Hi a,,

 

I currently have a 2 screen PC running FSX with PMDG 737. I am looking to network my laptop to provide a 3rd screen. Looking at CRGSim it allows me to display the cockpit DUs on a separate screen but reading the docs there seem to be limitations with flight plans and PMDG:

 

Flight Plans are easy to create in CrgSim. They are, however, local to CrgSim. This means the information is not shared with FSX and conversly flight plans contained in FSX will remain unknown to CrgSim.

 

Does this mean that what is displayed on my 2nd DU nav in FSX will not be displayed on my screen using this?

 

CrgSim and the PMDG 747 do not work together

 

Anyone tried this?

CrgSim supports a very rudimentary flight plan (just location IDs and Lat/longs). This info is not shared with FSX.

 

CrgSim is driven by variables provided by FSX. If an addon works by setting variables in FSX then they should be available for CrgSim and things should work ok. Some addons keep variables local to the addon and don't share them with FSX. If any of these variables are needed by CrgSim then the sim does not work (at least with respect to this variable). We really like the PMDG products but CrgSim doesn't seem to be able to work with them. Radio frequencies are just one example.

 

The flight plan functionality could be enhanced but interoperation with PMDG probably not.
