Ok...Brain is overloaded. Here is the plan. Going all the way! 3 VGA for forward 1/4 left and 1/4 right out of cockpit view, and 2 maybe 3 VGA for a)panel b)radio stack c)charts?.  I put in a ATI9700PRO which is good for 2 VGA outputs but me thinks that is a bit short of the plan, am I overthinking this or do I really need to go the Matrox route $$$$$$ Any thoughts. Thx.

Okay, that's a load of cash to spend.  Try this:  Keep the three for the cockpit (full, 1/4 left and right) and use the left for the radio stack and the right for the charts, neither of which you need on-screen 100% of the time.  Then use one more for the panel and voila!  You have a major VR cockpit! ;D
