hi, i haven't dabbled much in the dark art of the multi pc, i know that you must have a seoerate version of FSX runnning on each PC, you also must have simconnect set up corretly and the network setup with all PC's talking freely. also i would recommend that all the pcs run the same operating system, makes life alot easier

hope that helps a little

Is there any reason why you can't use 1 PC and three views (i.e. through triple head to go?). Seems like a far easier solution (K.I.S)

Hi Timmo

Mainly Because I want more than three Views
Ive got lots of Hardware and high end gear ............So thought it would help share the load.
As I like Rotor's............I would like the Head Panels, side panels, 2d Gauges + Lots of Outside views
I thought their were programs for doing all this with multiple PC's .Perhaps Im mistakin

You may want to look into WidevieW...

people have created some pretty hardcore setups with upwards of 20 monitors etc using this... ohmy.gif
