Projector arrived, finally!!

[navychief]

Man, oh man...this is the only way to fly! I am sitting here in my homemade Akers-Barnes cockpit, looking at a 60 x 80" screen.

 

The realism is amazing during simulation!

 

I can recommend DLP projection (specifically, the BenQ model PB2240), for certain. This is unbelievable!

 

Only thing I will want to look into, is if I can somehow hook up my monitor into this setup, so I can use it for instrumentation view. But if that isn't possible, that's ok. This is so cool!

 

I am one happy Navy Chief tonight:)

 

Go Navy!

 

I have a feeling my wife won't be seeing me for a while, heh, heh...

How well does it operate in daylight? colour definition etc?

[Guest 531_Ghost]

Yes please! We want pictures and stuff! Hey Revvin! Fancy meetin' you here!

[navychief]

Hey all.

 

Although I do get an ok picture with some light in the room, it is best with as much darkness as is possible. No problem, as I do much of my gaming at night anyway.

I did do major organization in the room today. Almost ready to take some pictures. Basically, I am trying to make it a gaming room only, and also turn it into a movie theatre too. Have got a new 7.1 surround sound system enroute. This Chief plans to be turning and burning soon!

That depends on your videocard and the game. If you have a dual-output card you have the ability, but the game has to support either 2 monitors or spanning or something.

I remember Back to Baghdad supported usage of a monochrome monitor to repeat the MFD, but that was a LONG time ago! :)

I know y'all want to see pictures of my setup, but unfortunately it will be a little while longer before I am able to get things ready for pictures. I am in the process of having all new siding and roofing installed on my house. All the windows were replaced last weekend. Things are a little chaotic right now!

 

But I promise to take a post pictures as soon as I can.

 

And yes, the projector is AWESOME! When you can afford to bet a DLP projector, it totally changes your simulation experience!
