    he must be using all the other computers with video cards in them, but how is he playing one game on all.

    unless there is some sort of vga splitter box

    He#s using the same joystick I use, albeit with a replacement grip.

    Wow, someone likes their flightsims a little too much.
    What kind of radiation dose d'you think he's getting sitting at that rig? :eek:

    ROFL, that pics about 3 years old, but I only noticed now the strap under the joystick! :eek: Does he actually strap himself in?! :o

    An easier way would be to have a projector behind you, projecting into a octangle shaped glass which would project to different white boards, making a similair "cockpit", but as a projection instead of miltiple monitors.

    I noticed that too... but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by assuming it's just there to keep the joystick in place.
    The strap looks pretty tight when you look at the sides of the seat.

    A VGA splitter box would display the same image on each screen.

    I know a few people who are into their flightsims.

    Some of the setups I've heard mentioned in conversation were pretty extreme.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭djmarkus


    It actually seems like he has a computer for each monitor so im stumped! unless he has some kind of cluster going.

    Afaik MSFS allows you to spread the engine across multiple machines (or rather their display adapters) together over a network, it's not really all that intensive, aside from needing a rather powerful core machine to direct the slave boxen.
