I got this idea from another forum. I'd like to build a dedicated FS9 system using 3 screens side by side. Currently I am using a 21" Trinitron monitor and I'd like to mount a monitor in vertical either side. What card can I use that supports this and will still give me great video. I can't use rudder pedals as I'm para plegic. I want to use either the Thrustmaster cougar hotas or the Saitek X45, I'm looking for input on that. I'm sure you gurus will understand I just need value for money and don't want to overspend needlessly. Note the word overspend is included, as my wife is sure to say "how do we pay for groceries?"

Hi Logjam

The Matrox Parhelia 128Mb triple head will do what you want, the cheapest Ive seen it is about £190 on e-bay (uk) I use the Microsoft force feedback 2 (usb) it has twist action for rudder control, worth looking at. I hope this helps. Regards Chris

That is easy after you get your setup finished you can take people on virtual vacations!  Wink

This is a good question because I'm thinking of doing something similar.

How about the Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold? Its a very robust, value stick with twist. http://www.dxmarket.com/saitek/dir/1.html
