I do have a pilots license and I do fly real planes :)

[noles33]

my question is, does it effect framerates when you use the three screens?????????????

[nic737]

Yes - but not as much as I expected. Maybe a 20% loss is all.

Hi,

Do you have any problems using your projectors with the TH2G? 1) is this the analog edition, and 2) if so, do you get any problems with the image being offset to the right slightly on each projector?

I've tried 3 different brands of projectors now with the same results, trying to find a way that works!

[nic737]

Hi - I havent experienced that issue. Suggest you try changing video cables, video cards, or the PC to find whats causing the issue by elimination. Have you contacted Matrox support?

Finally an idea that I can use. 3 projectors is the key to a true universal image.

Amazing

when I want to project the 4:3 video via 3 projectors, will the Matrox TH2G make it automaticaly in wide format? will the result be like this video?

or the input video must already be in 16:9 in order to be displayed nice like this?

thank you.

@noles33 Some games are worse than others.

My HIS 5850 can run DiRT 2 on max gfx with 38 fps on a 3 display eye inf. but flight sim X will give me like 5 fps.

Looks good. What projectors are you using with your setup?

[psidhu1979]

Hello Nic,

like u said this was about 2.5 yrs ago, is there somethign new int he market today which would eliminate the need of three projectors? Also where can I find information for the visual setup using three projectors.

And hats off to you for your efforts!!

regards. Param

Any HD projector you just need a super strong atleast $1500 dollar computer to run at this extremely high resolution

[LenweAncalimon]

Ok.. Im convinced. Im gonna do this. What projectors did you use?

I'm a pilot and i been at flight sim since even before flight sim 95 (Microsoft Gunship 2000 back when having a Compaq 256 Presario in the early 90's meant something). Just found 3 epson projectors for $400 a piece at officemax. I'm so doing this! Great effort/post nic737

This video was posted 2-1/2 years ago and was a simple early test - nothing more. But sounds like you are you a 737-rated pilot who can set us straight about 'real-life flight'. When's the last time you filed a VFR flight plan in your 737 btw? - lol. We do have 737-rated captains who have helped us develop this system into a full-size 737 flight simulator.. so if you have more to add than them - then good - please share. Otherwise it's back to the Cessna with you....
