FSFlightMax, using FSFM remote, will run on second PC using Widefs, don't know about the Garmin as I don't have it.Widefs also allows you to run ActiveSky, FS Meteo, RW, SB and other seperate programs on the second PC.From what little I know of WideView it allows you to run a second instance of FS linked to the main FS and with WideView you can display any FS window.HTH

Alex:There is a decent article on this topic in the current edition of COMPUTER PILOT magazine. Everything from a humble single cable interconnection of a PC and a desktop to elaborate multiple screen rigs with panoramic views. Alex ChristoffN562ZMinneapolis, MNThermobulb@aol.com

Hi,I run FSFlightMax, Activesky and FSGarmin530 on my 2nd computer using WideFS and they all run perfectly....No frame rate hit whatsoever doing this whereas I would lose 3 - 4 frames running the Garmin alone on the same computer.Hope this helps ....

Yes, I could do that. But now on my (third) monitor I have not only the Garmin and Flightmax, but they are integrated in a panel that also shows engine instruments. Garmin and Flightmax are embedded in that panel. I have to run the panel window plus th other applications in order to get what I want. I include a pic so it is easier to understand.Alex
