Hello all. While it's been a while I haven't been idle. I've finally got an update.

B737NG-SIM officially flew today. Kind of. I tested out the exterior visuals and the MIP screens. Updates are on my website (link under my sig) and here is the direct link to the youtube video:

I'm using two BenQ MP772ST projectors to project onto about 130 degrees FOV screen. I had to do away with the third projector and curved screens. My space was just too limited to make it work. For the externals I'm using FS9.1 through a TH2GO and the Nthusim Pro demo. I'm getting anywhere from 60 to 110 FPS (flying over megascenery left over from my GA install). You can see the painters tape I used to grid the screens.

For the MIP I'm using two 24" WS monitors for each side, a 19" for the Upper DU and a 10.5" for the lower DU. I'm pushing FsXpand 5.8 demo for all of it. I have four FsClients running concurrently on one system, each handling a screen. I've either used the packaged panels or created my own (upper and lower DU) for the full gamut of screens. I just have to figure out how to make chronos for the panel.

My next step is to start building up on the shell to make sure the projectors have uninhibited line of site to the screens before I lock in the visuals.

More to follow,

Warren,

That looks really really good.  I am sure you are quite happy with the result.  I for one know it would be a nice touch to be able to have a bigger room, but it looks like you have made good use of the limited space you have.

Best regards,

Trev
