power supplies and computers needed to run a cockpit

[Infinity]

so using 1 triplehead2go and two graphic cards, I will get three outside views, 3 cockpit screens, and still have room for an extra monitor to be used as a setup, control screen (similiar to a laptop station)?

No you can't have a seventh 2 cards 4 outs 1 for triplehead2go (3 monitors) leaves 3 outs.

if you can see on my picture I will not be putting in a real gear lever which enables me to have a monitor covering the centre and one of the FO. As my sim is a 3/4 I don't need the last FO screen. 2 triplehead2go and 2 graphic cards would give 8 monitors which is what you would need for a full size twin seat sim. although there is an ATI card that has 6 outs.

Ah, thanks. So tripledhead2go has the ability to display separate cockpit screens too, not just scenery? Just making sure. Appreciate your help.

Mr. Hoot, one last question and I apologize for sounding lost in the head, but are you using the latest PMDG737ngx software. I ask only because I can't find where it speaks about the setup we are talking about.

I'm not sure what you mean? "I can't find where it speaks about the setup we are talking about."

Sorry, what I meant by that was just having the pfd, mfd, and eicas (efis) screens up such as in your cockpit. Not the virtual cockpit views. I don't see where this subject is addressed on the pmdg website so I didn't know if you were using an older version or something.

I don't think it is in the manual but it is very easy.
1 all the screens are in the pull down menu "new instrument view", open all the ones you want, right mouse button and undock
2. resize and move to fit your mip, save this as a flight and or save panel state on the pmdg FMC.. run all your other software ie flight illusion, IVAO, Active Sky etc. when fully ready I do a "ALT + ENTER" to go fullscreen mode and hey presto all the ND PFD etc. are looking cool... hope this helps
