visualpsx and windows/mac interoperability question

[Balt]

Hi all,

I have an OS X based PSX setup, but am in need of a visual system. I was thinking of getting Prepare3D running on a windows box, I have a leftover GPU render engine with a GTX590 and 780 in it, that should produce some nice graphics with a few projectors attached.

How would I need to set this up? Would the windows box with P3D have to be the main PS X server as well, or would it be happy to be a slave that connects to the main server run on OS X?

Cheers

No it does not need a server (or client) as well. Prepar3D can be connected to the PSX main server at OS X via VisualPSX running in the windows box as well.

Hi,

You configure VisualPSX by telling it the IP address of the PSX main/boost server. You could connect it to a server over the internet if you wanted, but it is not advised due to bandwidth issues.  

Windows system:

* P3D
* VisualPSX (pointing to Mac IP address)

Mac:

* PSX itself (running as main/boost servers)

Excellent, thanks for the info! Much easier than I thought then.

Does anyone have some P3D screenshots, perhaps in comparison with FSX and Xplane?

Also, is the weather depiction linked to what PSX sees on its WXR? Ie possible to avoid an isolated CB both visually and on WXR?
