    I will take a few pictures of the visual setup friday evening and post them. There are allready some pictures on my website but not of the finished version.
    Talking about finished ... I am looking at adding a system to the back of the sim to make some movements (light turbulence ...) I am planning to use 2 small actuators for this.
    I think this will ad an extra dimension, when the thing starts to fight during landing

    I had to go back and take another look.... The crab effect is there Bob, most of the camera work is from the center of the cockpit. When the camera is not in the center, it's obvious.

    DARN, you got my hopes up Bob

    Hi Matt.I am going by what it says at his web site. That is why I asked for clarification. I thought it looked crab to me as well. But here is the direct quote "You can see that the front image is really wide, advantage is that there is no "crab" effect of the runway, caused by 2D projection. To see what I meen look at this : CRAB EFFECT" Now we will see what he says.

    Hi guy's,

    Oeps, I think my explanations on the website are not that good, so I'm glad to jump in here.
    Just to clarify, with the setup I have now, the crab effect is neglectable, that is sitting on the seats of pilot and FO or the space between them.
    I won't say that it is perfect, that is impossible with systems of this budget, but it gets close to it.

    The link I have added on the website (the CRAB EFFECT) was my previous cockpit, I used rear projection with only 1 projector. You can see clearly that the runway axis is out of line, even when rolling on the runway you could clearly see it.
    My actual setup doesn't have this.

    On my next flight I will make a video with the aircraft on the runway and move from one seat to the other, so you can see how good (or bad it is.

    You can allways come over and fly it yourself if your in the neighbourhood.
