We'd heard talk that Turn 10's Forza Motorsport 2 would support up to eight monitors, but Forza community manager and former game journo Che Chou told me that the Xbox 360 sequel would only work with five monitors and five tandem Xboxes.

This clip shows the much-more reasonable four monitor scenario, with a tiny Lilliput LCD screen taking on rearview mirror duties.

Still, sweet nonetheless

I've always had thought of something like this...this is COCAINE. Hey guys, can I borrow a few bucks?

Did anyone here ever try it (at home) with Forza for the Xbox?

It would be awesome if they logged and showed how many people actually ever tries this feature. I'm guessing you could count them all on one hand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Yes, I've done it a few times.

I did it on forza (the first one) on XBOX and even played on kai with it, I only have 3 xboxes (mine and the kids' lol)

I had a normal screen, a rear view screen, and the tv camera angle screen (which was awesome)
the tv angle screen looked so real it was like watchin me on TV racin in my customized Enzo with the pot leaf on the hood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

courtesy gamepro.com,
Run Forza On Multiple Screens
Run Forza On Multiple Screens
This describes how to run Forza on multiple screens as shown in big events setup by Microsoft.

Note: For this to work, you MUST have a seperate Xbox and copy of Forza for EVERY additional screen you wish to use, and all Xboxes must be on the same network together.

1. Start all your individual copies of Forza.
2. On each copy of the game, go to the Options menu, scroll to the very bottom ("Credits"), then press the left control stick in and down. This will cause another option, "Network Cockpit Settings" to appear. On your main screen, select host, on each other screen, select which view you would like the screen to show.
3. Now all the screens but the host screen should be waiting for you to start a race. Using the host screen, start a game, and the other boxes will automatically load the track and their individual views.
4. Enjoy Forza like never before.
