I am new to using FlightGear and am currently working on a project
that involves a flight simulator with a Cessna cockpit and a screen
that is divided into 3 sections in sort of a wrap around(not fully,
but tilted to give a more panoramic view. Each board is displayed
using a different projector run by three separate computers. Also,
the cockpit controls are being read in as voltages to a separate
computer. I am completely new to flight simulation and this software,
and have some C++ software experience but never any software hardware
integration so I’m a little lost. My questions are is there a way to
display a simultaneous panoramic view using the three computers each
running an instance of FlightGear and if so, how?
OK, had an interrupt. To finish the topic...
If the separate computer has the prerequiste interface hardware you have
a couple of options:
1) Modify the FG source code to read and convert the voltage values into
control inputs and run that as the primary server displaying the center
screen and run the left and right as slaves as discussed in the README docs,
2) Connect the fourth machine with the control inputs via a LAN using
one of the socket protocol defined in the Network directory, or
3) Define your own protocol and socket code. The existing source
provides a fairly good template and structure to help you.
