737 MIP - How to start

[mswift]

Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve the following:

FSX with PMDG 737 (maybe XPlane at some point in the future)
A full MIP (captain and FO)- 6 monitors
Flight view - 3 monitors
Opencockpits FMC - 1 VGA output

I would like to do this using multiple computers to share the load

What is the best way of achieving this setup?
Cheers
Mike

Hey,

If you really want to spread the load and use a multi-computer and monitor setup, skip PMDG and go for ProSim or Sim-A instead. Will remove a huge burden for you when it comes to setting things up.

PMDG is not built for multi-system and even if you use a blend of all the tools available, the setup is not worth the time. Trust me I have tried it and only to get the PFD to work on a second monitor was a nightmare and then you need to consider the extra load it will create on your machine.

If you then add that you might end up with a mix of various hardware vendors for your MIP, the full suite approach is the only way to go if you ever want to be able to accomplish what you wrote.

Ditto..!

Both Prosim and SimAvionics (and good 'ol PM) have their own flight models (airplanes) and allow you to use a complete and very sophisticated systems logic and flight instruments.
