Can show us your list of what is running? Every set up will be different

What are the problems that I would expect?

I am planning on using a second networked computer for the instruments...I assume this would help.

What is your computer(s) set up?

Nice, I am working on plans for my own cockpit. I haven't decided which route to go yet

I plan on using one :rolleyes:

Lots of things to consider...I have looked at other companies also with good reps. Price for me is important as well as BBB rating. I can handle most tech problems myself...but who knows, I am still looking. But I do know I will go with Windows 7

I looked at Jetline. I am also looking at Xforce (guess they are geared for Xplane). Still comparing prices and benefits

I tend to get involved in a hobby then get bored also. I am new to simming (this time around..I had the original MS flight sim!) To keep myself from wasting my time, money, and effort, I am designing my home cockpit so it is easily switchable from GA (Cessna, ect...) to CA (737 etc...), combat (F16 etc..), and for racing car peripherals. I am going with 3 screens and have a 2 year plan to fully integrate everything. That should keep me busy for 2 to 7 years at least! BTW: If anyone is THAT bored, I am willing to take hardware off of your hands! ^_^

I am still trying to figure what computer/video cad to choose from. From what I have been reading the 770 can handle 3 monitors just fine. But I am still leaning toward the 780. Does the 770 give you 30 fps with three monitors?

Hey! Just joined the forum. I have lloved aviation since a kid. I flew as a right-seater on OV-1D Mohawks and RC-12's. Then started jumping out of them and liked that also. I am retired now and want to build my own flight sim. I am going to purchase mostly Saitek equipment and use Xplanes for the software. I was going to use 3 27" monitors and enclose the cockpit. Right now I am struggling with the computer I will purchase. I have made a spreadsheet and figurred this will cost between 2000-3500 for everything. I am sure I will be asking a lot of questions! BTW: I have no aviation certifications but have about 300 hours flyiing 172's and stick time I got on the Mohawk with trainers. One question I do have: (I know there are debates on it) FS X or X-Plane? Also, is there any recommendations other than using Track IR for realism?
