(my reply to that with this running thru my head as the dog licks my leg) I read something very similar time and time again, and I STILL adopted a Border Collie! Anyone who's ever lived with one or known someone with a BC dog, knows what Im talking about
Nic, Thanks again mate- what you have done and shown has been the inspiration for many Im sure. I guess just like I stated above, you can save considerable headache, but from my side of the fence (who's never been on your side of the fence) I see how a lot of hard work has resulted in an awesome visual system for a home Boeing 737 simulator. Just to encourage you, think about what most of us here are doing- we are building a dang aircraft in our garages, bedrooms, and shops! So, yes- headaches, but I just love your visual system and dont know if I could ever consider changing the plans from a 3 projector wrap around to a single projector/LCD side view.
Regardless, I will too one day understand the difficulties of what youve done so great, if I choose to go that route.
One question on an item that did throw me though- You mentioned that if possible, have the side views projected nearly 90 degrees to the forward visual? That's certainly strange sounding to me, can you elaborate please
?

I guess this would be a feasible option. I happen to have a 21" and a 19" CRT Hanging around, and I have considered attaching them to the Side Views. Guess I might have to consider this option. I would like to ask though, In order to get the side view, I can imagine the THTG works well with FL, F, FR Views, however If I want Left, F, and Right, I am not sure It would look right. I may need wideview computers, and as I am sure you are aware having 3 pc's that can run Flightsim in smooth operation, can be costly. I guess I will need to play with it.
For those of you looking for a good rear projection screen meterial that shows no projector hotspot, I have found that Vinyl shower curtain works best.________________________

Trev - trick is if you zoom your 3 views out to around 0.45% in FS then the LEFT, FORWARD and RIGHT views actually stitch up well. We discovered this quite by accident.
Keep in mind that the left-forward and right-forward views are not 45 degree views, they are just extensions of the forward view further left and further right.
Eric - thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated. And guess what ... I have a cute border collie called "bella" ! so yeah ... I know what you mean.
