It really depends on your GPU. I have a PC for Prosim that had 2 gpus each with 4 inputs. I use converters where i need to.

I think to help you, we are going to need a little more information, like, what avionics software, what GPU in the computer ext....

And what software will you be running? A splitter will not work unless you do not wish to control the FO's side independently from the captains.

At the moment, I can not make any recommendations for  73NG for Xplane as to the best of my knowledge there is none for cockpit building. Maybe someone else can step in here? But the discussion has been had here many times. I was switching over to Xplane at one point but ran into the no avionics issue myself. As for if you are only wanting to see the same screen on the FO side, I would use a video splitter.

Hi

I am not sure if I totally understand your situation, but if you are looking to interface opencockpits modules with X Plane 11 then you should take a look at the software OC4BA_XP_v1.2 which will do this job for you.

You can find it at:  www.flightsim4fun.com (http://www.flightsim4fun.com)

If this is not what you are looking for, sorry - I was just trying to help.

Regards

Alan

Sim-Avionics works withXP10.  However at this point my understanding is that there are some issues withXP11.
