2 PC Link up? Newbie needs HeLp!!

Postby Arioch » Mon Jul 28, 2003 2:48 pm

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!
Great edit, Bob.

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.

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 ???
