I wonder he's using the comsumer version of Sol7 that folks at www.mycockpit.org are always talking about? And excuse my ignorance (I have no clue about these setups) but does that display set up give a little bit of "fisheye" lens effect to it? I don't know any better but to me it seems a little disorienting.

There's three ways to get the warp, two of which will give you edge blending. SOL7 does edge blending, but cost prohibative.

Nthusim is the pit builder version of SOL7 without edge blending. Cost $489

Warpalizer gives you warp and edge blending. Going through Ivar's site (great tutorial here http://www.ivarhestnes.com/ivarhestnes.com/Downloads/Visual%20system%20tutorial.pdf )and emailing him gets it down to 350 Euro I believe, and you get both versions.

Then there is Immersive Display Lite 2, which is 39 euro and has some "soft edge blending".

no fisheye, but you want to avoid a lot of keystone adjustment in your setup.

Windows desktop will not warp, so it will look odd on startup. Only the games warp. Also, you'll need short throw projectors for the most part, iunless you have tons of room and no obstructions (i.e. cockpit shell) you'll never do this with standard projectors.

Very well done on the wrap around video! I'm currently using NThusim+ for my set up. The projectors I'm using are Epson 705HDs that output 1200x800. We're a few weeks away from getting the 180 degree collimating mirror assembled. It's going to be _insane_. biggrin

Hey Ice I believe Warpalizer was pretty spendy.. You could try nThusim under 500Bucks.. for triple Projector edge blending and warps..

What kind of setup do you have ??

Not a lot going on with the build as the new house has taken priority.

I managed to install the Dual EFIS and MCP from CPFlight, and I settled on my Avionics and Systems Software that I am using. The sim will now be running Sim Avionics from Flighdeck Solutions. Seems to be the easiest one to integrate with the hardware and given they have a commercial version of this as well, stability seems good.

Hope to have more progress once it gets to its new home (new house).
