How to Send Cockpit data to my Laptop

[Warhog]

I have had a quick glance at Helios and Hawgtouch for exporting cockpit data as in gauges and MFD's to a second screen on the same PC. I would really like to try that but my screens are already spoken for. There is no more room and I can't add another screen as my graphics card is maxed out.:(

 

Is it possible to export those same gauges and such to my laptop on my WIFI network. Actually I could hard wire the laptop instead of using wireless if that would help speed things up or remove any potential latency.

 

One more question. Is there any big difference between Hawgtouch and Helios. They look to do about the same thing. Is there a preference on which one to use based on what I would like to do.

Haven't tried myself, but I think it is possible. See these instructions:

...Is it possible to export those same gauges and such to my laptop on my WIFI network...

Once in the past I used software which made it possible to use notebook-screen as 2nd "local" PC screen. I think it was called "maxivista" or something similar. It worked on client-server model, some kind of network connection between PC and laptop was necessary (wifi or lan). For PC it was like 2nd screen with all pros and cons. But I do not know if it is still actively developed...

If recall another thread correctly then you won't be able to export the screens of the MFCD's. Export of viewport is not possible to the best of my knowledge.

That is correct, mfcd,rwr, cmsc and other view ports are not exportable over network. Consider adding another vidcard to your PC.
