Traffic Expansion for MS Flight Simulator X/2004 DVD

Flight Simulator X: Traffic Expansion Pack brings the action of the airport to life on your PC! It features a unique new AI traffic approach management feature, designed to drastically reduce the number of go-arounds that are performed by AI planes at busy airports. Instruct approaching planes to perform holding patterns if they are following the plane in front too closely. If AI planes come too close, are heading in the same general direction and are within an altitude range that suggests you are both established on an approach path, then the AI planes will be instructed to perform holding patterns. Requires Flight Simulator X or Flight Simulator 2004 to play.

Three screens!!! I found some 3840x1024 wallpapers, the equivalent of 3 1280x1024 screens, which is the limit of the 3 Dell 1905FP 19" monitors I have here, as well as the output maximum of the Matrox TripleHead2Go, so everything's all matched up pretty well then, no? I thought so. Everything's at it's natural limit.

I've researched quite a bit, read things by Nvidia staff, and talked to hardcore gamers, hackers, professional programmers, and even those who program things like video drivers, and no one anywhere online or off seems to have a good solution for driving 3 displays with full hardware acceleration with 2 cards.

I couldn't find a card with 3 DVI outs, and with 2 dual-out cards, you can get hardware acceleration on 2 monitors, but the third will render in software, and you can't play a game across all 3. There are videos on YouTube of people playing everything from Quake to Microsoft Flight Sim on everything up to 24 monitors, maybe even more, but they're either custom hacking the software somehow, or using many PCs.

E.g. the video in which the guy uses 24 monitors also has him using 12 PCs networked together, and maybe some software hackage. The only option for me, without paying thousands and thousands of dollars, and greatly increasing my energy bill, and decreasing the space in my room was the Matrox TripleHead2Go, which simply tells the PC that it's a super-wide monitor, then takes that single, wide, hardware accelerated signal, and divvies it up to 3 monitors. I have 3-display hardware rendering now :)

Jennifer Stern, Geochemist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center leads a tour of the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory for undergraduate Chemistry and Biology students and professors from Truman State University, Kirksville, Mo. Very recently, TSU received a grant from the NASA-Missouri Space Grant Consortium that will fund a new multidisciplinary astrobiology research community. Students and Professors also toured Center’s Environmental & Engineering Test Facilities. The Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory is dedicated to the study of organic compounds derived from Stardust and future sample return missions, meteorites, lab simulations of Mars, interstellar, proto-planetary, and cometary ices and grains, and instrument development.
