Well too my surprise I went and looked out the front door and there was a package there.. I saw it was my Komatex but the happiness quickly went away as I seen all they did was wrap it with shrink wrap and shipped it.. well I unwrapped it and noticed huge bends and folds in the material which is supposed to be smooth as to be able to print on..

Well I called up Tri-Dee and complained and told them how they shipped it and hopefully 3 times is the charm..

here are some pics if you look you can see the creases not a happy camper but at least I can see the menus ingame now..

Wow those creases are really noticeable thru the pics I can only imagine what they look like in person. Now being a shipping and receiving manager its pretty shocking to see how companies ship out they're products.


I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Well I had temporarily fixed it by putting the 8' piece in fron of the 10' piec I know havd a mostly decent screen and more importantly I have ends so I can see the menus and comms in DCSW and TESO..

It was really bad with the creases and I am usually ok with the little things but looking at it with the creases was just awful..

I habe no Idea what that distrubtor was thinking sending it out in just shrink wrap..

Sorry if I missed it, but are you running only one video card that can output to 3 monitors? The 590GTX?

NP, Yes I use a 590GTX which is a Dual card in one.. I am waiting for Edge to come out and decide on some new video cards.. I am thinking 770GTX or maybe even 780GTX's??

Are you running a MB with PCI 3.0 x16?

I am running a 2.0 x16 MB and don't know if I get a single card solution. I might have to upgrade my MB.

Well it is backwards compatible so if your MB has a 2.0 slot the new vid cards will still work just at the 2.0 speeds..

Thnx Beazil,

If you really would wantto setup one I am more then willing to offer assistance on what I learned from this build. it was rather simple enough to build..

I think this will do rather nicely for some time to come.. I am glad I decided to go with a curved screen..

Well I just requested a refund from Tri-Dee, I still cant believe after a month they could not get a single purchase corrected.. Not sure what business practices they have but I can't see how they stay in business if they can not get a simple order sent..

Looks awesome Nephi. I see 5he new screen looks fantastic. No warping at the edges... looks perfect. How is it under 3d vision?

Thank You Beazil, it looks amazing with 3D Vision when I play my flight sims it is so close to realsistic it does not feel much like a simulator but the actual thing except G Forces..

You would have to see it in Full affect to get the real picture the video only does it a bit of justice..

I would Highly recommend this type of setup to any gamer.. The Curved screen is just superior to the old Flat Screen setup I had on my previous incarnation..

WEll Guys having spent numerous hours flying and running around in Tamriel (Elder Scrolls World) I am looking to do a small update with some cool new device..

Now, I am unsure where I found the following device but I am beginning to take an interest in it highly:


http://www.ivibe.com/index.php?page=home

From what I gather something like this is highly desirable.. I did see another seat like this but it was 1200 USD I dont have that kind of disposable cash.. or if I did get it would take some time to save up..

But the iVibe Seat comes in under 250USD and is priced at the point I like.. Now I had emailed them to see if they still make this and if I can still purchase one..

I am looking for the next best thing to being there and I think this seat could be a good investment in my Virtual Simulator.. I was wondering if anybody has any known goodies I could add to my Current setup..

I have some Awesome Visuals with the Big Curved screen and NVidia 3d Vision sytem.. I am just looking for other cheaper solutions to addon for realism.. I am not too big on DIY but I am a capable mechanic in many fields.. I can do electrical/Hydraulic/ Pnuematic/ Welding-Aluminum & Steel// so I am well versed in many fields which is good for this hobby as I found out many times already..

But I like a all in one done for me solution.. and for those who mention I should build a real cockpit like a F16 or something I am not going to do that..YET!!

I am just looking for some sort of Tactile Feedback system currently and was wondering if you guys cam across anything in your Searches on Google or seen a cool device I might be interested in..

Here is what I have currently..

1. PC goodness
2. Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar
3. Thrustmaster Cougar MFD's
4. Track IR4
5. NVidia 3D Vision..


OK Guys looking for Feedback or the next cool thing to add to my setup..

Have you ever tried buttkicker? I've had one for years and its great. It can take some tweaking sometimes depending on the sim but feeling the plane and the gun is pretty neat. It really shined when I used to play a lot of Il2 with those WWII prop jobs!

Yes I have tried it it was cool but I think a G-Seat is going to be more immersive from what the reviews say??

I was wondering if anybody has this or something similar or even a new gadget I could try.??


Well it appears that tactile seat company has ran into some legal problems so that is out.. I am trying to find something like this G-Seat:

EDIT: Upon Further review I think I am going to try and get the Buttkicker Simulation
