StrongHarm Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I had a few spare Surface Pro 3s laying around so I decided to see if I could port my shval and abris over to them. I ended up using TeamViewer (because of multiple simultaneous controlling connections), Helios, and Windows Magnifier. Just: - Set up your Helios on a secondary monitor - TeamView(free) in with each of your Surface Pros - Open Windows Magnifier on each SP3 and zoom in to the areas you want to use (landscape or portrait, doesn't matter) Enjoy touch capability on some very nice displays. Oh.. also, if you use the 'invert colors' capability within Magnifier the Shval looks like FLIR heh It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

chaos Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 If you have a few Surface 3's lying around... would you consider sending me one? My Surface Pro (original) needs a companion :-) Great idea... I'll be testing this once I get my new desktop sometime in Jan. "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
StrongHarm Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Yes, I ended up using a SP1 for the Abris.. it looks better. I found another nice feature where the SP3 serving up the Shval display can double as a kneeboard. I set OneNote up behind the Shval display.. when I want to take notes I alt+tab to bring OneNote in front of the Shval Display.. then I can write on the SP3 like a kneeboard. Then just alt+tab back to DCS.

chaos Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Very happy with the Surface. The stylus is very handy and OneNote is the ultimate note-taking tool. But... Chivas...? Really? Jameson all the way, mate! :-) "It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
blackbelter Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I too have a windows 8.1 hybrid device. Might try it. thanks for info.

Oh.. also, if you use the 'invert colors' capability within Magnifier the Shval looks like FLIR heh Surface Pro 3 should be able to Run BlueStacks Fine, and you can just use the Android App :) Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
StrongHarm Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Now, that's a descent idea. What's the advantage of running the Android App?
