Asked Wed Apr 06, 2005 4:46 am

have decided I want to expand my flight simming and use 2 monitors with FS2004. One for instruments, the other for out of window view. I am unsure of what I need to do. Someone told me I need a dual head video card (at least 256 mg), while I also read that you can use 2 PC's and 2 monitors, with the main PC holding fligh sim program, the second PC for instruments, networked to the main. What is correct? How do I network?
How 'big' do the PC's need to be? Is there a web site that explains all this?
Need help badly...

What U really need is a video card with DVI out and of course with the regular CRT out. For 2 monitors it is OK. If U planning to use that just for instrument panel on the second monitor there will not be almost any effect on frame rate. I have it for more than 2 years and I can tell U it is a huge step forward
