I need to work the angles a bit more and have to get my TIR5 set up again, but I'm loving the new views...

LD-4080 Westinghouse 40" LED's

That's running on SLI-Surround (Two EVGA GTX560ti 448core classifieds). smile

Might have to pick up a Warthog as the FCC modded Cougar is way to sensitve for the prop jobs.

They have a lot less effect than I thought they would. The outers are behind the middle so its a 1.5" break. The lineup is fairly good, in fact in iRacing there's only one corner that catches my eye, the rest are smooth. After I few minutes I'm so immeresed in the visuals I don't notice them.

Each sim is a bit different in how it andles the angles, but the screen mount works well in being able to adjust in or out and slide the screens left or right to compensate.

I run a three Projector setup for my 737 sim and even with edge blending there's a slight difference in the overlap but not enough to care given the enormity of the visuals.

Love the Obutto! Very comfortable. Was easier to get in and out of before I added the displays, now I have to step over the keyboard tray.

No, I have an FCC modded TM Cougar I fly with for combat sims...

or this for FSX on my other setup




Will get a Warthog soon as the FCC Cougar just doesn't feel right for the prop planes. Works great for Falcon and A10 or even tanking in WWIIonline
