Well After having my 3rd Projector sent to me.. I spent about 15hours getting 3D Surround up and running.. I then made some adjustments to the position of the projectors and I am thinking about getting a New Curved screen..
Also I currently need to get nThusim Warping software as my Projectors when starting a game resync and they get thrown out of alignment.. So I will need a Software solution as adjusting them by hand is not going to work and nThusim works so easy it is easier to adjust then trying to turn the mounts the projectors are on..
Well I will get some pics of my New Projectors and put them up.. I will try and get a video of DCSW in action. Oh and I also bought a TrackIR4 with PRo clip and been messing with that.. so far so good but I had a bit of a scare when I first hooked it up.. Since I have the light source from behind it was messing with the sensor and I could not pan up above 10deg.
Well I moved the TrackIR above the screen and pointed it down and that solved most of my trouble.. I posted on the NP website and they stated I could put the sensor behind me.. But I don't need to do that but it was a good idea they should mention that in their FAQ as I almost sent it back..
Its totally obvious that you're set-up is junk and that you should just throw everything away, being the good guy I am though you can just ship it to me and I'll dispose of it properly...... don't want any Chinese kids having to mess with that stuff in a landfill right? PMing my address now!

Yes, I have no idea how I put up with this junk.. hehe
I, did have a small update and saw your post here that is funny.. Well anyhow I had found out I need to purchase a Warping software that is nThusim.. What is happening that did not happen with my other projectors is when I start a game the screen goes blank as it resyncs and most times 1 or 2 of the screens does it a 2nd time throwing the sync off and I end up with a out of align projector screen..
It is pretty bad too, Towards the top sections where the edges meet, they look ok go down about 6 inches and it start tearing apart by the time im at the bottom of the screen on the edges it is near 2" off.. Please hurry and PM your addy I can not tolerate this crap anymore..
Well, nThusim should fix it though so I may just keep it after all.... I need to get camera and take some quick pics.. I also had to mod a Heat Shield on the 1 projector as it was blowing hot air into the intake of the middle projector and would overheat and shut off after about an hour of use.. but since my cardboard heatshield has been in place it has NOT overheated at all for I think about 6 hours I had it running this evening..
Don't look pretty but it is effective.. here are some pics Videos are on their way:
The Following are some excerps of some sims w/TrackIR and Triplescreen..
Arma2:OA
The Icing on this cake is it is in S3D With NVidia 3D Vision as well SWEEEETTTTTT!!
Setups like this always take a lot of tinkering to get working right. Nthusim should be pretty awesome when you get it going. Look forward to seeing more progress!
Good use of cardboard! When I was having issues with my HD projector (which I thought was related to overheating I mounted a desktop fan to my ceiling to add some extra cooling power. Now I have an unused fan on my ceiling lol, hope to replace the lamp at X-Mas (asking for a replacement as a gift).
BlackHawk Down,,BlackHawk Down,, Well one of my Projectors Fan stopped working and is now defunct..
I thought I could try replacing the fan but it appears to be a bigger issue then a fan not working..
I am going to try and send it into Acer for Repair and see how that goes..I think the Controller board has a issue..
But I will let the pros poke further into the problem. I do not have an osciliscope to fix it anyhow.. heck I could buy the board but I would rather a pro look at it..
WEll I'll report back after I setup the repair and ship it off..
In other news I went ahead and removed my Heatsink Off of my 590GTX and learned I needed some Fujipoly Sarcon XR-Pe.. Well after going the Fujipoly corp, I ended up finding some sheets on FrozenCPU.com.. I am waiting until Tomorrow to go ahead and order it..
I wanted to repaste my GPU as I was intending to Overclock it too and wanted some new Paste on there.. So next time I want to remove the Heatsink the Video card comes in two pieces so no need to remove the entire Heatsink but I had to anyhow since it was a total repaste job I was intending to do..
It will only be for a few days heck I don't have 3 screens anyhow till I get that projector fixed.. Gaming in Single screen is just somehow a handicap.. Spoiled I am now..
Well I tore apart the Projector it appears the MainBoard is Defective.. I looked around the area where the Fan plugged in and the 1 chip there was all corroded and looked darker then the rest so it probally burnt out as well..
I was looking on ebay and found a new Board but thing is it is for the NON P version, I wonder what the differences are between the P and NON P??
Well can ONLY run 1 or all 3 with NVidia but 1 is ok but still don't matter til I get the parts for my video card in the mail..
Running 3 really is not so bad but when things go wrong like bulb replacement it is for 3 Cost kill but when it works man it is a Beautiful thing..
Im just mad I will NOT have my Triplesetup Fully Functional when Elder Scrolls Online is released.. I get the 5 day before release playtime since I bought the Preorder..
But I got to play the BETA in 3 Screens looked amazing..
I am looking to repair the Proj. myself but need to find out the difference between the P and NON P model of this Proj..
Well turns out I did not find parts for the P model so I bagged it and use it for spareparts.. I ended up buying another Proj. and I am back in action..
I am currently underway of getting my New Curved Screen.. I plan on using Komotex PVC Sheeting and some steel tubing.. I am going to move the Projectors back 2 feet and find out how big the screen is going to be at that new distance. Currently they are 6feet away so it will be significantly be a bigger screen..
Hopefully I can find a big enough piece of cardboard.. I am going to have to cut the Proj. mounts down to raise the Proj. closer to the ceiling to omit any shadows on the screen.. Well I am getting the Komotex in about 2-3 weeks from today and I will post some new Videos..
Have you considered using 1/8" thick hardboard painted with Behr Silver Screen paint? You can get it at Home Depot. That's the stuff I used to cover the screen on the collimated display.
You may be able to order it from an actual lumber supplier, but you can use shorter lengths, just use drywall mud to cover the seam. You can feather it out so it won't even be visible after it's painted.
Yep, the collimated display is pretty cool. A friend in Colorado has built a 737 sized version I designed for him. It's 17 feet across.
I'll post an update on the F-15 in a new thread, I don't want to hijack yours.
