Elite simulations products support multimonitor, but are a little pricey.
However, their flight models seem several orders of magnitude better than Microsofts and I think the price is worth it. I now use Elite for IFR and FS9 for VFR.

Not having used FS2004 yet, I can't say whether FS2004 is better integrated or not, but you should be able to use three monitors with FS2002, as well as even earlier versions. In any case, you asked about cost of the simulators, and even new, FS2004 is well under your $200 price point. Pete |

I now use Elite for IFR and FS9 for VFR. Well, therein lies the rub. Elite is strictly for IFR training. It's not all that useful if what you want is VFR flight simulation. For the price, it damn well better have superior flight models. ![]() |

LoL. I'm in the strange situation, thanks to a property purchase whereby I
can nolonger afford to fly, so I use Elite as my IFR trainer and FS9 as a substitute for real flying as the chances of me getting behind a real cockpit over the next two years is zip. Elite does provide an awesome amount of feedback on your flights. I'm currently running through their IFR course and it is very good. It is possible to do some limited VFR in Elite, but you need extra scenery addons for more money! "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Robert Pollard" wrote in message ...
