I am considering switching back to FSX or P3D from X-Plane.  The primary reason I switched to X-Plane is because of multi-monitor support.  FSX  on three monitors looks too stretchy adding distortion to the overall sim experience. I am thinking of switching back to s single monitor (Projector 4K 1080P 1920x1080)?  Typical gamer response to both 4K TV and projectors are the fact that they do not have a fast enough refresh rate. Since FSX graphic engine hasn't been updated in 10 years, I figured the performance would be acceptable.

Is anybody using a projector for FSX or P3D? If so how do you like it?   I am considering VR but heard that the poor resolution and not being to focus  or look at  external controls such as external hardware (Yoke, etc, IPADs, etc) is a little bit of a showstopper.. Although with add on utilities (In Flight) for the VR glasses can help some of the above..

Thanks!

There is a whole niche for people that are currently doing this over at www.cockpitbuilders.com

I'm currently setting up 3 1080p projectors on a 180 degree screen.  It can be done, and looks great.

P3D does multi-monitor very well with View Groups. Just like X-Plane 11, in fact. Personally I think going back to FSX for any reason would be a big mistake. But if you're going to go 4K, make sure you have the right breed of super-computer to drive it.
