Hello all, I would like to set up a networked slave in the normal manner, however I only want it to display some instruments on a panel of my design in an osg view. For this I would like to use an Intel atom board which is a pretty feeble MB but suits because its small, and low power use. These

Hi Anders, thanks for the response. Well I am a hardware man, absolutely no programmer, but I have managed some C in microchip pic for my sim hardware (mostly modified scraped avionics and panels) and written up a IO driver for it in FG, so for me, starting from scratch is not an option, I do

Hello all, Hi! Firstly has someone done this before? More or less - yes. I use a simple PC for driving two monitors with 2d panels fed by a separate FlightGear computer running the FDM et. al. The general description is here:
