Hog Drivers,


Anyone find a realtively easy way to display the MFDs on a second monitor?

Thanks.

Is it weird, that I'm a tank crewman and Armor Officer by trade but yet my favorite sim involves killing tanks in mass? Sadistic perhaps?

Its not that crazy hard. First you need the extra monitor (obviously), the MFD's and a video card that can has multiple outputs. There is fairly decent guide here that can run you through the process: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815

With that guide and the help of a squad buddy I was able to set up HELIOS and export my MFCD/RWR displays (see my thread): http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=77961&page=4

Scroll down to see end result!

EDIT: Are you using the Hog to take out American tanks? Now that would be sadistic!

Be careful...this path you follow starts here:


and will continue here..it will deplete your resources and people you love will look at you strangely

That would be the awesome Airdog that helped me get my set-up going! He has the multi monitor set-up that screams:
