FlightGear has some very powerful functions which are (IMHO) quite disregarded yet: distributing the property tree via LAN (local area network). Thinking long about this feature I finally came to the conclusion to interconnect several computers in my LAN to react like one single FlightGear system. | [[FlightGear]] has some very powerful functions which are (IMHO) quite disregarded yet: distributing the [[property tree]] via LAN (local area network).

Install FlightGear just like you would do on any other system. Make sure to have the corresponding FlightGear data folder and some [[Howto: Install scenery|scenery data]] if you are not flying on-line using [[TerraSync]], what I strongly suggest to do. | [[New to FlightGear#Getting FlightGear|Install FlightGear]] just like you would do on any other system.

Now it's time to bring up your "leader". On the [[Command line options|command line]] add the following two IO options to provide your [[FDM]] and your controls input to the first slave computer (assuming IP 192.168.1.11) Slave computers will be discussed in the next chapter: | Now it's time to bring up your "leader".

* Until now I was only able to use the 2D panel of the default aircraft Cessna 172 independent of what aircraft I start with. In times of 3D cockpits it seems not very easy to find fresh 2D panels. | * Until now I was only able to use the 2D panel of the default aircraft Cessna 172 independent of what aircraft I start with.
