Great job Phillip. What displays are you going to place in front of it, and how many?

Im going to use 3 projectors and a 17 monitor for a instructors station.My display computer will run 4 displays at 1024x768 in FSX with very good fame rates.
I need to buy some short throw projectors.The first projector I bought only delivers a small display.cost me £300 just sold it on ebay for £140 gutted.

That's a nice looking sim. I wish I had the space to build a rig like that.

Have you considered networking more than one computer to run the displays? I'm out of touch with FSX but there used to be a program (WideFS?) that would do that. More computers would be more expense I know but you'd get better performance and higher resolution.

Hi.I already use wideview.I have 1 pc running the instruments and 1 for the displays. Because ive deleted the virtual cockpits the performance is really good and I wont need any extra.
