I have a vague recollection that I saw somewhere that it is possible to display the F5 display (and others) on a second monitor. Is this possible? If it is, can someone please explain to me how to do it!

Hi David,
Enable Web Server under "Options". Suggest leaving the assigned port 2150 unless you have a specific reason to change it.
Open a "DOS" Command Window on your PC and Type "ipconfig" - - - get the IP address of your PC.
Start Open Rails.
Open a web browser on your second monitor.
Type: [your IP Address]:2150
In my case I type: 192.168.254.10:2150
You should connect to the ORTS Web Server.

Scott

Hi David,
Oh - since your web browser is on the same PC as ORTS - you can skip the getting your IP - you can just use the local loopback interface which is the same on all PC's
You can use this address in your web browser: 127.0.0.1:2150
I use an iPad myself - a separate network device - so I need to use the IP Address of the PC.
