awesome!

But where did you hide the Beamer? ceiling?

And how big is it ? :) Seems big enough!

Oh, and that Screen on the rolltable, is that a touchscreen?

The size is aprox 300'' and the projectors are in the ceiling.
The two monitors are touchscreens

Cool, does that work with the Touch screens? I assume you play in Windowed (maximized window) mode ?

When you play in Fullscreen, and use the Touchscreen for Media, do you lose the focus on Fullscreen or does that work? And how is it goind with Mouse + touch screen`? Can you use the mouse on the touch screen? and when you use Mouse on the normal Monitor and then touch the touchscreen, does the mouse stay at the same place or move to the touchscreen?

Yes it's works with touchscreens.
No, I play in full screen, with SoftTH + Helios. Helios allow to use pannels without take focus, so the game does not lost the focus.
In Windows normal mode, when you touch the screen the mouse pointer goes to the touch positiion

Fan - freakin' - tastick!!!!

What holds the side screens in place when they're extended?

Cool, I like the idea of a fold-up screen when not in use. I also have the Thrustmaster Warthog. What are your thoughts so far on DCS: World? I'm excited about the new stuff coming soon.

The screen is maked with foam core board, so the hinges can hold the lateral pannels without problem. Two little square of velcro in strategic points keeps the screen opened.
DCS world is very promising

I never thought to use foam board. Innovative use of materials. I'm thinking on using foam board in the next few weeks to mockup a A-10C simpit, so I can work out the fit on the parts. Did you buy the foam board some a hobby store? Foam board looks to be a good way to work up prototype parts for what I have in mind. :)

Nice :bigsmile: , I have a couple of questions : What projectors are you using??
What resolution are you playing?
Which videocards do you use?

San · Post by **San** » 08 Jun 2012, 01:01

This is the hardware:
3x Optoma H67N (Nvidia 3D Ready)
2x Nvidia GTX 480
1x Nvidia 260

The main screen resolution is 3840x720 (3x 1280x720)

Looking for a way to have everything fold up here too. This is a GREAT solution. Well done!

Can you give me the height and length of each screen? and how big it all is folded up? Also how far back are the projectors?

Are you planning on using projector material up the road or is the image good now? are you getting much reflection problems from the foam board?

edit:
How does that thing unfold? Also I noticed you tried a curtain system above? Is that a circular track you made, did that get off the ground? I posted an idea like that about a year ago but it seemed too problematic.

Great work again!
