I haven't purchased SOL7, as I was waiting for this. I'm reading and reading and waiting to try it myself.

Thanks!

I think the invite went out to previous purchasers of Sol7. You might contact them though and tell them your dillema. You never know!

Thanks heaps for that Sean,

With the standard addition software, using just one projector how much of a curved screen could I get away with, and would using a curved mirror help at all.

Regards

I was using 3 projectors with a well bent curve in the front...basically a "U" shape. I've gone to a single 3D ready projector and a flat front screen since then. For me, the 3D effect eliminates the need for the side projectors. The larger the curve, the more unfocused your image will be on the sides which I was ready to do away with. Also, there is not a need to make the curve any greater than what your in game field of view will be anyway. I also like larger scenery, it's much more immersive than being zoomed all the way out and this will reduce your required screen FOV as well. A little bit of curve won't hurt, but I would shoot for less curve than more. As a side note, front projection helps the focus issue quite a bit vs rear projection.

Here's a pic of my "U" shape from a little angle off center of the middle projector. This is rear projection, so the cockpit is behind the screen. You can see that the image starts to fade as the side projector takes over well before where the curvature ends.

Hi guys, i'm in the phase of setting up the outside visual and i'm confused on wich software to use Sol7 or the new NTHUSIM? what are the differences? why using both?

My screen is circular starting with one projector then add other two.

If you have a registered copy of Sol7 you should of received an invite to the new website and have an offer to upgrade to NTHUSIM.
