    I agree with your numbers - I measure FOV at close to 107 degrees at max zoom out in VC, using a TH2GO at 3840x1024. Same results in the 2D cockpit.

    Perhaps Nat could tell us more about his set-up, and how he is measuring 150. Maybe the 3840x800 is what is making the difference. I have the analogue TH2GO here, and that is not one of the offered resolutions available, so I can't measure with that resolution on my system.

    OK, maybe im getting old. That 150 FOV may have stuck in my head when i was playing with TH2go and zooms.

    At 0.8 zoom, It looks like i get 'about' 120FOV...it feels like more when you're flying though...go figure.

    Here's some Screen Caps to show what Im seeing(this is in windowed mode, so Sol7 isn't taking effect ...before anyone asks)





    Before you get tempted top zoom out anymore...the images start to distort
    at the outer extremes of the screen when zooming out to far...

    The projectors that Nat is using is native wxga 1280*800 not 1024*768 of the xga ones. Its one of the few wxga projectors out there which would give him the extra FOV.

    Thanks for the excellent screenshots Nat, you are certainly getting much wider FOV with the widescreen monitors than I get with the standard 4:3 (actually 5:4) monitors. Interesting too to note that the FOV over one of the outer monitors is only about half the FOV of the centre monitor, confirming that the FS display is drawn as if displayed on a single flat screen, rather than a circular screen centred on the observer. This means that the geometrically "correct" way to view the standard TH2GO output is with all three screens in a straight line, and not with the outer screens angled in to the observer as many of us have them. Nic in Tasmania gets over this by using multiple contiguous window views. -- Bryn

    That doesn't look all that "open" to me. It looks expensive, hardware specific and proprietary...

    Open is typically used in a name to designate it was an open source or freeware app. That looks about the opposite of open source.

    Besides, you can do that exact same screen setup with Sol7.

    Quick question for anyone with Sol7...

    Does anyone have Sol7 running on a 64bit operating system(XP, Vista, W7)?

    Thanks,

    Nat

    I am wondering whats the most Field of view you can get with the SOL7 software and 1 projector.
    My budget will only stretch to one budget projector.

    Regards

    Rhys
