    When I connect my motion platform to the game DCS World, all works well, however when I connect it to the game with Helios and EMC running, the motion will not work. If I were to use two computers (one for sims and the other for the game ,Helios, and EMC, would it all work? and also could I connect sims to another computer using a Crossover Cable instead of IP Address?

    Thank You

    So now I see that I can use a crossover cable. Does one still need to install as if I were using IP address? Also I am not sure but does the motion platform (Adruino and Moto monster boards) connect to the #2 computer (USB)? I think they do.

    Forgive me for posting this stupid question. If I would have looked a little harder I see that all my questions were asked and "answered". again, sorry for the inappropriate question.
