So...What did Santa Bring you?

Okay, now that creep has set in, I'll ask about the new flight
simulator: Can you drive three monitors, one forward, and two more,
one for each side? The one thing I don't like about sim flying is that
I can't just turn my head and see when to turn base. I've got the hat
thingy on my joystick, but it is not natural to use. I'd like to just
turn my head and see the side view.

Back on topic, Santa gave me an max takeoff weight upgrade for my
homebuilt. 5 pounds of aluminum strategicly placed adds 130 pounds to
the max takeoff weight. A great trade-off in my opinion.

This isn't bad at all, running two monitors and with the realism set to
high, but it's a far cry from the butter-smooth 55 FPS I was getting on
FS9.

Oh yeah. You can actually do up to SEVEN monitors!

I've got two monitors -- one dedicated to the instrument/radio panel,
plus one giant projection screen for "The World" -- but we've tossed
around the idea of adding "side window" monitors...

Flight Sim is just like real flying -- the spending never stops! :-)

Wow! That must be a pretty stratigically-placed 5 pounds?
