Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Thanks for the responses guys. Really appreciated.
@ Wil - I'm jealous you're off on holiday . Anywhere nice (and HOT!)? Have a good one. And no pinching the sheets off the beds!
@ Brad - It's partly your fault! I was no where near thinking of starting my visuals until I saw photo's of yours.
@ Ian - It's mainly your fault! I was no where near thinking of building a sim until I saw yours!
Will post back with progress on the smaller screen. Don't build your hopes up too much tho. I hate being the bringer of bad news.

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Hi Brian,
Do you find your image has a 'grid' running across it with the ex525st?
I know I am only sat about 1.5m from the projected image (and it is onto a white painted plaster wall) but I have a noticable 'grid' from the projector showing on the image...
Any suggestions - do I need a cloth screen?
Sean, those visuals look great!
Cheers
Mike

How big is the grid? Is it not the individual pixels you are seeing?
They are visible in my setup, more so against a light blue sky.

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Hi , do you know the minimum curved screen you can use ,
My sim is placed in a room with the following dimensions;
Height of room = 2500mm
Width of room = 2300mm
Nose of pit to wall/window about 1600mm
Can this be done by using sol7 and short trow?

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Way cool setup. Im from an air cadet group in newcastle and i have been put in charge of flight sim instruction and development, could you please provide details on the way you have set this up and what hardware you are using.
Thanks, Keith

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Hi Keith
My setup is 3 short throw projectors connected to one PC via a Matrox Triple Head 2 Go. As I'm using a curved screen, I need to use a program called NThusim to uncurve the image. You can get away without this software if you project onto flat screens placed at an angle to each other, but I've not seen that in action, although I gather the results are very similar.
Microsoft Flight Simulator, in my case FS2004, provides the visuals.
You can get very good outside visuals using one or two projectors too, but it impacts on the actual image size, or more specifically, the field of view.

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
thanks for the info, and yeah i was planing on using flat screens as its what ive used on RAF simulators (Griffin, Hawk, E-3) in the past, how much field of view would you say you were getting on with your current setup?

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
My visuals are not finished yet, it's a temporary setup to get me going. I'll be aiming for a minimum 180 degree FOV, more likely 225 degree, using 5 seperate outside views much the same as Ivar Hestnes has done. Check out his website here:

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
Would it be possible to make a much smaller version of this, ie something that will fit round a cessna type aircraft, considering the cessna is pretty much a meter wide, I am assuming that that a dual monitor setup projecting 90 degrees left and right would work quite well and require less space!
Just food for thought!GA or the Highway!

Re: Pictures of my curved screen setup
I have come to the conclusion that I need a bigger house!
That is an awesome setup
