Is there a particular order each should be downloaded? I've been out of the game for awhile, last time was Hog2 PC and Martin Show Designer. Also, I was able to use both on the same PC with a dual monitor setup. Is this possible with Hog4 and Light Converse?
Comments
- edited February 2013Yes it is. As a matter of fact, a 'Media' Light Converse Comes with every Hog4 Desk except the Nano.
JB - edited February 2013Media comes with Hog4 and FB4

As far as i know - edited February 2013Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to configure these two to work on the same computer with dual monitors (one for Hog, one for Light Converse)??
