Thanks for the info. I should have clarified that I was wondering if how hard it would be to do it on one machine --of course the entire program is too processor intensive to run twice on one machine. Some simulator programs run multiple windows on low end machines, so it's doable in some cases.
It's not just a matter of saving the cost of the second machine (and we would have a lot of installations), its also a huge convenience and requires less support and hassle----especially to exhibit flightgear training devices at expos. I know a bit about opengl and flightgear but not enough(at this point) to pop in a multiple window module that provides another camera view without recomputing any flight data. At least not by myself--I will take it on as a hobby, if I can get a little competent guidance. At some point management here might wish to support the effort. But certainly I should know before I take it on---if there is any reason why it might not work well---given the current design or other factors. Adding another view may--- for all I know ---require an enormous increase in complexitiy to achieve the required efficiency. But it seems likely that a bad ass computer and video card setup would solve that the efficiency issue and that stuff is getting cheaper by the minute. thanks steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Buchanan Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 6:45 AM To: FlightGear developers discussions Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] multiple views on separate monitors? --- "Sexauer, Steve" wrote: > can you use multiple monitors and perhaps multiple video cards with > flightgear in windows or linux?

It's even documented in The Manual (http://www.flightgear.org/docs.html) here: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/getstart/node3.html#SECTION03340000000000 000000 -Stuart Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
