"WideView Configuration Question - Please Help"

Posted by Brett on 12-28-02 at 22:57z
I would like to setup a system with 1 server and 1 client. Is is possible to have the following configuration. The server would have a dual head AGP card with 2 monitors for displaying the front and instrument views. The client would also have a dual head AGP card with 2 monitors displaying the front left and front right views.

Hi Brett,

You setup will certainly work, but more than likely, you'll be disappointed with the performance on the client. Having 2 3d windows open generally turns FS into a slideshow.

Someone on the wideview forum has made some progress using dual head GeForce cards without the usual massive slow downs that Greenie refers to. Try this thread:

You may not be able to get the exact configuration you described, but these messages should give you some ideas.

Hi Brett,

Welcome to VCP. You don't say what your Server/Client pc's are. i.e. Op system etc??
