Using my laptop as a second screen...

Postby Jimbo » Wed Aug 02, 2006 5:52 pm

... Would this be possible?

I currently fly FS on my Main computer (specs in sig) and i'm looking to use my laptop as a second screen so i can put the GPS map on the laptop screen. Would this work? and if so, how?

Many thanks in advanced for any information given.

Simple answer is no. There is a way, but it strains both systems massively.
