For my current XP11 setup I run a second PC with touch screen and AirManager for instruments and love it. AirManager is nice but its panels and instruments are limited. Now aircrafts in MSFS seem to have many nice glass instruments already built in, it would be nice to run a dedicated virtual cockpit and instruments on the touch screen. I actually used to do this on FSX/P3D but doing so tanks the fps quite a bit. The new MSFS will likely suffer the same problem as it already appears very demanding on the hardware.

So it could be a good solution running a separate copy of MSFS on a networked PC that is dedicated to virtual cockpit and instruments. An old PC could be just fine since graphic settings can be greatly reduced and a additional copy of MSFS at $60 is certainly affordable. As far as I remember, running multiple networked copies is possible with FSX/P3D and XP11, although I never tried it. Curious to know whether running multiple networked copies of MSFS is possible too.

You'd need something like Wideview ported to MSFS. No idea if Luciano has plans to do that or not, or even if it's possible, especially given that the SDK is not released yet. P3D for example does have built-in 'multi-channel' support but only in the super-expensive Professional Plus edition, and it's generally seen as a 'pro' feature so I'd doubt it'll ever be natively supported in MSFS any more than it ever was in 'classic' MSFS before it.

The more hardcore cockpit builders will need multi-channel support one way or another if MSFS is ever to become a viable platform for them. I expect a solution eventually but I'm certainly not holding my breath! 

Thanks for the comments. Yes now I remember FSX needs Wideview to run multiple copies through network, and only XP11 is ready to be networked out of box.  

I'm not really into hardcore homecockpit setup, just having a touch screen plus Air Manager already made me happy enough. I also pre-ordered HP Reverb G2, and am getting ready to go down the road of VR.
