I downloaded it and was able to get one monitor view with the mfcd, but when trying to monitors it got all screwed up. I will try some more trial and error before i cry for help.

i down loaded the dummies guide i will put that word to test

The day is here ! I have added a 4th LCD monitor to my "pit in progress". I have seen all the you tube videos of people with their MFDs displayed on separate monitors and I exited to be part of the club. I have been browsing the forums and seeing lots of posts that refer to the "lua" files and the "Helios" program. I have downloaded Helios and a few of the user made templates to hopefully implement. I have some pc skills but am not a code writer I know how to edit a notepad file, and try to back up original files before I start mucking about. With all of that said what kind of timeframe am I looking at in getting this working ? I have an eyefinity set up that I got working pretty easily and added an hd6600 for the 4th monitor. The monitor is already mounted and functioning and I placed the MFD on the screen.

Vesa mounting is a good point. That makes it easier to mount in the pit, and make modifications. The Samsung 19 " I plan on putting in as my control panel will be Mounted with this, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W0ETD2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00 Eventually I will mount a 22 inch touchscreen in its place.

thanks Hawk. I have to hold off on the touch screen for a few months but I do have a 19 LCD I plan on using with Helios "non touch". I will use my thrustmaster mfd panels and affix them to the monitor.

Helios has peaked my interests in adding a 4th monitor for instrument display and controls. I particular like a set up I saw on YouTube using the HUD view with eyefinity and all the instruments and controls were on a single touchscreen. I want this! Any suggestions for a 22 inch (max size) monitor? Also I realize the requirement of a 2nd graphics card any suggestions for that too would be helpful. It appears there are templates already posted on SCS simulations web site Yay!

That sounds attainable, I think I will start with the UFC.

Looking at being as keyboard free as possible in my pit. I plan on either building some switch boxes with a my leobodnar board or buying some ch pro multi function panels. does anyone have a total number of buttons required to have a fully functioning pit? I already have a tm warthog and tm mfp along with track ir so that frees up a lot of key commands.

Patience is not a virtue. 7870 are 550 dollars here vs 300 dollars for 6950.

I decided to go with a Diamond HD 6950 2gb I will post the teaming specs when I meet with my builder.

I went with a diamond hd6950 2gb paid 300. I figured it was the way to go because locally and on the internet they seem to have disappeared over the weekend.

560ti is out need eyefinity

I plan on ordering tonight either the 2gb hd6970 or the 6870 2gb. The 6970 is almost double the price so I am leaning towards the 6870. I currently use 3 19 LCD matched monitors in eyefinity mode my resolution is at 3840 x 1024 which is relatively tame these days. Running off an hd5850. I am trading my old system to a full upgrade with a 2500k CPU and 16 gigs of ram. the plan is to add a 4th LCD or 2 USB small ones for mfd in the future. what are your results 6870 users.

update to the upgrade Here is where I am at CPU 2500k, Ram at 16gig, video card 2gb 6870. I told my builder that I need a minimum of 10 usb ports on the motherboard that should get me in decent fps with the ability to go to a fourth monitor in future. The only thing I have to buy outright is the video card so any suggestions?

think its a corsair 700 watt. What about a 6870 card wanted a 6970 but they are discontinued.
