F.A.Q.main

What do I need to have on one hand the scene on a monitor and another panel of the aircraft?

You have several options sorted by budget. The first is the cheapest:

1 - A computer with 2 video cards, one AGP and one PCI. You will not have hardware acceleration in any of the two monitors.

2 - A computer with a video card with dual monitor output (better if you have VGA and DVI as you can convert the latter into a 2nd VGA). You will not have hardware acceleration in any of the two monitors.

3 - Two networked computers. Both the FS2002 and linked to Wideview http://www.wideview.it/. With this option you can view any FS2002 panel in the 2nd computer. You should have two identical fs2002 facilities on both computers. In this configuration will have hardware acceleration on both monitors.

4 - Two networked computers. One with FS2002 and the other with FreeFD http://freefd.homelinux.com/ (free). You will need the connection environment WideFS http://www.schiratti.com/files/dowson/WideFS.zip installed on both machines. In this configuration will have hardware acceleration on both monitors.

5 - Two networked computers. One with FS2002 and the other with Project Magenta (fee) http://www.projectmagenta.com. You will need the connection environment WideFS http://www.schiratti.com/files/dowson/WideFS.zipinstalado on both machines. In this configuration will have hardware acceleration on both monitors

In addition to our course. :-) The one I know is the list of www.simpits.org cabins are more specialized in military but much information is compatible with any car. There are some interesting mail.

How to connect a TFT of 5.6?

The first thing you need is a video card that has a composite video output and the output is NTSC. I've tried it with a GeForce2 440 and it works pretty well. The monitor you can find in the model is www.partsexpress.com 205-017. This is a video screen to a display computer. What conectais the computer via an RCA cable and configuráis the computer to have two monitors. You must check "Extend the desktop onto this monitor" and configuráis at a resolution of 800x600. When starting the software pulsáis CDU if the screw on the top left will open a window with all the texts that appear on the CDU. This can move the window and put in the other monitor (TFT) and go. You have to spend a few hours because there are many adjustable parameters (font size, quality, etc.) Another story is the kit FlightDeckSolutions CDU. You can have the panel and all switches keys, references http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/ACC/mcdukits.htm
