Planning ahead, and building very slowly. With the recent drop in monitors, I am presently planning on 5 x 23" monitors, giving me 225 degrees of view from the cockpit of my yet to exist Baron G58 cockpit. By the time I'm ready they might be selling for $19.95 (just kidding). I was delighted to log in today to read Mike Powell's timely article "Immersion & Scenery Display". I agree about the lack of reality from IR tracking (who'd disagree with Mike anyway), but I'd like a realistic way to look up and down, and not always on a level horizontal plain. If IR tracking could be locked to provide only panning up and down, that might be a benefit. However, it seems to me a less expensive solution might exist built around mercury (or mercury like) switches. It would be nice to actually turn left and look down to see the field while on the downwind leg for landing, or look up to make sure someone isn't trying to land on top of me. Of course, the head movement needs to be augmented as with the IR trakers. Anyone know of such thing, or similar solutions?
