Default So...What did Santa Bring you?

Okay, now that creep has set in, I'll ask about the new flight
simulator: Can you drive three monitors, one forward, and two more,
one for each side?


Oh yeah. You can actually do up to SEVEN monitors!

I've got two monitors -- one dedicated to the instrument/radio panel,
plus one giant projection screen for "The World" -- but we've tossed
around the idea of adding "side window" monitors...

Flight Sim is just like real flying -- the spending never stops! :-)

Back on topic, Santa gave me an max takeoff weight upgrade for my
homebuilt. 5 pounds of aluminum strategicly placed adds 130 pounds to
the max takeoff weight. A great trade-off in my opinion.


Wow! That must be a pretty stratigically-placed 5 pounds?
