From a conversation I mentioned on Teamspeak lastnight with Reddog and Mainace.

Was wondering if this application would work http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=35

http://www.dual-boxing.com

I did use to dual box years ago with another ww2o account of mine in the navy but I left and played World of Warcraft. Thinking of Dual Boxing again and hope this application might be able to use two bombers in flight.

Features:
* One mouse/keyboard can control multiple computers without any additional hardware.
* Specifically designed to allow you to play 3D games that use the mouse for looking around.
* Ability to toggle "broadcasting" with a hotkey that will allow your keystrokes or mouse movements to be broadcast to all connected computers.
* Simple UI: Setting up monitor layout is very easy.
* Runs in the taskbar so it's out of the way.

Read up on that carefully. Lag between the multiple computers that has not been worked out. Hell, the programmer states he can't figure out the lag or what is causing it. This game takes enough power and chit anyway without adding lag. I'd test it out first before spending much time or money on another account.

Bulgar-

If you get to the point where you want to try it out without committing the to another account, you can PM me and I'll give you my 2nd acct login info to try it with. I haven't spawned Codshlpr in for awhile so he could use the exercise.

Flying two at once definitely makes the time go by on those long missions, lol.

Well i tried it lastnight with a second free 14 day account, the installation is flawless if you read the instructions properly and its a wonderful little tool, especially for those people dual boxing from two box up to 6 or 8 box in World of Warcraft or any other mmorpg.
Unfortunately this is not going to work with the air war unless I learn how to fly with mouse and keyboard.
The navy and ground war I can see it being fun, two destroyers, two churchill tanks etc. Both the aim of the guns and direction points in the same direction give or take a few degrees.

I have posted to see what support there is for Joysticks so awaiting for a reply.

I know we have regular meetings almost daily with 3 bombers plus, thought it would be cool to have more for the and fun factor in flying larger formations, also also whether it would work at all as I have dual boxxed in the past manually.
