October 27, 200223 yr Hello,I have 2 computers here, 4 monitors.I tried to run project magenta but I had problems with 2 open-gl screens in the same computer (win XP, I got opengl acceleration in only 1 screen)Also I tried to use WideView to run differents aircraft panels in the second computer, it worked, but there was a delay and offset in the panel update, one time I was in 4500ft and my other computer was showing 5600ft.I think I can run many panels in the main FS computer, but what do you think it's better:Magenta or multiple panels ? (a small home setup, no cockpit enviroment)Anyway to get open-gl acceleration in 2 video boards running in the same computer ?My second computer:1x GF2mx400 32mb AGP2x TNT2 M64 32mb PCII tried drivers 12.41 and 40.52, no luck....Thanks,Ulisses Simionato
October 27, 200223 yr I'm using FS panels on multiple monitors on a single Celeron 500 system. Works great. Currently I'm using a G400 Dual Head and will probably pop in an old Millennium II PCI card for a third screen. Panels don't need much CPU power so you should be fine. Just don't try putting multiple 3D views on a single machine unless you have plenty of power.Peter http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/PeterR.gifBFU Forums Moderator
October 28, 200223 yr Author Actually I'd like to use the panels in another computer....wideview isn't updating the data correctly...Ulisses
October 28, 200223 yr Ah. I've heard there are some problems with Wideview on FS2002. You should keep an eye on the Wideview forums for updates.Peter http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/PeterR.gifBFU Forums Moderator[table border=2 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=1][tr][td][table border=0 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0][tr][td bgcolor=#540000]http://bfu.avsim.net/sigpics/logo75t.gif[/td][td align="center" bgcolor=#FFFFF6]Bush Flying Unlimited"At home in the wild"Looking for adventure?
