  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

ok, what im after is ,, i have a 32" monitor that is a $900 waste of money to be honest. It has a pole its mounted on, with its own power in a battery down in the big foot thing. it wont hold a charge though, so it has to be plugged in all the time. ok that was a waste of your time, but i want to move things like the moving map, thats the main one, but in fs2020. what else could be added to that monitor.. i really dont want gauges or anything to do with engine management, i like to only fly from the cockpit, so if ya follow that.. what would you guys n girls recommend i use over on the side?
 
Any electronic gauge can be copied to an external window, so you can still fly from the VC while having a backup you can glance at. Mouse over the gauge, then press the right Alt (I think) button. The cursor should turn into a zoom icon. When you click that, a separate window will open with the gauge. Be aware that it will only be the glass, not the bezel or any other "physical" controls. It gets more convenient if the glass is "touch" sensitive - you can use the mouse to interact with the external window the same way you do inside the VC.
 
I don't see why not - if you can click a mouse on it, then it should also respond to a finger or stylus.
