I had massive trouble getting 6 screens to work, especially since 4 are touch screen. Fact is, FSX won't work on more than 4 screens. I had to lie to the computer to make it think I was running 4, when in fact, it was 6. FS9 was good but lacks some of the features of FSX. So no Matrox for me

In fact, I've seen, and 'played' with FSX running on 6 screens so it is possible, but not sure how they did it. I know that there were a heap of graphics cards (5 or 6) in the back of the computer . . .

You might have to get rid of the bed, but that would be a small price to pay!!

only a good idea if you're flying one of the those WWI biplanes - just adds that extra bit or realism.

The other thing I should have mentioned is that all 6 screens are touch screens so every switch in the aircraft is clickable by just touching it on the appropriate screen. Very nice. If only I had the cash ..... and the space. My little computer cupboard is very restrictive, not much bigger than the spitfire cockpit.
