Hi,
I have decided to upgrade my flight simulation rig by making my own simple cockpit. I have everything else thought out but I have never done anything with multi-monitors on computers.
I'd like to have 4 monitors for outside viewing, setup B737 style. The 5th monitor I would have as the 2D panel view for instruments. A full list of what I'd like to run:
4 outside viewing monitors/TVs
1 smaller monitor for instrument panel
Saitek Yoke, Saitek rudder pedals, and Saitek throttle quadrant (1x)
Saitek switch, multi, and radio panels
Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX)
I'd be building a custom frame to mount this all in. Here are my PC specs:
Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit
8 GB RAM/Memory
AMD FX 8350 Eight-Core Processor, 4.00 GHz
AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB
Two 1TB hard drives (one is C:\)
Let me know if I forgot something on system specs.
I want to know if this PC/graphics card can run what I requested with the monitors. If so, I need to know how to set it up, because I've never done multi-monitoring before.
I wanted to check if this would work and how to do it before I jumped in and bought the monitors and started the build.
Thank you!
