6 screens

Buddah · Post by **Buddah** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 7:18 am

So, I'm working on a sim pit project and I was wondering if there is a way to have the HUD on a set of upper screens and the the radar and other instruments on another three screens. A lot like a Raptor from Battlestar Galactica .

Anyone know if its possible to use 3 monitors and have the side views in them? F10 key views, thanks

Yes, it is possible. There is a program for doing just that and it's not hard to do.
I just don't remember where the info is. Perhaps someone else can direct you.

The only thing I have against such a system is that it'd spill me whisky!

You have to get one with a cup holder........

:P:P:P:P:P:P

Ach, I just put the whisky in my hydration unit, on my old backpack, and suck on the tube!

This is my current setup so far.

I have the center monitor already mounted in my simpit and I am waiting on a new main board and processor. I was hoping for some 3rd party software that could display the radar rather than a screen grab.

I did like the 3rd party software that was in this thread for target information and ship systems. (thanks Eclipse)

I am considering using this on the lower center screen (if I can emulate it properly) rather than the radar display, however, I dont know much about running a program for mac on a windows machine.

Looks like it shoots plastic bullets. Maybe it can cut through shields and go directly at the hull.

MMaggio · Post by **MMaggio** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 12:05 am

I think it is there for "suicide" in case he gets captured by the Vonari!

It is for defense against the wife.

If it works, I'd patent it.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 4:26 am

Plastic pellets are poison to Vonari, so it will work against a Vonari Boarding Party. I don 't know about the wife though unless she is Vonari ofcourse....

:P:P:P:P:P

if only you could devise some sort of sound dampening so you can't hear the wife shouting for you to take the trash out. That would be worth its weight in scotch:P:P:P:P:P

WWI pilots sometimes carried a pistol for suicide. As one pilot put it "They'll never burn me." They didn't have parachutes and there was a danger of the plane catching fire. You don't want to be in that.
