Maybe if I win the lotto...

Looks great !

And very smooth with high settings..,

 

I guess they use multiple pc's for the outside as just 1 cannot get it that smooth driving 3 screens with high settings.

 

P3D ? I see no fisheye distortion at the sides ( Denali : did you by now had the opportunity to improve your fix ? )

And the settings look very high....

 

I guess that it's XPX with photo underground and default EDDF...

 

I see photo scenery with ag trees on it.

And , if I am not mistaken, Frankfurt Airport with many aircraft. The AI aircraft that move move very smooth...

There is no fisheye because ... the view that we all see of P3D on our flat screens, and all other 1st person games and simulations, is what should be projected on a dome to begin with.  There are programs that push and pull the view for domes to match up the edges and deal with imperfect shapes.  But my software "lens" shader takes the view that is originally meant to be projected onto a sphere and projects it properly onto a flat view.  This has been a problem since Half Life and the all other 3d engines since the beginning, a mistake that was overlooked and got in the genes of every other display renderer.   

 

I am still considering ways to have the shader code work within the view without having to use an outside hack to effectively supersample from the larger screen.  I've had some success using simconnect to do it on the fly from within P3D using a custom view control, but there is a glitch (again) in how P3D reacts to resizing within P3D.  I haven't tried since 2.5 came out.  I also have some other ideas about how to supersample without a window resize, but I need to take some time to experiment with it.  It's going to force me to learn more HLSL and directx than I want, and if I do that I might make sure I do something that I can bank my time for it, like lighting and color enhancements on the fly. 

I am still very busy, although much less stressed, not because circumstances changed, but because I've adopted to the new reality.  I don't see things letting up by any particular date.  But I am flying and tinkering more with P3D than I was able to last year, to much delight in this last version.  

Someone has a ****load of money...

AS DLR (German Aerospace Centre) is involved I woud guess the visuals and flight model are bespoke along these lines

The docs are from 2008. The visual is up to date.

 

@Denali

Take your time.

You just have spoilt us with how correct P3D can look on a 3 monitor setup...

 

If you could take away the graininess and sharpen it a little, you could release it as payware...

I was thinking it was P3D because when they go through the clouds, they are "particle" clouds--the ones that were added to v2. Also, the lightning looks like REX--the double forked bolts. I'd imagine there are all sorts of computers running that beast.

While the original video link is outstanding, the infinitely repeating few notes of the "sound track" are intensely annoying!

Yes I get that, that's why I said 'along these lines'

 

If you go on this site I (the company that runs the sim commercially) think you will agree that it is probably neither XPX or P3D. It is most likely bespoke. But nonetheless it is a fantastic beast.
