1. I have seen those ads which allow you to run 3 monitors off some graphics cards. Does this put more of a strain on FS2002, or is it rendering all views all the time anyway - if you know what I mean.

2. Is there some easy way of telling whether an aircraft is GMAX created, and do these perform any better in terms of FPS?

3. As per 2 for scenery - some scenery really hits FPS, yet others just as complex seem not to affect FPS too much.

TIA

Dave.

Re Q1
If it is the Matrox Parhelia card you are referring to, I believe it is only a single front view that is used. The angle is widened by using the minus key and then this view is stretched across the three monitors. I would therefore assume the frame rate hit is minimal as only one view is being processed.
I too am very keen to read any reports from users of the card.
