Hi guys once again,

 

I have the oldish PC that just sits in the corner of the study collecting dust. Its not actually too bad and has a dual core 2.4GHz E4500 and 256mb GPU, not great but worked for FSX until I got my current beast. I was wondering is there anything that I can do to increase performance on my main machine by having this one take care of a few things, like in a network?

 

Thanks,

On my old PC (even older than yours, P4) I run Plan-g and FS Commander while I am flying. I installed FSUIPC (registered) on my main PC with a client on the old PC. It does nothing for the performance on the main PC, but I like the expansion.

 

Greetings

Sounds like an interesting addition, thanks for the idea

I run a similar setup. FSX is on my main machine, and on the old one I run AS2012 (need to set up SimConnect correctly, detailed in the AS2012 Manual) TOPCAT, my VA's ACARS, FSInn (for VATSIM) FSBuild, Charts and any other Addon that can integrate through FSUIPC. Its nice having the Sim running by itself and everything else on the other computer. I also use a freeware program called InputDirector which acts as a virtual KVM of sorts allowing you to use one KB and mouse over multiple computers.
