Will go triple - am looking at 32" curved ones - they'll fit on the stand

this gives you a good reference for distance to screen setup @mightbuyaford

a 55 inch 1080p would need at least 2 metres

Currently have 3x27".

 

Think I'll wait til I get it setup and see if I "need" the 3x32"

 

From where I'm sitting looking at the single screen that's on it now it looks tiny - will be fine once it has the other two and I'm in the seat - was just a spur of the moment decision helped by a few beers while rearranging the room

 

edit: the width you get from the triples far outweigh a larger single screen when driving

16:3 5760x1080 beats 16:9 3840x2160 for racing - no matter the screen size, even if it does have less pixels

[Rab]

Guarantee I'll get you eating bacon/egg waffles with maple syrup and triple screen flight simming or racing again before I'm done.

MS Flight Sim X was the one I was starting on (managed to download the airport I was flying out of and the plane I was flying in)

 

Was using it as a training aid rather than for fun - got the Saitek controls to replicate it as well as I could.

 

As per usual though - sh*t happens and I'm dragged away from getting lessons and learning to fly.

 

Will hit the training properly full steam ahead once things sort them self out at this end - am keen as anything to go PPL, but know if I tried to keep going half arsed at the moment I'd end up stuck in RPL limbo

I have war thunder - it actually works with the motion system I have for the sim rig too

 

Just need the hotas to go with it

 

I reckon I'll end up making the old Monte Carlo arcade booth into a flight sim booth for the training aspect and grab the hotas to use on the proper rig for fun.

 

This is the stuff I have for the serious learning part - don't need a big screen (or triples) for that, just a realistic cabin layout. (threw in a joystick - and am missing a 2nd throttle - it's around here somewhere)

 

 

edit: yeah - before anyone mentions it - it's I <3 Bananasing dusty.

War thunder will work with full vr too. That would be total setup.

 

Vr/motion/decent screen setup. Would full blown in sim racing and flight. Experience would be pretty good. Nothing beats g force and going upside down though

[Rab]

All hooked up and working.

 

Need to finish setting up the other screens and wheel/pedal/seat position and connect the Buttkicker.

 

Quick play last night just to make sure it all works - not turning it on again until all the setup is 100% finished and the room is cleaned up.

 

Definitely need to fine-tune the motion settings - farck there's some power in the unit
