multiple machines

I want to start using fs2004 with a main machine running the main view and other machines running instrucments and possibly side views. This will mean I dont need a mega machine with 4 monitors but machines which I already have with one monitor each. Can the link between them be standard network connections?

Am I just expecting to much.

thx

Much too much, two-yes but quite a few "flyers do it with their cockpit setups.. Very common.

I think that these will help you more than I can.

who are flyers?

These indicate ways of using 2 monitors from one machine I am hoping to use 2 machines and link them.

I think you might be better off with these builders.
