Hi Gents,

If I were to install multi screens as indicated on the Aerowinx Home screen, can someone tell
me how I could set that up and what hardware requirements there are ???
Also wanting to network 2 pc's to run P3D for visuals.
Really aiming not to move any panels around but only the mouse cursor from screen to screen.

Kind regards , Rick Melcher

Hi   richy
not an expert, but gonna give it  a go.
it depends on your setup, this is what I have and how I done it.
1 laptop running 3 external screens , 1920x1080 resolution.
2 screens used for PSX layout, 1 screen for instructor station and switching between Active Sky Next, EFB, RealTraffic, PSXseeconTraffic. VisualPSX and whatever is running in the background.
I am running 1 instance of PSX
Laptop is  I7 @2.4GHz. 8gig ram. GPU GTX 780 M
P3D machine is desktop I7 16 gig ram running @ 4.3GHz GPU Nvidea 670 GTX.
both of them  in a  wireless network, and both of them connected  with cable  for local  network
all connections between PSX and P3D and  addons go true this local network .
If you want to run PSX on 2 screens like I do , this is how I done it.
start PSX, go to Preferences/ basics , tick "allow window stretching across multiple monitors.
tick "show title, border and buttons of flight deck frame.
stretch your layout to  cover your 2 monitors, go to  layout/ save and give it a name, let us say  TEST, save it and confirm. this is now TEST.9pack
Now go to Situation, click on save, give it a name, again TEST, save and confirm, this is now TEST.situ
next step go to preferences /basics, in the  "start with situation box" enter TEST.situ
in the  "start with layout  box" enter TEST.9 pack
go to situation and save and confirm TEST.situ again.
Now each time you start  your layout will be over  2 monitors.
For your mouse and keyboard to work on both pc's with only  1 mouse and keyboard I use mouse without borders, Google it , very  nice to  use, from the moment your mouse moves from pc1 to pc2, your keyboard controls pc2 and vice versa.
hope this helps.
