Anyone have a link to that guy's flight sim setup with many PC's/monitors?

I just got MS Flight Simulator 2004.


Also, any good peripherals to purchase to add a little realism when flying?

Not the one your probably looking for, but this guy has a 5 monitor setup.

The one your looking for is probably the 13 monitors, 9 PCs. Slashdot had an article on him, he used fs2002. Looks like his original site is gone.

I have never gotten more than one to work for games and I have 3. I've always wondered how he did it though...

That's very similar to the one he's thinking of(Unless that's really it).

The one that was posted here quite a while ago was basically the same, except quite a few of the monitors were old POS.. lol

It still looked cool, though. That's even better. :D

What would one up even that one is if it was made with virtually borderless flatscreens...

Someone needs to tell these people about KVM switches.

Having just two keyboards and mice on my desk would always screw me up.

The trick to the guy who had a ton of screens was that each network computer was actually a very small 'plane' that was tethered to the main plane. That way, all of the instruments would have the same readings.
