Multi-Screen / Multi PC
« on: April 28, 2008, 02:36:15 AM »
I'm posting here, but if this is the inappropriate location please move to the correct one. 

I have several PC's around the house capable of playing AH.  It would be nice to be able to use them to join myself and have multiple monitor views.  I think that it could be accomplished using a 'Join-From-LAN' feature that only allows the views to be set (with the joined pc's communicating only with the PC that is connected to HTC.).  The joined computers should only have the ability to view from the cockpit, not move or use any gun positions, or communicate over text/vox.  Basically they would only be a way of adding multiple monitor support to the game.

The fight is the fun........Don't run from the fun!

Nobody is replying because it's just stupid. 

Hey why not also allow the F3 (external) view for fighters while they are at it? 

Look, I have trouble checking my 6 too, but I don't cry about it and need technology to save me.

What I was referring to was that you could have a panoramic view out the front of the plane.  Obviously I wasn't clear or you would have understood...

No, you were quite clear in your wish request.  It's just that LLogan is a complete idiot.

Multi-monitor support would be cool, especially since most video cards are capable of using multi-monitors.  But alas, like true wide screen support, I don't think we'll ever see it in AH.

Personally, if I could afford multiple monitors, I'd be all in for it. Wait, I am anyways  :lol

Lets have HTC work on some cooler things besides updating planes and CT.  :aok
