UDPSpeed on a second monitor?

[OverDhill]

Has anyone been using UDPSpeed on a second monitor now that the CPU and GPU performance have increased a lot in that past couple years?

Currently I am using it on a networked PC but am looking at downsizing to a single fast PC to do both.

Another reason is that Cliffs of Dover has a VirtualCockpit (VC) that will display gauges on a second PC that seems to be working well for others. It does not look like it works on a networked PC. Besides it is a pain to have to boot two computers to fly

There's one that runs on an iPad wirelessly... thats about as simple as it gets methinks..

It's not just performance that matters. It seems that some video cards (mine for instance) can't send OpenGL output (for the 1st monitor) and 'flat graphics' output (for the 2nd monitor) at the same time. It seems to work at the beginning, but the 2nd monitor is not properly refreshed. The image of the gauges turn to black squares.

Anyway, you should give it a try, maybe you're more lucky with your video card.

I've tried UDPSpeed and found it to not work, I suffered from the problem sniperton describes above, plus the dials wouldn't all fit on my 2nd monitor which is 900x1440 in portrait orientation. I have an ATI 5870 btw.

I really wish for IL2 1946 there was something like the CloD VirtualCockpit app because I tried that out and it was fantastic, just a shame that I rarely play CloD.

The most helpful gauge for me would be a trim indicator - I never know how much trim I've got on any of the planes (mainly because none of the planes I fly seem to have either working dials/wheels in the cockpit or they're not marked in any useful way) and it would be helpful so that I can learn that x amount of trim on the elevator gives me level flight in x condition or x amount on the rudder stops me veering left or right down the runway or puts the ball in the middle to stop slip.

I use UDPGraph as a visualisation tool for Devicelink, I don't actually use the graphing function but it can also display a simple list with the values you choose.

It's not a replacement for UDPSpeed(no gauges), but it works well for viewing exact values.

Well I have UDPSpeed running on a second monitor and seems to function fine. However I needed to add IPS=127.0.0.1 to the Devicelink section to get it to work online.
