Some pictures of today's "Test Flight" from Christchurch to Brisbane:

Enroute, the Captain left the cockpit to provide a better view of our visual system (not exactly positioned, by the way, still some adjustments to be done):

On the blocks, before shutting down to "dark and cold"

The hardware works perfect now, the software needs still some troubleshooting and trimming ...

Thanks for watching!

That would not be WidefS it would be WideView. Two different programs. My guess is he is using the Triple Head to Go.

The hardware is mostly manufactured by COCKPITSONIC from Germany, the visuals achieved by three beamer system, connected via a MATROX TripleHead2Go Graphic card!

Wow, that first picture really makes me feel as if the sim is high up in the air with that wide horizon out in front. I am SO GLAD that Matrox came out with this product- it has solved so many issues for the home builder.

WOW. That is a stunning pit there!

Yeah the Matrox 3htg is a great thing. I really wish MICROSOFT would listen a bit more to the simpit crowd and add in some more features that are targeted specifically at OUR needs. Of course... first I need a main machine that can actually RUN FSX at a decent display quality and framerate in the first place ;).

best,

What type of beamer(brand) you use?
I use three DELL 1800MP, and yes, the picture is a little crispy, you cannot compare it with a flatscreen monitor.

But you have to take under considderation, that the projection is three times 180 x 150 cm = 540 x 150 cm

The resolution is 3.072 x 768 pixels

But I swear, after a few minutes in the air, you don't think about resolution any more ;)
