Sol7 (ImmersaView) Commitment to supporting this community

[Matt Olieman]

I was right on track the first time. And I don't think you mean angle, you want a wider view. I'm assuming this on the pics you drew. If so, then we're back to what Ivar and I said. Mine is slightly different.

I'm sitting in front of my FS9 and able to do the following:

Hold down the shift key and at the same time press the + to narrow the FOV, to "WIDEN" the view (as I think you are requesting), Hold down the shift key and at the same time press the - key. This will bring you back all the way to 31%

This way, you will see the objects on your right and left side of the aircraft.

Are we together on the right track?

BTW Ivar, backspace just brings you back to 100%

MattO,

The german keyboard is set up differently than the American style don't ask my why but have seen it. Not pretty.. lol I think his original statement of changing the view angle was just miss understood. I think that Christian is just trying to change the zoom factor.

So in this case he must input his own keyboard command to make this work for his keyboard, after changing should be good to go..

I know in FSX you can change your seating position by using the shift+enter key and also the shift+enter+backspace commands is this also good for FS9?

Christian,

If you don't want to use the zoom factor there is another way. To see more of the outside visuals, try changing the resolution on your computer desktop and in FS9 to the same as desktop something like 1280x1024 (if video card can except). Also you could set up using multi-monitors and the use of the TH2GO and set your resolution to a higher number. Just a quick thought. Plus you might like it better I sure did and esp. after I purchased my 3 projectors.

Ahhhh, zoom factor, the proper terminology

Shift + backspace, moving view in steps up in fs9.

I agree, zoom factor is what he wants, I'm curious to find out if his keyboard setup does make a difference from the U.S. version. I may learn something new

MattO,

Im thinking Microsoft only created for the US keyboard. Im afraid for the keyboard commands to properly work, Christian will have to setup all his own commands in the FS9 keyboard settings.

STUPID ME...! I have an US keyboard but Windows was set to german. No wonder nothing worked.
A "+" is a "+" but it is located on a different key, the function remains the same.

Thanks guys... Funny thing is that zooming is not in the keyboard assignments list.

1) the focal range of the projector (too much curving will cause focus issues)

I guess the above problem will affect my tentative screen setup. Is there a way to get around this focal-range problem?

I am trying to setup a cylindrical screen with the radius of about 2.4 meters with each projector throwing an outside visual while making the angle of 60 degrees with adjacent projectors on either side; I set the +/-60 degrees for side views with the zoom factor of 0.52 with WideView.

A simple calcuation yields the max difference of 0.7m between the two edges on either side and the midpoint of one screen section that covers 60 degrees for the 2.4 m radii-screen setup. I am wondering how much effect this distance difference would have on the image quality.

Our current thoughts are ....
.....
- add support for TH2Go and horizontal span mode

Have somebody News about that? Long time ago and still interested

Daniel...its done. I've been running Sol7 with TH2Go for months now...
