Hi, can you please specify that was/is your glass cockpit software and how you linked it all together... thank you.

@mehdiAbderezai

Its project magenta. And it's linked thru fsuipc WideFs.

At the moment this setup is in the closet cause i now fly pmdg's 737 on just the 3 screens.

why dont you just click the PFD on a normal jet, the screen pops up then and you can drag and drop it into your lower screens, whats so special about project magenta?

[Spyah]

@captainsmartass123 PM is a system, not only does it display the PFD/ND / EICAS but it also does the logics in combination with PM overheadpanel and CDU.

And second, the lower screens are connected to a second pc, wich has no FS running. I don't have 6 screens connected to one pc.

@Spyah hey thanks for clearing that up, and the fast reply. just one more question, how do people utilize two PCs for FSX use and why do they do it? what are the ups and downs of using two PCs?

[Spyah]

@captainsmartass123 You can use multiple pc's by FSUIPC Widefs. Several software is compatible with that part of FSUIPC. Like my glasscockpit software , but also other glasscockpit software or navigationsoftware for instance. The reason to use multiple pc's is in most cases the possibility to use more display's that way. I can imagine in earlier day it was also benefitial because of sharing the load on the CPU , with software running on the background, but nowadays the cpu's would manage that.

Fantastic setup, just what I am looking for. I have 3 monitors at present and loking to buy teh VRInsight MCP Combo plus a second grahpics card for the panel. Using a second pc may be better. DO you have setup info please?
