Update to RNZAF Avionics Glass Cocpit Trainers

[Malkymoo]

Hi, I thought I'd post a few photos of our update for our Glass Cockpit trainers. I received plenty of help in 2007 from the people on these forums when we set up our classroom of sims. We were using XP and FSX and Level D 767 but are now switching to WIN 8.1 and P3D V2 and the PMDG 737. Still using 2D panels on 4 touch screens and 2 regular Dell 22". Our problem in the past was FSX's limitation on only having 4 screens for multi screen and needing to use touch. We had to use horizontal span adn non native resolution.

We are using 2 nVidia 970 slimlines compared to our previous system of 3 nVidia 8800 GTS.

One who maybe able to help you out is SeanG , Send him a PM , ex-RNZAF boy and is a lead in design PAC simulation 737s regard the electronics and the adding off maybe extra monitors and the bits and pieces.

Well, all installed well so far. P3D running well across all monitors and touch screens working in native resolution.

However, PMDG 737 won't work. It's looking for an FSX file so won't install. They guys are looking for answers on line but 3rd party add ons for a program that used to be FSX was bound to provide issues.

This is an area out my league as I only run FSX and on a 28" monitor .. sure someone has been twiddling with there PMGD to work in P3D.

All good.I think I know what the PMDG problem could be. Anyone have experience buying the wrong PMDG product (FSX instead of P3D...?)

I don't think PMDG has a return policy, you have to go through their site and see what they have put in regard to sales.
