And let me tell you I like what I see, I'm using an HDMI cable and got the resolution set to 1920x1080.  Frame rates are ok, nothing to brag about but good enough.

My question for the experts is how can I get the most out of this set up?  Is there something I can do to have things look even better? I can tell you that the clouds at night look like crap.  Day time looks really nice though.

Any tips and tricks are welcome,

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Edit-Forgot to mention that my FS9 now crashes from time to time, I'm guessing it's due to an under powered video card it's only 320 mbs

Do you mean 320Mega byte persec, or the Power supply, Because an 8800GTS is not underpowered in FS2004 Wink

I agree witht he get a better card.  Im running an nVidia 8800GTX like Nick does.  Have an 8800GT in the second vid slot running my 24" Samsung FP monitor.

Main view on the TV, panels and such on the monitor.

The Samsung is also plugged into my 2.4 Celeron based desktop upon which the TV sits.  It is plugged in by way of the Analog connector.  My big PC is hooked up to the Samsung by way of the HDMI connector.  Monitor has a "Source" button.  I can multi-task while flying and bring up my panels at will.  It is a sweet setup.
