I can't fly with pedals unless I have a turn coordinator constantly visible to me. I have been trying to understand how I can run a basic panel on a separate PC, so as not to slow down the frame rate. I took some guesses, probably wrong:
1. Installed Peter Dowson's suite on a server and client.
2. Installed SimFlyer GNS-SX.
It appears I hopefully deceived myself into thinking that GNS-SX was a remote application. This is obviously not the case. So my question is, can I use FSUIPC4 to run panel on a networked PC ?
I am not ready for the fancy stuff. I took 4 hours of lessons years ago, and I would like to learn the mechanics, but I find I need basic gauges within eyesight.
The server is actually a quite competent machine, a 3.0 gHz quad-core Phenom II, with two video cards: an ATI 4870 X2 that runs a 3200x1200 dual display, and an ATI 4670 with 512MB of DDR3. The first thing I tried was a panel view on the 4670. However, when I activate the displays on the 4670, add them to the desktop, and run a panel view on one of them, the frame rate drops from 24 to about 15. Perhaps I could get it back up by moving the sliders left, but I enjoy the detail. This is why I would like to run a panel on a separate machine.
