splitscreen flight sim...
i've been looking around for a cheap windows laptop to monitor the new engine management system on the bus...
should be a giggle, enough to keep me out of trouble anyhow.
if i run a serial extension cable from the main ECU in the engine bay up into the cab i can drive along with a laptop on the passenger seat twiddling with the engine controls - just like in 'fast and the furious' - great ;)
along with all the mapping info and controls there is a realtime readout mode that looks like a flight sim control panel...
how cool is that ? it even does something useful too!
all in need in the bus now is heating....
