In the cockpit-builders forums scattered here and there, the consensus seems to be that monitors are better. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

March 8, 20251 yr Is this guy unclear on the concept or is it me? Aren't curved wide screen monitors designed to take advantage of the eye having greater peripheral vision on the horizontal axis? Won't he put more strain on his neck over time by having to physically move his head to look up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_vision Edited March 8, 20251 yr by Mike A added "curved"

March 9, 20251 yr Reminds me of when, here in Porta Land - the Western entry of Greatzzz Europe ! - around 1972 my father took me to the cinema to watch a 70 mm Cinemascope film - Ben-Hur !!! Well, probably the worst cinema session I had in my life because we couldn't buy tickets other than in the 3rd line of seats ( don't know how to correctly put it in English... ) and I got sick after a while having to look across the screen, and having difficulties focusing the images in my brain :-) Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
