Hi all,

I have recently added a new vid card a PNY 470GTX and 3D Vision to my Virtual Flight Simulator..I have 3 3D DLP Projectors and 3-45" screens for a Triple Screen Environment and with the 3D It is VEry immersive sometimes I think I am there IRL.. ;)

Well here are some screenshots of When I first set it up so the adjustments are off I since then adjusted it and got it all aligned and running prtetty good..

I also plan on going SLI for nVisia Surround.

Yes, triple projection and 3D Vision Surround is really awesome in games. I agree. Problem is people don't realize just how cool it is unless they experience it first hand. Not too many people have this kind of setup for others to try out unfortunately. :)

A small and shameless plug, but you might try the trial of NTHUSIM Plus to align your projectors seamlessly. Download it and try the time limited demo mode for free. I noticed you had a minor bit of issue getting them aligned to each other and the screen. NTHUSIM can fix that. :wink:

Hi, YEs I have thought about getting nThusim. What I really need that program to do is Edge Blending plus working in S3D which the pro version does..

What's the viewing distance and how much space does it take up? I had always thought that triple projector configurations would have to be much, much bigger than that.

Hi, from the outside edge of the screen to the other width size is 6feet and with a 3 feet depth.. View distance is about 3 feet looks fine and being in S3D Very immersive..

Nope, projectors can even project as small as what regular 24" or 30" triple LCD might do depending on your intent. If your intent is no bezels and desktop use you might design a rear projection three segment screen or a uniform curved one. You're only limited by your imagination, creativity and pocketbook. Personally, I've always wanted to do a uniform rear projection curved desktop setup for my bedroom computer. Take a piece of optical grade .125" plexi and have it cut to 4:1 aspect ratio and put rear projection Goo Paint on it. It would be pretty much like that Alienware curved screen as far as usability -- but would be 3840x800 or 5760x1080 depending upon projectors used.

Please keep in mind that in demo mode you must quit and restart NTHUSIM every 10 minutes in order for it to properly reset. NTHUSIM in demo mode is fully functional, just time limited. Which games are having problems with NTHUSIM?

OK I believe I have nThusim Working now I had it setup to a point in which I dont think it would have Warped the Game. I made a few adjustments and it seemd to work.

Also the Sterescopic 3D Worked in game with nThusim I want to thank you for having that ability altho I may be the only one so far who may use that capability ;)

I need to buy another Video card then I can save some money to get nThusim in a Few months!! I was wondering is there any plans on getting Edge Blending incorporated into the Program in the comming months??
