With Philips Hue I am imitating the outside world lighting (brightness/color) shining into the cockpit.

 

Are you using Hue sync?

The Hue app on the IPhone 

The Hue Sync Windows App on the main pc.

Cool👍

FANTASTIC  Cockpit also Mr. Salden 🤩🤩

You are one of the Cockpit builder *Pioneers* 😃😃 , I remember *the brown cockpits* The 747(767 also?) atleast in various incarnations.

I only have a 10900k with 32GB system Ram and 3090 24GB, I have 1 LG TV Oled 4K 55inch, is it at all adviseable to build 3 screens? Cockpit-build on 1 computer? (I also have a Reverb G2 headset, the reason I bought a 3090 after a initial 3080 investment..)

 

Thanks in advance

Very Cool... I should explore this myself, thanks for sharing...

You can do this with every monitor, so a monitor with a LED strip at the back and you will get the same effect as every Ambilight TV.

Hete someone who has a racing car setup with Philips HUE. Everything is explained.

With 1 pc I would use max 2 displays. My server has 2 4K TV’s connected. Already I need the fastest hardware to have a smooth and detailed experience…

my wife would either kill me for that setup or ask for the equivalent in shoes or handbags 😉

That's neat.  Is 2 4K displays almost too taxing in performance?   If I did this (home cockpit) I would consider two 1440p displays, but then...that seems like under-usage of my 4090 card.

Or maybe 3 displays, one for center, possibly curved...and one display each for left and right.

I've got some Hue lights above my monitor but never used the Hue Sync app before. Just installed the app and tried it out:-

 

 

This is really awesome!

Makes me appreciate VR even more!🤣

As VR has truly saved my wallet!😅

Your 4090 can handle 2x 4K and I think even 3x 4K.

It is the CPU that is under heavy load. Therefore I choose the WidevieW way so max 2X 4K for my server and 1x 4K for my Left view client .

Thank you Mr. Salden, 😊

I have seen a few cockpits with 3 screens on youtube and on forums! But I was a bit unsure, and it makes me even more unsure about following that 3-screen path now as 2 more oleds are a bit expensive! 😔😲 even the 55inch TVs... 

I have thought about running 3x

*1440p MSFS-resized* 55-4K , as it was one of the FIRST things I tried after getting the 55inch 4K Oled TV.

I used the resize resolution in the display options in MSFS2020 I also tested with Nvidia DLSS.. It felt quite a bit blurry at 4K compared to 1440p MSFS Resized in my opinion?

Maybe I did mistake as I did a Quality reduction testing in Nvidia control panel..

I went from Texture=Quality VS, Texture=Performance

with the DLSS testing I did, so "maybe not" a complete apples to apples comparison I guess I forgot that I had also changed that setting before testing DLSS inside MSFS.. doo'h .. 😳

Thanks for answers/advice everyone if you have experience with the subject.

Today I am adding 2 more spots. One at the left below the grey shelf and one extra at the top.

I was just thinking that I might have to configure the lights at the opposite direction in the HUE sync app. At this moment it is configured to what I see on the displays.

If a light shines into the cockpit coming from the left it is shining on the right  part of the cockpit  Or do I see it wrong ?

What do you think ?
