The good thing is it has a insert to be able to attatch to my Mike stand so I have a solid base and the auto level feature makes it a perfectly straight line..

I can not wait until I try a flight sim now with the new correction..

here is the model I bought:

Well after going through some thought I decided to put a coat of paint on the screen. I found a few posts and they all pointed to Behrs Silver screen paint in Matte finish..

Well first coat is on and will take a hour to fully dry and half and hour before I put on the 2md coat.. it is preety wet still and reflective but I think it will make a small improvement vs the white PVC coat..

I can wait till it dries and the 2nd coat is done.. Hopefully this will cure my Blending problems...

I used a Behr Sliver Screen in Satin for the projection surface we used in the collimated display project. It's a very nice surface.

As always wow! Been thinking about building a screen, I have a pretty large pull down projection screen which is great for overhead projectors and power point presentations but having a purpose built screen has gotten me thinking lately.


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

Well good thing I can point you to a great website for building a DIY Screen. I am getting pretty good results with the Behr Silver screen paint which seems to be a hot itme for DIY screens..

Let me know if you want to build a DIY Screen I can offer some assistance in the process..

Well I just seen a New Direction in this ever evolving Simulator setup.. I am looking to do something similar like this with FishEye lenses. now I need to do a ton of research and save my pennies but who knows maybe in a few years I can save enough to do this:

Does anybody have any experience with fisheye lenses and such??

A shot in the dark but does anybody here have a Titan or live near Simpits?? I was wondering what they use to get view like I am in the cockpit with the sides around me.. here is the video incase you missed it:

Well Jumping ahead I am quicky reverting from the above Titan screen to a Collimated Display like this:

Oh F15sim, I could use some more in depth details on a How too.. I am so wanting to build one of these displays now..

Unfortunately, the patent for the curved bits at either end of the mirror cell don't expire until 2017.

What bits are they?? I am guessing this means I can not build one, well that really stinks frown

It's the curved "ears" at each end of the mirror cell.

Well ok I guess it will be on hold for now anyhow for other reasons..

The biggest drawback for me is going to be the shopvac and all the noise it makes.. I was wondering is there any other solution to dra down the screen??

The shopvac makes barely any noise at all when you use a speed controller instead of a bypass gate. You can also use a much smaller vacuum than we used. A small, portable shopvac does a great job.

Yes I seen the video of the device you guys made very neat. But IF I am unable to build that device or you if you could so kindly send me some detailed schematics of it I guess I would need to find another way to control the shop vac..

A lot of questions have risen up and I am unsure where to turn for help with designing and building this Screen.. Are you able to help me??

Wayne developed the circuit that uses an IR sensor to detect the position of the mylar. That in turn connects to an Arduino Uno that controls the servo used for the speed controller.

Unless you know exactly what you're doing with regard to the design of the mirror cell and screen, there's no point in worrying about how to control the vacuum. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but I'd rather not work on any external collimated display projects until after that patent expires. Rockwell-Collins could turn me into a smoking hole in the ground just by filing a suit. They wouldn't even have to win it. frown

Hey Man, I understand totally and do not think you are being a jerk.. I guess I will go it alone.. I am very resourceful, I will do some research..
