Sol7 (ImmersaView) Commitment to supporting this community

[Matt Olieman]

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.

Best regards

You're correct.

Hi all,

If you want to see how Sol 7 is performing in my home cockpit, take a view in the photo gallery. You can find pictures in the members section at PDG_737. Album is called: building a fllightdeck 737. Pictures no 9, 10 and 30 show the setup and the results.

I have a 7.5 ft curved screen (aluminium and cheap foamboard) and a wide throw projector at a distance of 7 ft from center screen.

Looks really good.
What are the specs of your projector

bump...sorry


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

Specs projector: DLP, native 1078x768, 2500 ansi lumens, contrast 1:2500 and most important: a throww ratio of 0.6 : 1. So for a 10 ft wide image you need 6 ft distance between projector and screen. Perfect for a small space.
More details on the optoma website under EX525ST.

We have decided to go with ImmersaView's Sol7 for visuals over three projectors for the sim.

I have just found out that our local Police Air Wing are using Sol7 to project onto a 40 foot (wide?) screen for their training purposes. No other info and definitely no pictures allowed at this stage. Mate of mine and BIG sim builder saw it in action.

Hi Guys,
I had a meeting yesterday in Sydney with Andy and Alex from Immersaview the makers of SOL7.
They were installing a 180deg setup on a commercial simulator at a flying school, I was very impressed with the whole SOL7 concept. and ordered the Software on the spot.
This is such a great deal, that I am sure it will not last. This software is a massive discount on the comercial product that these guys sell, so if you want it or are thinking of getting, I would do it it now.
I will be installing a 3 projector setup on my sim in the next 6 months (very hard with full motion) using the SOL7 software.
As I said guys, "if it looks to good to be true" go and get it now, so we can all support Immersaview to keep developing this great software for the Homebuilders.

Hi Matt - yes, the product is great - i just have to decide between THTG and Wideview - looks like it's going to be WV - I guess this means 3 x installation licenses...!

Just ordered 3 projectors = Hitachi CPX5 's - these have a slightly wider throw than the standard -

Cheers

Tried various ways to get the visuals going.

The new sim room in in my garage = 2.7m x 4.1m
Plenty of width ( 4.1m ) but short in length ( 2.7m )

The solution for me ( not necessarily for you ) was short throw projectors.

Tried the flat screens - good but could do better.
Curved Screens - fantastic in size but image really is distorted.

Enter SOL7 .. problem fixed.
Fantastic result - now I have almost 5.0m of vision in a curve around the sim room.

Price might seem high but this is really LOW compared with commercial rates for this type of software.
The price offer to the flight sim community is a huge discount to simmers.

Once you get it up and running, you'll never go back to flat screens.
