Hello fellow flight friends,

 

I have a triple screen setup(msfs2020) and used to run Air Manager for my fourth screen but my 2080s GPU seems to struggle a lot with 4 screens attached so I gave up for a while.

Decided to give my laptop and another large monitor (connected to it) a chance to act as 4th and 5th screen.

Running Air Manager on my sim PC (ethernet) and attach the laptop (wifi) via Spacedesk gave good results for a C172 steam gauge panel but the G1000 pop out panels took away about 20-30% fps.

Would it be of much benefit to purchase Air Player and install it on the laptop and ditch Spacedesk? My goal is to have both G1000 screens on a large screen attached to my laptop to ease the load on my game rig.

 

Thanks for any insight!

 

Cheers

Never heard of Spacedesk and have always used Air Player with no problems. The Air Manager people designed Air Player specifically for their Air Manager, so I never even thought to use anything else.

Thanks.

 

Air Manager  cannot display the G1000 panels, these have to pop out in msfs and dragged to a screen. It only provides the bezels and knobs. If I purchase Air Player for the laptop then what would be the benefit over Spacedesk that's the actual question.

So my options are:

1. Ad my laptop as an extra screen with Spacedesk and drag the panels to that screen with air manager.

2. Install air Player on my laptop and let air manager send the panel to the laptop screen via wifi.

I'd like to have some info before purchasing Air Player for 36 euros to find out it doesnt really help.

 

Thanks!

I am not sure if this helps you but I use spacedesk for tablet connection and Pop-Out Manager(flightsim.to free app) for the screens. 

(I do not know about Air Player)

I tried pop out manager a couple of times but as far as I know it only remembers where to put your panels where you left them or where you saved their position. It does not send pop out panels to screens so the g1000 still has to be rendered by your main game PC. My goal is to take some load of the gpu and use the CPU of my laptop to render the extra screen and panels.
