Hello

One thing to consider is that Radar Contact runs much better on a networked system, the menus are much quicker

A good app you can use if running networked PCs is Synergy. It allows you to utilise just one keyboard and mouse to control all of your networked machines. Just move your mouse of the edge of your screen like a basic multi-monitor set up. Pretty neat.

Inputdirector is really good also and free to boot.

Synergy is also free. Unlike Input Director it also works across platforms, so you can control Windows, Mac and Linux running machines simultaneously. It also has a friendlier set up UI than ID!

Hey mad dog,

Could you please outline the setup process you used to get you system up and running. I had REX 2.0OD on a network and it all worked great. Not there are no WX engine files so I'm at a loss. Please help.
