Title: 180 teaser
Post by: ivar hestnes on December 14, 2009, 04:00:56 AM
Just a little teaser of what to come.

Can anyone see that this is a 180 setup, projected on a flat screen? Spent one week to get the configuration done so far, and not 100% finished yet. Also a curved screen to make :)

More information to come when it is done and tested :)

Couple of teaser shots ;)

Okay Ivar, spill out the beans and stop the teasing part...my heart can't take it  ;) . And please, don't tell me you'll be using 5 projectors and 5 FS PCs. My wife has been quite 'understanding' when I bought 3 projectors, but she may not be as 'receptive' to my needs if I spring on her the fact that I need another 2 projectors and 4 more FS PCs. In fact, this could be divorce material and I can't afford a divorce since I will be relying on her pension when I retire soon  :camp:

hehehe, you have to watch yourself Maurice. Dont want to get you into trouble with your better half   ;D

Well, I am not going to do the big explanation yet, because I still have things to correct/work out. But it is 3 projectors on one computer. Running FSX. Very high end computer needed.

But it is sooooo fun. Standing at gate, watching competitor aircraft on both sides. Starting some experiments with curved screen today. Have space issues, so it will be a mirror solution I guess. Have a few here to test with. Sol7 is also installed on the computer :)

OK, so I get to live then even though I will be upgrading once more my FS PC even though it was handling FSX quite well.  One never has enough power it seems ;D

Just revert to FS 9 ( héhé) and save a new computer.

Ivar, by the looks at all the lines I can see that you are using 5 separate views window. And yes if you are using the sliders up you do need a very high end computer. It will be very interesting to see what sort of FPS you are getting and what computer setup.
