Hi Pete, you are wright, i dont have all settings to max. But i dont use the 3d cockpit. The 2d panels and just the forward view isnt realy that tough on the frame rates. (at least that is what i experiance). About the 8xxx series: Yes they are pretty old. But i got them for free. :mrgreen: . I am now trying to get hold of two Ati (or are they now known as AMD?) cards. Trying to find out if its the drivers.... :???: Regards Peter

Hello Pete, first my appologies for the three topics. (i posted three times because i didnt see my topic... now i know why it didnt show right away). Thank's for cleaning it up for me. My computer isnt really that powerfull. Its a Intel i7 980 series at stock 3.05Ghz. When i undock a panel (e.g. the overhead panel) end drag it to my "overhead monitor" it doesnt realy affect my frame rate at all.... I searched all over the internet but i cant find a lot of information regarding FSX and extended desktops or multiple monitors. Maybe its just a simple "bug" in combination with the Gforce8400se card. I will have to seach further. Thank you for your reply (and again sorry for the three toppics) regards Peter

Hi everybody, this one is for the hardcore FS2004/FSX wizzkids... I have build a home cockpit with one computer using 3 (dualhead) video cards. I use WinXP 64bit. i have extended desktops on all three videocards. With FS2004 all works perfect. I just " undock" the panels (overhead, pedestal, engines/eicas, and PFD/ND to the right monitors and i have a perfect working (cheap) cockpit. BUT! With FSX it doesnt work. Ik can use up to desktops with FSX. When i extend the sixth desktop en drag a " undocked' window to that desktop FSX " hangs". (i tried al combinations of monitors en videocard slots etc...) My question: is it true that FSX can only use up to five desktops (where fs2004 can go up to at least 6 desktops)??? I hope somebody knows the anwser! Thanks, regards. Peter van den Esschert
