Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
With some readjustment of the screens and a much better view.

Some work done prior to going to upstate NY in late May was the application of some paint.

Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
It is really looking good Brian. I particularly like the way you can fly many types of aircraft from the same pit.
Are you using 3 separate 2D view screens from FS through the TH2GO (like Nick's 5 screen version) or is it one 3D view spread across the 3 screens which is how I use the TH2GO at present?
Have you done much more with the PIC737 yet? The big advantage for me is that it is one of only 2 aircraft that works with the GoFlight MCP Pro without expensive extra drivers :)

Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
Howdy, I just use the forward view stretched and with it pulled out to around .31. Gives me a very wide angle of view. I have the PIC737 but haven't used it much. I did map the ERJ-145 from FeelThere using the mouse mapper in FSUIPC for the overhead and other spots and all are set to the various GoFlight switches as needed including the MCPPro and EFIS. I need to attach a shelf on the forward end so I can get the computer off the floor and mount the other set of redder pedals and yoke on the co-pilots side. Then I can start to enclose the beast. I might fire it up today if it stays cool outside. Even with an ac it gets rather warm in the building. Gets toasty with all 3 projectors running. Haven't flown since late May.

Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
Ever thought of venting the projector exhaust to the outside of your sim room? Might help with the heat issue.
Curious if you have any problems with FSUIPC Macro when using it with your add-on aircraft? I have nothing but problems trying to use Mouse Macro with the F1 Mustang.
Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
Design of the room makes venting very difficult. Makes it nice during the winter though. In using the macro I make sure that I don't have anything assigned to the switch or rotary in the GoFlight config program. I have 7 or so different configs set up for the various aircraft. The one for the ERJ has none of the switches assigned only the throttles, trim, flaps, and radios. All the lights, overhead and MIP switches are mapped. My FMC is on a touchscreen.

Re: NorthCarolina SimRoom
Changed the way I display the outside with the TH2Go and the 3 projectors. They were mounted over the top of the sim and projected onto from the front. In anticipation of finally enclosing this thing I placed the screen right in front of the front windows and now rear project the outside view.
Screen Mounted:

Sim lit up. need to work on the screen distance from the center post. Can't see the runway or airport on approach.:shock::
