I was looking into driving a stereo HMD thru FlightGear a while back (all theory - nothing practical yet). One idea I had was to produce the offset visuals using a dual-cpu system with 2 instances of FlightGear's 'out-the-window' engine running as if the cpus were 2 networked systems doing the same. The advantage (I presumed) would be that the video frames would be closer to being synced than if 2 seperate machines were used. Either 2 video cards or one very-high performance one running 1 display per framebuffer could be used. The FDM and everything else could be run a networked machine or you could maybe step up your main system to quad cpus and use the same 'locally-networked' trick.
