided to take the next step & build home cockpit. I have done many hours on the PMDG 747 queen of the skys and love the realism of it and want to expand on that. I dont have the knowhow or possibly the funds to build a fully blown simulator, but am going to embark on this project and find what solutions are possible. My first step is to run FS2004 all the scenery on a large screen and run all the cockpit displays on another machine or machines. I have been told Project Magenta will do the job but am not sure if all the displays will work on other machines using FCUIPC & Wideserver. The only thing I cant work out is if I have to use a standard 747, or if it will work with PMDG 747. I am completely new at this and dont know where to start. Any help would be great, and please if anyone has built a home cockpit arount the PMDG747 I would be eternally great full for some information. I also plan to use the Goflight range of products for switches, throttles, mcp etc & the flight engravity for the CDU whick interfaces with the PMDG 747.
