Can't beat 4K projection IF done well..

My 2cents:
If you have enough room (ie: fairly long distance between windshield and projection screens) keep the projectors.
TV screens have to be much closer to cover winshield and windows of the 74 and you will loose sense of depth.

Hi Jon

Seems to me You had an amazing 74 Sim back in the day ?
Still kicking ?
Cheers

Brings back memories. I used to use a TR182RG on trips from Denver to Montana on a regular basis.  It was back in the analog days but kept one sharp.  weather across Wyoming could be "interesting" and my IFR ticket got used on more than one occasion.

Hi all,
I'm a newcomer after a long absence.
I have a 747 sim (home built) with a 5-meter projection screen which is using 3 Optoma 1080P short-throw projectors.I would like to take advantage of 4K - but I'm torn between getting 4K projectors or just replacing with 3x100nch tv screens.
Advice welcome!

Thanks guys.

I'm thinking to get 2 x FlightSimBuilder G1000 hardware units for PFD and MFD.

I've searched around for third-party G1000 software addons for FS2024, but nothing stands out yet.

I've used AirManager before, and it's great, but their G1000s display the bezels too, which I don't need. And I'm not sure if they have native compatibility with hardware units like the FSBs?

I think the idea of manually adding the G1000 NXi instruments to the Blacksquare B350 panel would be the more straightforward solution. I could just stick them somewhere to pop them out. I haven't done panel mods since FS2004 though, so it could get messy!

There is software that came with my G1000 displays that could be used but I agree with Kyle that there are a bunch of third party apps that will work.  You can also directly program each button/switch generically or aircraft specific using MSFS directly or via a 3rd part.  I have typically used SPADnext for many years.

Finally, you can play with the programming per plane and manually make some changes to the panel and instruments using the instruments from a different plane.  It takes a bit of tweaking but it is doable.

Air Manager is another potential way.

You'd be using third party software for the panel display. Not sure what's available for 2024, but something like Project Magenta.

Thanks Steve, appreciate the advice.

Nice setup you have there.

I'd like to use the Blacksquare B350, but how would I pop-out the two G1000 windows onto the hardware-screens if the G1000 windows aren't already in the aircraft's panel?

I'm a turboprop guy as well and this area has always been the poor sister in MSFS.  The old Real Air Duke was a great plane and the Flight1 B200 is OK.  There is no reason you cannot use the Blacksquare Turbine Duke (which imo is the best model out there) with a G1000 as, if you are using a built cockpit you don't need the instruments or the regular panel from the model.  It will interface with your controls.  The Blacksquare B350 is also a nice plane.  Finally, though not a twin, the TBM is also an excellent flyer.

This below was my setup flying the Duke.
