Two projectors ; how to get a side view situation ?

Featured Replies

Hello everybody,Since a couple of days I have two projectors ( see the DIY projector thread ).I now want to use these two projectors to make not only the front view , but also leftfront and rightfront.As a Wideview Team member my current 6 monitor setup shows the views completely to the left and right.And being able to look beside you makes Fs much more real.However I wanted the outside view(s) to be larger, so now I will start experimenting with projectors.I was thinking about the following setups :1 Two projection screens , lightly curved a the sides. The two projectors connected to one pc and with one expanded view ( Nview ).Advantage : you really have a wide view ; the runway will be twice as wide as everything that you can see. .Disadvantage : I think that the views will be out of proportion at the curved sides. Especially when banking.2 One pc with again a dual head graphics card.Four smaller projection screens( each screen has the normal height, but will be only half as wide ). Each projection view will exist of two views, so it will be something like : -30 degrees, -10 degrees, +10 degrees, +30 degrees.Each projector will project the image onto a splitting mirror and then with the help of two other mirrors onto the screens. Advantage : you can only set it up perfectly for and the side views are correct.Disadvantage : the runway will be half as wide then with the above situation. You can only set up matching views for one pilot.One main advantage is that by using two projectors the seperate views can be smaller than when using one projector.Therefor the total image will be twice as sharp. In contrary to me I am sure that amongst you there are Fs flyers with more ideas and experience.All suggestions are welcome.Happy flying,
