P3D in Surround, Possible without huge fps drop?

Karrilon,

Do you use two separate "new" P3D views for the two 70 degree FOV side ports so they aren't so distorted - but lose some FPS from just a single forward view?

The three view method brings the sim to it's knees, I get between 8-12 FPS, so at the moment I put up with the fishbowl effect which doesn't seem that bad on a large display. The view angle you get in the Warrior cockpit when navigating VFR isn't really affected by the distortion but I'm hoping that Denali's distortion fix will eventually cover a 210 degree display.

Cheers

Richie
