Hello,

Thanks

It seems that the control points are placed wrong. I hope the following picture clarifies how the point (numbers) have to be placed:

Does it work with the default control point configuration: Restart fs2004. Start a new flight. Open three views (For testing it doesn't matter which views). And press ctrl-shift-a ?

Ok, probably a bug in my dll. Never release software in it's alpha stage!
What graphic card do you have and what resolution / color depth do you run?

Hallo mue,
ich sehe gerade, du bist auch aus Deutschland Ich benutze eine Geforce 8800 GTX 1280x1024 32bit Farbtiefe; ich habe es auch in einem Virtual PC getestet, aber da ist das leider das gleiche Problem; habe auch den FS im Fenstermodus getestet, ist immer das gleiche Problem, egal wie ich die 3 Fenster anordne oder welche Größe die Fenster haben.

Here in the forum we should stick with english because not all user understand german

I played around with the graphic settings in fs2004 and I think I found something.
The option (I have the german version) "Einstellungen->Anzeige->Hardware: Transformieren und Beleuchtung" (I think in the english version it's "settings->display->hardware: transform and lighting") has to be enabled. If I disable this option I get the same error like you.

Hello mue,

bringing this thread alive again. Did you succeed with you concept?

I am starting now with my visuals. First I will buy a Benq MX613ST or a MP525ST (only one now). My room is only 2,50m wide. so 135 deg will be the maximum I'm afraid.

If this is not possible I will stick to only 1 screen.

Thanks for any hint

Sorry for answering so late!

In the past I made some further experiments with a (temporary) 135 degree setup but in the end I was not fully satisfied with the result (the side screens were too dark and the image resolution was too low).
Besides that, I didn't have enough space in my man cave anymore to install a permanent 135 degree setup, so I was forced to skip this concept and stick to one single screen anyway.

How is everyones 180 degree one projector system coming along?

Do you think this system would work well with the new short throw 1080p models now out in the market?

I'm planning to setup a single seat trainer (JetMax, 2/3 MIP) so width of the screen will be less then the double seaters allowing for more wrap around within a limited space.

Would the side images still be very distorted with a 1080p projector? I will be planning to use Immersive Display Lite 2 to wrap around the visuals.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi bumped -- I'm still thinking of using one ultrashort-throw 1080p projector vs 2 720p projector, anyone experimented?
