Ronald Wiens 1044992 Posted January 24, 2008 at 07:48 PM Posted January 24, 2008 at 07:48 PM Just wondering if it is possible to run Squawkbox / Vatsim on a separate pc/monitor networked to the FS PC. I fly a full cockpit setup and would like to have this communication off of the main front FS view if possible. I have Project Magenta modules operating off of various pc's and was hoping to add a networked pc with Vatsim to an "Electronic Flightbag" setup if possible. Thanks for any help on this.

Ron, when you run the SB3 installer it will ask what option you require. In your case you need to run it once on the FS Box selecting the "this computer runs FS" and then once on the remote box choosing "this computer will run SB3" Great to see you making the leap into online flight.

Ronald Wiens 1044992 Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:19 PM Author Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:19 PM Hi Norm - good to hear from you. I'm still here, built a 737 cockpit and finally getting around to some serious flying. Does the "other pc" need to have FS up and running or just the one main FS? [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming then I would load Squawkbox on which pc first - the FS or the "other" one? Thanks for the quick response ....

Norman Blackburn Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:22 PM Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:22 PM Ron, Think of SB3 like you do the PM GC module - its an application that can run via WideFS so no need for FS on that box. The order isnt an issue although I have always done FS first and then remote. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Wiens 1044992 Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:28 PM Author Posted January 24, 2008 at 08:28 PM This is good news! I have an LCD monitor off the lower right in the cockpit that could run Squawkbox, Jeppeson and PM Quickmap. Hopefully these can all run together. If so all I need to do now is brush up on my ATC lingo - that should only take a couple weeks Thanks again. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
