Not sure if you have all seen this thread. Apparently works for windows too ( jump to post #31 for that).

Could be an option to test the TV's visuals option before shelling out on additional 2 PCs

This is extremely interesting news, I'll definitely be trying it.  Wonder what the perf hit will be though.

OOhhhh.  Here I sit with a pile of new computer parts in front of me, three monitors, and a demo of XP10 on my NAS....  I'm headed on a trip early Sunday...  maybe it's worth the time to try this out.  I also have XP9 that I never loaded.  Maybe thats an option

Hmmm this is interesting... I'm days away from purchasing 2 PJs to complete a 3 projector setup and also seriously considering purchasing 2 more PCs so I can have 1 PC per projector. I will have to give this a shot first.

There is no free lunch Ken. My guess is that it will be a slide show but I would love to be wrong.

Isn't that what cockpit building is all about? The evidence over here is overwhelming  ;D

Based on my experiences with X-Plane so far his is not going to work or provide even marginally decent performance.     I have 5 i7s each running their own 1920x1080 screen each with a 45 deg fov.    Even with higher end processors, 8-16 gig of memory and video cards of GTX 560ti or GTX660ti with 2gb ram on them I am not able to push x-plane 10 up to its full potential especially once turning on HDR mode which really gives all the great lighting effects and such.     And add to that that I am running 64 bit...

X-Plane is the beast that FSX was when it first came out.  The hardware we have today is capable of running it at very very nice levels and I would say better looking than FSX still but to get X-planes full potential will require even faster speeds.    It is really positioned nice for today and tomorrows hardware.   But trying to get more than one view out of a single computer while possible would likely require HDR turned off and most sliders set way down thus giving a very undesirable experience.

I agree and that's why I haven't even tried it lol, but I will eventually do, just for S&Gs...

BTW, how easy/hard was it to configure the views with XP? In you case, was it as simple as just setting each's lateral view AND POV in increments of 45 degrees (-90, -45, 0, 45, 90)? Did you also need to mess around with the zoom settings?

Just wondering if in my case, I just need to set them as -75, 0, 75, since I will have only 3 displays to cover the 225 degrees of view.

Thanks for any heads up on this.

Very Easy.
All the angles and FOV settings are internal in XP. Even the networking...no need for WideVIew.

Yup, I saw that and have been able to easily see how easy the networking aspect of XP is when I configured some network gauges. It was a breeze.

What I really want to know is, how would I set up the client PCs for a 225 degree view. Just set the lateral views, POVs and away you go? How about zooming? Little details like that.

OK...There's no "zoom" in XPlane. Instead you widen the FOV (lateral) and adjust
your camera angle on each client until you reach your desired total FOV...200, 225, or greater.
