Thread: Concerning multi monitor setup

Mike,
It's worth adding in summary to all of the above that, for what you are talking of doing, you could in theory do it all perfectly from one PC, using multiple monitors.
You could for example use one of the video outs on your graphics cards purely for your external view on a large monitor / projector.
You could then hook a TH2GO on to your second video output and then position the 3 monitors (that TH2GO gives), and drag all of the 727's panels (your panelshop MIP panel, engine panel, etc) to these monitors.
However, goes without saying that this would require a heck of a powerful PC!
To sum up other options;-
WideFS - Syncs other applications with FS parameters via a network (ie...Project Magenta). This would be if you were using 3rd party (non FS) gauges.
Wideview - Syncs up multiple copies of FS on networked PCs.
In short, as we say here, the world's your lobster!David R

Thanks for those explanations. I'll keep the FS DF727 gauges on one system and run the outside views on another networked computer.
This system is not strong enough to run everything.
Theoretically, I could use a TH2GO on each computer and have three outside views on one computer and three monitors for my instruments on the second.
Is that right?Boeing Skunk Works

That's absolutely spot on.
Today I was doing some testing on my system, and had a DualHead2Go on one of my networked PCs and a TripleHead2Go on the other one. Had my PM gauges spread around the first PC and my views on the others (albeit on odd sized monitors as I'm awaiting 3 x 19"ers arriving!).
In your case, you'd run FS with Wideview on both PCs. On one PC, you'd kill the exterior views and just drag the different DF727 panels across the TH2GO monitors ............. and on the 2nd PC, you'd have your view only, with no panels spread across the TH2GO monitors on that PC. Wideview keeps the gauges on PC1 synced up with the view on PC2.David R

Having a Dual Head and Triple Head 2 Go on one system would actually work, and not bring the PC to it's knees?

Hey Eric,
I was suggesting a 3H2GO on one PC and a 2H2GO (or another 3H2GO) on a second PC ..... I believe there are problems when trying to use 2 x 3H2GO on the same PC as you can only install 1 set of drivers.David R

Video Splitter
Hi
To show Captain pfd on one monitor, and First Off on another, use a video splitter. The signal comes from a PC graphics card and goes to the splitter. From there it is split, and sent to both pilots monitors. Both pilots receive the same image, but only one graphics card is used. Your outside view would be from another card (3 to go - or Matrix Parhelia). Additional to this, you could install yet another (PCI) card for instruments.
I have been using this layout for four years without any problem. Networking scares me!!!

Not A Purist!
Your point is fair, but I use FS Panel Studio to make my gauges and although the F/O does not have a totally authentic display, the overall effect in my cockpit is very good and certainly very satisfactory for many simmers.
My cockpit is a Twin Otter, so the gauges are few.
I dare say if I flew the big jets, I would need to modify my approach - but I can't see the point in flying on auto pilot at 30,000 feet in cloud - what a bore!
TONY.
A keen simmer - but not a purist.

I like your approach Tony - I am currently reassessing my cockpit to make it more simplistic and pragmatic to configure, set up and use.
