Albert, sorry to say, but MFD's are definately not possible with F4.
Unless you grab them from the screen (with a video camera or something),
you won't have a possibility for external MFD's. Sorry.

Erwin,
Robert, Martin and other F4 share memory experts.&nbsp;I
was flying tonight using Panther's beta cockpit which resemble very much
like Xis' pit. It has a down down view where it only shows 2 LARGE MFDs
with a small upfront view above, RWR, and DED info. By clicking to the
right or left of that view, the player can enter into a Tactical reference
section or Runway tucan info pages. If you dont know what I am talking
about. let me know I will email u a screenshot.&nbsp;I
was flying with the Mavericks, and looking through the camera view in my
right MFD when all of the sudden, it strikes me that...hey...this feels
very similar to the actual MFD size!!! So I got the ruler out and took
one of my front dash panel with the MFD cut out to see if I was right.
Unfortunately, the MFD on my screen is slightly bigger. However, would
f4 glass or F4 instrucment allow the possiblity of extracting raw 2D cockpit
data out into a client machine which inturns render the view?&nbsp;This
way, we can have ourselve some MFDs in the cockpit?&nbsp;Just
an idea...I am not expert at this stuff, but really would like to see MFD
support for the cockpit.&nbsp;Cheers,&nbsp;
