New Home Cockpit Build - Multi Monitor Setup

[chrisdev01 1]

 

I am hoping some experienced home cockpit builders would review my plans and questions (listed below), and provide some insight regarding a multiple monitor setup, so I know what to purchase. I am trying to avoid making any costly mistakes...

I’ve been buying hardware to start my home Cockpit Build for P3D.

Please note that I have too much invested in Add-ons for P3D, so I am not considering Xplane at this time.

In recent months I've invested in the following:

• Intel 8700K PC running at 5GHZ / Nvidia 1080 Ti / SSDs
• Brunner CLS-E Yoke
• Javiator Com1 / Nav 1
• Javiator Transponder
• Replaced my very old CH Pedals with Saitek Combat pedals
• CH Throttle Quadrant (temporary due to budget constraints)
• Various switch panels

 

I have been working in CAD to design the panel and cutouts for a Cessna 310R

 

Instruments will be a combination of:

 

• Air Manager running on PC with a single 17” LED monitor for co-pilot’s side gauges

 

• Flight Illusion instruments for pilot’s side gauges

 

• Javiator complete radio stack

 

• Eventually a GNS530???

 

For visuals:

 

• 65” LG TV as the primary display

• Pair of 32” monitors for left and right wing views

• 17” monitor for co-pilot’s gauges

 

So regarding graphics:

 

- Can I run the front view and both wing views on a single 1080 Ti? Or should I consider getting another 1080 Ti and run SLI?

 

- Can I run the AirManger monitor via one of the 1080 Ti cards? (I read that all monitors have to be the same resolution in P3D, not sure if that’s true?)

 

Note: I do not want to run AirManger on iPad. I’d rather spend money on another 1080 Ti than an iPad, and run AirManger for PC instead

 

- Should I get a budget PC to run my gauges over a network?

 

Thank you in Advance 

Chris
