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.

I have started a new Thread on 180deg FOV
http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14744
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.Quote:

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
Something I stumbled on today. Looks really good.
I haven't found anything about the pricetag though.

And..... with TH2Go and Sol7 you can accomplish this magnificent projection :) :) :)Quote:

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
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but SOL7 will NOT increase your FOV, it will "only" correct the distortion that will occur, when projecting onto a curved screen.Quote:
