Hi All,

First off, I really think Prepar3D is much, much smoother then FSX..
I have an own build home cockpit, BUT its more build on performance then on being a real cockpit.. Just some Saitek stuff etc, but my pc's are pretty good with SSD's and OC'd to 4,4ghz.
Anyways I bought Prepar3d because I'm studying PPL and it just needs to be smoother.. The Matrox makes the left and right screen in the turns just with too much stutters..
And Prepar3D on the first go, without CFG tweeking was very, very smooth! so +1!

But..

Multichannel is kicking my behind.. I cannot get it working.. And to be honest I am a noob I think..
So apoligizing upfront for what is going to be a couple of very stupid questions.
My setup which I want to recreate:
The master that runs all the addons for traffic, VOXATC etc.. it has one screen and showing the VC and nothing else.. Second PC is the Matrox with VC outside view. ( kept the VC as winddrift will show with the nosetip)
Is this still possible? Master showing virtual Cockpit with the cockpit and then run second on outside VC?

Deleted and adjusted from the original post on this forum:
** I was not able to get it working in the network.. And didn't know what to expect on how it would work.. The CFG files and the commandlines were added like described in the LearningCentre..**

My first SimIG file.
The SimIG.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="1,0" id="SimIG">
<Filename>SimIG.xml</Filename>

<SimIG.MasterView>
<ViewOriginID>1</ViewOriginID>
<VerticalFOV>90</VerticalFOV>
<HorizontalFOV>90</HorizontalFOV>
</SimIG.MasterView>

<SimIG.SlaveSetup>
<NamePrefix>FLIGHTSIM-PC</NamePrefix>
<ViewOriginID>1</ViewOriginID>
<GridSpan>3,1</GridSpan>
<SpanType>EQUAL_ANGLE</SpanType>
</SimIG.SlaveSetup>

</SimBase.Document>

Sorry again for the loveletter size..

Cheers and thanks upfront,

Walther!

Another update.
Maybe this should be in another forum (or deleted) on the other hand, I have done a lot with FSX and I thought that this was hard even when reading the forum on Multi-Channel. The LearningCentre doesnt describe the "Noobs" on how to do it in full ,like adding the Network.cfg lines also in the main Prepar3D.cfg.

This is what my .xml looksl ike now.. My FPS was up to about 60fps on the master and 40fps on the Slave..
But still stutters on the left and right screens and not on the middle. Weird because with less fps and as standalone no stutters whatsoever..
I had the Master at 45 vert & Hor, but changed it to 30 and now 33, and the fps dropped to about 19fps with more stutters..
Changed it back to the 45, but frames remained at 19-20fps with some more stutters..
So still a lot of tweeking to do..

Try setting the Monitor refresh rate to 60Hz, and locking P3D's Frame rate to 30 FPS ( ie exactly 1/2 the Monitor update rate)

Found the issue with MyTraffic, Wideview and Widetraffic.. Easy to adjust DLL.xml etc..

Going to invest in my pc's again.. Also buying the new gtx 680. My current GTX470 is fully a 100% utilized, even when OC'd to 750mhz. So there might be something there.. Will then try multichannel again, but so far it is no match for Wideview. Hope somebody will tell me something different..
