November 10, 20223 yr I've spent ages going backwards and forwards in my head whether I could justify the cost of a full size OH from CPFlight or some similar company, in the end I opted for a compromise and picked up a 32" touchscreen monitor off Ebay. It works like a charm. This week I spent making a surround panel so it looks less like a large monitor hanging above me and something that looks a little more at home in a cockpit.

Well done 🥳 Cheers Gerard, appreciated. 3 hours ago, rfelger said: Awesome! do you notice a frame rate hit when displaying the OH panel on that monitor?? No, no hit at all, because the monitor runs separate from MSFS. You only experience a performance hit if the virtual screen is shared across to another monitor, such as creating a second cockpit view or dragging a pop out instrument across.

November 11, 20223 yr Author 8 hours ago, rfelger said: Oh, i see, so how do you get the OH to display on it?? Hiya, it's very simple, honest This is taken from the Aviaworx webpage... What Is It? aviaOverhead allows you to display and control PMDG’s 737, 747 and 777 jetliners. aviaOverhead comes in 2 flavors: as a stand-alone application that runs on a computer in your network or as a webapp, very similar to aviaCDU In both cases you need aviaServer up and running as that established the connection to your Flight Simulator. Supported Aircraft The current version allows you to interact with the overhead panel of the : PMDG 737 NGX (SP1c or later) or 737 NGXu (Both Microsoft Flight Simulator and FSX/P3D) PMDG 747 Queen of the Skies II, including the 747-8 (FSX/P3D Only) PMDG 777 (FSX/P3D Only) aviaOverhead for the 777 supports both Passenger and Freighter variants and you can choose between the two. aviaOverhead for the 747 supports the -400, -400 Freighter, -8i and -8 Freighter variants. The correct configuration is loaded automatically based on the loaded aircraft.
