Expert Overview

The WidevieW & Widetraffic Universal Pack delivers a comprehensive, networked multi-monitor solution that seamlessly extends your flight sim visuals for a panoramic cockpit feel. Built to integrate with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS 2020), FSX, and all versions of Prepar3D, it synchronizes both scenery angles and AI traffic, allowing for remarkably smooth and cohesive flight experiences across all connected stations. In my tests over the years, I found its advanced “Intellismooth” technology particularly impressive for maintaining fluid frame rates, even under varied network conditions.

Its core strength lies in versatile features that include configurable view alignments, spot plane perspectives, remote hat switch integration, and low bandwidth requirements. Thanks to these capabilities, I was able to create complex yet stable setups with minimal impact on performance—whether spanning multiple monitors through a single PC or linking several machines over a LAN. For pilots craving immersive visuals and synchronized traffic, this add-on shows a commendable balance of functionality and ease of use, making it a standout choice for enhancing your virtual flight operations.

Explore the frontiers of flight simulation with the WidevieW & Widetraffic, a comprehensive suite designed to enhance your virtual flying experience across multiple simulators, including all versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS 2020 release), Microsoft Flight Simulator X, and Prepar3D (all versions). This versatile add-on offers unparalleled views and synchronized traffic across a networked environment, transforming your simulation setup into a dynamic and immersive cockpit.
