Gauges on a different monitor.

Postby danowar » Sat Nov 06, 2004 10:02 pm

Is there a add on program for FS2004 that will allow you to move certian guages, ie avionics stack, to a run on a networked computer?  

WideFS seems that it might do it, but I am hoping for a freeware program that will.  I don't need all the extra capabilities that WideFS provided.

I like flying in the Virtual Cockpit mode, but like to be able to have the avionics stack up also, without cluttering the montor I am flying on.

Thanks, Danowar

You can do this with dual monitors, after setting up the second monitor you bring up the radio stack right click it and undock it, then you can drag it on to the second moitor, you can do this with the GPS and even the ATC window, however when I drag the ATC window over I seem to lose the print instruction that the tower or ground are giveing me, but that is just on my end.

Dont know your anwere but you might check out the Homebuilt Cockpit  forum. Have seen home-built cockpits there with many pc's/monitors making up the setup.

Cheers.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
