Cessna 172 Flight Simulator
This site shows the progress I make in building my own Flight Simulator. The simulator should eventualy simulate flying a Cessna 172 as real as possible. Meanwhile I use the simulator as a flight training device to train for my private pilot license course.

Multiple outside views using Wideview
After having setup the network it is time to use the four screens with FS2002. To do this u can use software called WideView. It doesn't look like much at the moment in my setup but I know that the possibilities are unlimited.

Two new PC's to setup a network
Bought myselfs two new PC's to setup a network under XP. I need the second PC to power another two outside views. This way I should get three outside views (front and both sides 45 degrees) on three monitors. This gives a nice look around feeling. It is also a must when using the sim for flight training purposes because you need a view on the runway when your are flying downwind for example.

Undocking the instrument panel to another screen
On route to building a Cessna 172 flight simulator I started playing arround with my new graphics card which can handle two screens. Ofcourse undocking the instrument panel was the first exciting thing to try out. It already makes a huge difference to have one large screen for outer view only.
