[simpits-tech] Fairly cheap little monitor

Orbiter as a whole uses DirectX, just wondering how the external MFD 
program goes about things. Of course, it may be possible to write my own 
plugin for an unaccelerated MFD. The displays are never that complicated 
so it should be possible.

The latest version of Orbiter has de-coupled the graphics and simulation 
engines, so there is a new addon out there developing an OpenGL graphics 
end for it. Pretty neat stuff.

I'm hoping that this will lead to being able to have two separate 
displays with their cameras pointed in different directions with 
different fields of view. This has not been possible in Orbiter thus 
far, and will be a requirement to make a working periscope view for the 
Merc.

Eee + Lilyput monitor - now with 6 in^2 of viewing space! ;)

lol. Actually I have one of the larger Eee's, so the main monitor is 
like 10". Not massive, but big enough.
