Hi,
There is software available that will network your laptop and your Flight sim will see it as an extra screen. It works by wireless or wired ethernet.

I have used the demo before but cannot find the name of it right now. I'll repost if I can find it. The demo worked really well.

It is similar to this I think but this is only for mac: http://creativebits.org/add_an_extra...screenrecycler

Hopefully I can find the right one later,
Regards,
Martin.

You can download a small demo and see if it is suitable:

Thank you Martin, but what i need is to convert the LCD screen wich I will remove frommy laptop, in a regular LCD monitor like others I eady have. I gues that wire and VGA connector should be the solution. Identify and weld procedure!!!

check that out. You send them your laptop screen, they write a bios for it, load it up onto their boards and thats it. I tried to inquire about how much it would cost, and turn-around time, but after about 3 emails back and forth they kinda got snoody with me and never answered back. But the product looks awesome!

P.S. - also look at their MP4 players, media server the size of an IPod for under $100!!
