Matrox Parheilia and FS2004

Mmm

Interesting.

Can you put the instruments on just the center screen or do you end up with
a stretched instrument panel?

Ha Great News, I haven't got my copy of FS2004 yet so am delighted to hear
this. Can you undock windows and place where you like? Restretch the 2D
panel etc like in FS2002?

You can put the cockpit on two screens if you want ...or even narrow it to the
center monitor

Cool

By a happy coincidence my employer needs me to start using a Parhelia card.
Time to upgrade.

That is good news, cos did not read Father Bill yesterday saying that he
could not undock win dows in FS2004 when in full screen mode? I thought it
sounded a bit strange, but wd like confirmation, because without undocking
there is not much point in having multiple monitors.

Seconded, I'd like to know how other people are getting on with this. Based
on Bill's report (and some other grumbles I've been seeing in regard to
performance issues when compared with FS2K2) I cancelled my order for FS2K4,
the undock issue being the show-stopper for me. If it turns out that it's
card specific I might decide to get it and give it a go after all.

Yes it is serious, but I would not go so far as to cancel my order! I am too
curious to have a look at it. I pick up my updated PC this afternoon, I
hope, in time for my FS9 to arrive in the UK post tomorrow!
I should have a 2.6Ghz chip, new motherboard and 1024 Mb RAM. The Parhelia,
I have had for a good while now. Natch I will report back here when I have
trried it all out.

I'm curious about it but not that curious. There's stuff in FS2K4 that does
sound worth having and so I'd decided that I'd go for it anyone and, if it
didn't perform too well, start thinking about which bits of my system could
do with a bump up. But, given some of the less positive reports I've seen so
far the reports that undocking doesn't work anywhere like how it used to
means that I'm not more than happy to cancel the order and "wait and see".

I should have a 2.6Ghz chip, new motherboard and 1024 Mb RAM. The
Parhelia, I have had for a good while now.

I can imagine that it'll perform ok on that setup.

Natch I will report back here

I'd be interested to hear how the undocking things works for you. Personally
I'm running a Matrix G550, which isn't *that* well suited to this sort of
thing but works well enough with FS2K2 for my needs.

I dont understand. Undocking windows is same in this as in FS98, FS2000,
or FS2002. However, now higher resolutions are supported for triple
monitor configurations. Who is complaining about undocking problems?

in URL:news:alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim
contains the initial report. It seems the poster found that, in full screen
mode on his primary display, he was unable to undock things like the radio
stack or the GPS or whatever and drag them to his secondary display. It
seems unclear at the moment if this is a general issue or an issue specific
to the poster's setup.

It seems that this issue happens to many persons using FS04.
I would like to know what are the FPS using the Parhelia card. I'm thinking
on buying it for my home simulator and I really would like to know how it's
performing.

I'm sure the all-knowing Rover will figure it out, though, eh?

I see that you're desperate to get my approval. Ok, how about you provide me
with a working email address for you? Or do you have to have your approval
in public?

.. o O ( Last word? The irony is too much. )
