Ed's short answer about the referenced product is correct. I'll offer a longer answer that maybe contains a little more hope for you. There are several Arduino models (the Leonardo, for example) that can run the well-known ArduinoJoystickLibrary (https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary...

... It seems to me that if I am getting great frame rates on one monitor, my problem is not the CPU but rendering. ... That's an invalid conclusion, especially if you're placing undocked windows on the other two monitors. The CPU has to do a significant amount of additional work to drive those extr...

See http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html -- the utilities there will correct most of the issues you're seeing.

If I recall correctly, you can use the so-called "multichannel" feature that's in Prepar3d Professional Plus to network one or more clients, and I believe that the clients (when running with MC enabled, a command-line option) don't require any additional licenses. You may have to take a co...

It's a pretty healthy-sized download for the full installation package -- about 12 GB.

A GTX 970 is still a decent card (it's the predecessor to the current GTX 1070). If your monitor only supports FreeSync, though, you might want to consider an AMD Radeon card if/when you upgrade. FreeSync (AMD) and GSync (Nvidia) are pretty much the same feature, but aren't cross-compatible.

The term "CPU-bound" means that the CPU is the element of your system that is preventing any further improvement in performance of the simulation (or more in general, of whatever task you're trying to do). Adding more memory, a faster graphics card, a bigger/faster disk won't help. Finding...

In my opinion, your PC is fine. Your GPU is a bit dated now, but the application will run. You will not be able to max out our graphics settings, but with some fiddling you should get acceptable performance.

You're comparing apples and oranges. A GPU's memory is completely unrelated to the CPU's memory and is used for totally different things.

You will eventually want a LOT more than 8GB of memory in your simulator PC and yes, it will make a difference.

This is really a question that should be posed to the REX Simulations support forum. That link is https://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/forums/

It looks like a fine monitor to me. Be aware, though, that FreeSync and Gsync are different "products" though they do the same thing. FreeSync is AMD/Radeon, GSync is Nvidia and they don't cross over. That LG monitor will work fine with an Nvidia card, but the FreeSync feature won't work. ...

I'd encourage you to go with the GTX 1070 card (and there is pretty much no point at all in buying the 1080 Ti card right now -- it's massive overkill).

You might experiment with WideTraffic from the http://www.wideview.it/wideview.htm site. It's separate from the Wideview plug-in and it will synchronize road traffic in a networked setup (I know that for sure; I use it). It also is designed to synchronize AI airplane traffic, though, and I'm not sur...

Hi Mark, So you are suggesting that P3D can reside on your C: drive in Windows 10? Are there no potential problems any longer with installing apps to this drive? It's on my C: drive, but not in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder. That's been the issue with P3D and many of the add-on applications for...

Just curious, how is Wideview working for you right now? I was never able to get it working properly and I'm also looking at the Pro Plus version to do a Multi Channel setup. Wideview is old and (as far as anyone can tell) completely unsupported now. A current option for networked simming (beside P...
