Post by: lobo on July 09, 2003, 18:05

For Sandra
(she needs all the help she can get with her flying)

A Freeware utility for Microsoft® Flight Simulator, allows you to use multi-monitors to view your game

Only a cheapie 16mb NVDIA RIVA TNT one Tony  :(
I dont really have time to play games so I doubt that I would ever get my PC set up like that even if I had the space to do it  ;)

oh right, I see what you mean Sandra, you have three monitors but just one connected. Now funny thing is, the first extra graphics card I bought to take my first PC from a one to a two screen set-up was, wait for it...........A 16mb NVDIA RIVA TNT.........and guess what........it wasnt compatiable for multi monitor support  :'(

I may get a better one one day but its doing what I need at the moment,although as Robo says in another post it isnt too good for the graphics on MS Combat flight simulator 3 when you fly close to the trees  ;)

You can get card for ~£40 now AGP or PCI which should run it in medium detail such as the 128Mb Radeon 7500. I have the 64Mb version on my other PC and runs everything super  :D Apart from of course the particle graphics EEEEEEK
