    Thanks in Advance and have a good day.

    ok, what are your intentions? use it as a second display for dash data? What ideas did you have in mind?
    I take it you are running simtools one the same PC as the game now, so you probably could not network Simtools to the second PC for an Ard dash or something.
    Maybe use a Takatec display on the 2nd pc, but again, not sure how you would network it up to get it to read the data from the gaming PC, although dash displays dont usually require much set up.

    Yeah it's a great piece of software.
    This is what it says on their website:

    "
    Z1 Server:
    Learn More...
    Broadcast your sim's data to any computer on your network.

    • Use Laptops or Desktops as additional monitors
    • Allow coaches/friends to view your data on their computers
    • Run the Z1 Dashboard on any computer, not just the one running the sim.
    • Broadcasts joystick inputs"

    It looks like it will run over a network.
