  1. These gauges, http://www.flightdecksoft.com/software/index.php , unfortunately have a problem: they cease to refresh if moved to another screen of a multiple monitor setup. I therefore purchased the PEIX products: http://www.peixsoft.com/ . If opened on the main display, and moved to another, they remember the position. The display is a 15.6" AOC, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aAOC%2015.6 . The stand was removed. On one of the bracket mounting holes on the back of the panel, I attached a shelf hanger as used in Ikea type prefab shelving. This hooked into the top of the stand, supporting the monitor at the proper angle. The result is a highly satisfying "glass cockpit" for general aviation. However, it is a little small for more sophisticated cockpits.
  2. Peter, that last link hit the spot! I was so impressed with the FlightDeckSoft offering, I made an immediate donation. The gauge set is perfect for someone who simply wants to learn how to fly. It will easily fit on a 15.6" WS panel I'll squeeze under the two CRTs. It was not an option to place the panel on a 2nd CRT attached to the 4870x2, because both monitors are part of a spanned wide-screen display. I have now disabled the 2nd video card, which is intended for an entirely different purpose -- as a monitor when the 4870x2 is used for AMD's Stream computing initiative. Thanks so much, Bob Morein
  3. 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.
