I'm surprised I haven't seen anything from the typical searches on this. I'm trying to be able to start X-Plane 11 from either a situation file (like FSX/P3D allows with FLT files) or from panel selection in Air Manager. I need to be able to start with the saved aircraft, weather, position, etc for each start point. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Thanks, Mate. I might look at that as an option. I was under the impression that NVSurround only gives you a very wide "normal" view, and not an actual 225° FOV. This is what I need. I've been playing since and have now 2 NV GTX780's running with 5 displays hooked up. Frame rate isn't awesome, but it's certainly enough for the IFR work that the sim will be doing. My problem now is getting just the right zoom and spread for the displays to be accurate. I'm currently working with -90, -45, 0, 45, 90 and soon of 0.63. Another problem is that I have no idea where to look in airplane.cfg to remove the imagery of the aircraft from the cockpit view. In FSX it was just a matter of removing that file. Not so here. Thanks for you help! Cheers Dave

G'day, Hello! I'm embarking on a fun little adventure with a simulator for a local aero club. I need a little help, advice, admonishing for my goal of running the P3D terrain view across 5 large Plasma displays. I need to be able to do it with one mean mother of a PC and 2 graphics cards (preferably nVidia). The stick paty here is that it needs to be 5 REAL, and separate views that combined will give me 220° FOV forwards and to the sides. I need to know that it can be done, and maybe a nudge in the right direction to get me started. Cheers and thanks for the help! :) Dave

Thanks, Ohsirus. You reckon the core FSX machine being a little underpowered and running a lot of undocked gauges might have something to do with it? I was suspicious of that, and the fact that the most powerful PC is only running visuals as a WideView client. Cheers.

I've played around with the GAPanel from Peix and was extremely impressed. It's very responsive, and quite realistic to look at. Setup was nothing using fsuip.

G'day Friends, I need some help with a project I've been tasked with. I have to reconfigure a GA simulator for use at a flight school. The goal is to have a 220° projected view on a curved display with control input coming from a rather well designed console having dual controls, many of which designed from real parts, the rest a mix of custom and third party. Currently, the system runs, but the scenery display suffers MASSIVE frame loss and is very glitchy. I'll list the current configuration: 1. PC 1 - Runs FSX, displays to a single LCD monitor for scenery overview, and has dual LCD display for cockpit instruments and RealityXP GNS 430, receives inputs from all flight controls, acts as FSUIP and Wideview server. This machine runs a dual core AMD, mediocre video and fast SSD. Panel software (forgive me, I’ve forgotten the name, but it’s the one you can configure and allow to work as a default FSX panel) is displayed on a spilt LCD display (two monitors) at the console. This panel display is stretched across the 2. RealityXP GNS 430 software is also displayed here, on the left side. The RXP instance is controlled by input from a customer-built model of the G430. 2. PC 2 – The display machine – This machine runs FSX, Wideview Client, and FSUIP client. This is the most powerful of the machines with an i7 processor, Crossfire (FAST) Radeons, fast SSD and a lot of RAM. The machine’s display is outputted via DVI to a Triple Head 2 Go, and configured via Immersive Display Pro to stretch across 220° on 3 projectors 3. PC 3 – Runs 3 Monitors, Instructor Station software, FSUIP client, GoogleEarth, and Plan G. This is a budget machine, not critical to the operation other than the Instructor Station software, which, in this setup is buggy at best. Okay, the problem is that while all of this works, it does so crappily. I’ve got a bottleneck somewhere, and I’m having difficulty (operational constraints) determining where it is. 3 probabilities: Triplehead 2 go, Wideview, or the way things are configured. What I need is advice of the configuration (which PC’s where, how much power each needs, HOW MANY PCs, which software to run etc). I know it’s a big ask, so I appreciate ANY advice I receive. I just need a place to start. Also, if anyone has used a similar configuration, I’d love a report on its success. Cheers! Dave

Thanks, you lot I'll do my best to get to the right forum next time. Pierre: I have used the setup you suggested, but with WideView on 3 displays I've got such a massive frame rate drop it's just heartbreaking. The machine is a monster, and when running the simulation itself, it's got no problems. But somewhere between WideView, and the Triplehead 2 Go I've got a huge bottleneck, and I can't isolate it. I figured running the reverse, I could clean things up a bit and get it running smoothly. Cheers Dave I'll check those out. Appreciate all your fast responses

Hello Friends, I need to know if there is a way to display a GA Panel emulation on a separate (client) PC running Wideserver that I will be able to integrate RealityXP Garmin 430 emulation into. I've looked in the PeixSoftware GA Panel, and it's great, but the author says I won't be able to do as I've described. Any ideas? This is what I'm planning to have setup: 1. Server (Main) PC running FSX on three displays with Triple Head 2 Go 2. Client PC running panel simulation with integrated RealityXP GNS430 emulation mirrored over two displays. Cheers Dave
