June 4, 200620 yr Hi all, How do I run multiple instances of the FGFS software on a single processor (say a 2.26GHz,1024Mb RAM, using WindowsXP/LINUX OS) to generate multiple cockpit views on different screens? The manual says this is not possible since the simulator is too processor intensive,but has anyone successfully tried it by trimming the software or anything?RegardsNachiket

AFAIK, the only thing that's been successfully tried so far concerning multihead output is using cards with support for hardware-stretching, that is one instance renders to multiple different screens that are technically "one big screen" to FG.
