I messed around with various triple screen and VR setups over the past 7 years.

Started with a triple 40 as a test for my triple 60" Plasma setup for my full size 737. Ended up selling the 737 when I moved 6 years ago, and then built a triple 43" 4k.

Its nice but not quite what I was going for.

I played around with a few VR headsets but hours long sim sessions bothered me wearing that scuba mask. Ordered a Pimax 8k and still not what I wanted so sold it the same week.

New project is coming along, still need to get Fly Elise up and running to warp and edge blend it. 40" x 108" 180 degree off two BenQ 2150ST projectors. Better colors and brightness off the BenQs, but Optoma 1080ST Darbees are slightly shorter throw and would have made setup easier, then again, I couldn't find them for $525 a piece like the BenQs.

Looks great! Am considering doing something similar. Did you build the screen yourself? Any advice on paint selection? How is the sharpness on the edges? Thanks!

I bought the screen from SimPit in New Zealand and just had to assemble it.

Still dialing in the projector warping but liking it so far
