My Current FS9 Flightsim Setup
Flight simulation
using one PC and one Monitor is already a lot of fun.
Expanding this to a kind of virtual cockpit with multiple monitors and
networked PC's will tremendous increase the 'level of reality'. To approach
this virtual cockpit I use (from mid 2008) the hardware and software as described below.
Hardware
FSpanels-PC
with ASUS Maximus Extreme mobo / Intel Core 2 duo E8500 3.16 GHz/ 2 GB Ram /
3x 8800GT 512 MB PCIe / 3 x 17'', 1 x 18'', 1 x 15'' and 1 x 19 '' LCD
for the Main Instrument panel (PFD/ND/Engines/MCP), Overhead panel and
Pedestal (FMC/Throttle/Radios)
FSview1-PC with A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo / AMD 64 3500+ / 1024 MB RAM / XFX
Nvidia GeForce 6800GT 256 MB (PCI-E) / 2 x 19 '' CRT monitor
FsView2-PC and FSview3-PC are the same as FSview1-PC with the only difference
that only one 19'' CRT monitor is connected to FSview2-PC
Software
On the PC's
the following software is available:
Basic
- W XP pro
- FS 2004
Commercial aircraft add-ons
- PSS A320 pro and A330/340 pro Dash8-Q300, CRJ 2004, ERJ 145 PIC
- Flight 1 ATR72-500, PMDG B737 NG, PMDG 747-400

To interlink add-ons with FS2004 and/or for use over the network between
PC's

- Wideview
- Maxivista
On a separate
notebook the following additional software is installed :
- Flightsim Commander
- Navigraph nDAC airportcharts
- Mapsource

To see some
pictures of my flightsim setup and to get some information how it evolved
over time, go to 'Pictures'.
For links to the websites of the developers of the above mentioned software
goto 'Links'
For more information about the purpose of some of the software utilities
in relation to Flightsimulation on networked PC's, go to 'FS
on more PC's'.
