This is such sad news. You sir, have made such a huge difference to the lives of us ordinary simmers, to have the forethought to set up a site which is the number one goto resource for thousands of people to share ideas, news and enjoy their favorite hobby. Avsim will go on forever, your legacy to us is huge. Thank You. Best Wishes to you and you family. Richard O

MikeI looked into this a while ago.It is possible where only one monitor is plugged into one computer. So you may be able to do it with project magenta. You would need to display the FMC quite large to be able to hit the buttons properly.I have a multi monitor set up with three screens connected to one computer and was told by a retailer that you can't have one of the three as a touchscreen.I am also interested in peoples experiences of this.Richard

It is good to be back.I have got used to having the different sub-forums though, so would you consider doing something like PSS have, and keeping the seperate forums for different subjects.Anybody else interested in this?Richard

Hi all,She did seem to be exempt from all the usual speed restrictions endured by subsonic traffic. When I went on alpha charlie we blasted off from heathrow's 27R and judging by the display in the cabin went straight to VMO. I have a photo that shows mach 0.71 at 8500ft!A flight unlike any other.Richard

I recently ordered the Throttle Quadrant from www.pcaviator.com and even including the postage it still worked out much cheaper than ordering in the UK.

Hi MartinI have had a bad experience with an overheating video card.My set up was 1 PC running 4 monitors, an AGP card running a forward full screen view and the main panel on a second monitor. Also a second PCI card running 2 monitors for radios, FMC, overhead (depending on aircraft).The PC was an AMD 2.4, 512mb, nforce2, and the AGP card was ti4200 OTES.This set up worked for months without any problems, but then i started to get the corruption problems as seen on the tomshardware site. Then i started getting crashes until finally the system became so unstable it was un-useable. I didn't know what had happened until I did a search for the problem and found the site you mentioned.Just to be sure i borrowed a ti4600 and put that in and all was working perfectly again.I am now going to go down the wideview, 2 pc route but if i was to connect 2 monitors to one card again i think water cooling is the only way to keep the temps under control. Maybe i was just unlucky because nobody else seems to be complaining about this 1 month after your post(I have only just joined) but I would be interested to know of other problems and solutions.Hope this is of some help.Richard

It is not really feasable to use 1 computer for more than 1 external view. Your frame rates will suffer if you try to go down this route.If you go for option 1 you could get 1 external view from each computer. If you want 4 monitors you will need 4 computers.The only exception to this is if you use the other monitors to display panels (I think you have said that is not your intention).I used a 2.4Athlon with a double header AGP and a PCI to get four monitors running, it worked quite well until the AGP card fried itself! If you connect more than 1 monitor to a high spec video card you need to watch your GPU temperatures, and read this link.http://www20.graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...displya-13.htmlI have read on these forums that there is no benefit to be had by the use of SLI with the current version of flight sim.I think there may be a way round the AI traffic problem you describe, by only having timetabled flights instead of random ones, then copying the traffic files across to your networked machines. Then you just need to keep the time syncronised.I am just about to start experimenting with this so maybe somebody else can explain how this is done?Richard
