thanks for the information. I can see situations where I would prefer a Chromium solution (since then the settings would be easier), but FlightGear's support for multiple computers and multiple cameras is impressive. As a test, I managed to run FlightGear in a 2x3 display wall. One of the rows shows the view from the cockpit, while the other row shows views of the plane from outside at different angles (better explained with an image: http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com/2010/04/flightgear-in-testing-2x3-display-wall_30.html ). This was pretty easy to set up, although I didn't bother to align the monitors or the cameras very carefully. (This is running in 3 PCs. Each PC controls two monitors, one column, with NVidia drivers and Twinview). Now the difficult part will be to convince management that FlightGear is something important for my work! :-) Cheers, Ángel de Vicente -- +---------------------------------------------+ | | | http://www.iac.es/galeria/angelv/ | | | | High Performance Computing Support PostDoc | | Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias | | | +---------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-users
