Hi all,
I'm new to FS2002 and I seek your help..

I am running a pair of pc's.
Both systems are linked together via E-net cards.

Can someone tell me how do I set up FS 2002 to combine
both pc's  to give me multiple views on single player?
I only seem to be able to create multiplayer games
which is great when my mates come round but not so
great for single player  

Can you help out a Newbie?

Many Thanks

So you're trying to run both PC's to essentially run two monitors?

Check back in the forum for a bit, there's a topic entitled "Multiple Monitors" or something like that.  I'm not sure how much information is there, but I do remember it being there.

And if you find anything out, lemme know.  lol  My girlfriend and I are waiting for our third PC (second new one in a year), and I'm considering taking the "old old" one and using the monitor for a second view.

Thanks!

I think the guy who posted the picture a while back used a program to give him the multiple displays on different PCs. You'll have to find the post and see what that program was.

Cheers I will let you know how I get on..

BTW...
...I must get both pc's running along side each other,
achieving this will give me 4 monitors :D

Looks good....I just want to hook up two, so I can get a full shot out the front window.

Anyone know how to get a right side panel if I did set something like this up?

Just thought I'd let you all know
I have now installed WideView, and after an hour of
trying to get the thing working without crashing my
pc's I'm happy to report that I have multi views ;D

my only problem now is where do I put my other 2
monitors ???
