We finally received shipment on our converters for use with our Sony display tubes. The pictures below show various segments of flight as we were testing them out. The quality of the image is finally at the level we have been striving for. As mentioned in earlier posts, the different resolution projectors could never match the visual quality of this setup. The only draw back we see, but chose to live with, is the separation of the tubes. However, as those who suggested we take this route pointed out, once you start flying you really don't notice them as you focus on the tubes and not the separations. It is incredibly amazing how a fixed based simulator like this can make you feel like your moving. The side tubes running in sync with the 3 front tubes makes for one heck of a view.

As you can see from the pictures below, we still need to adjust the image sizes and and colors to match one another. We have contacted a video consultant who is going to tune the tubes for us. More pictures soon.
