hmm.. You could purchase WideFS2004 which will allow you to do this... :-)

Just search for "WideFS".

The version for fs2004 is a beta right now...... last time I checked.  It is listed on the same site as the older versions that worked with fs2002.

WideFS requires that a separate installation of fs2004 be on each machine driving a monitor ...... and needs a current version of FSUIPC for the "interface" between the main sim machine and the other units.  (To be legal...... that means a new copy of FS2004 for each machine that it is installed concurrently upon.   :o )  You can put any window display available in the fs2004 sim on any machine.....since you are really just kinda' linking multiple copies of fs2004 together with one machine supplying the flight data to all of them.

FSUIPC for fs2004 is now payware.  Bundled with WideFS (for using the sim on a LAN for such stuff as glass cockpits) it is about $35 USD.


best,
