We've just finished the work on the shell of the cockpit and now thinking about visualisation.
We might use three Benq MP series porojectors ,and one matroxtriplehead2go.We are planning a cylinder display about 220 degrees.
Here are some pics.If anybody interested pls write: iudjin.total90@gmail.com

Looks great. What sort of roller did you use on the tubing? I wish I had that large of a machine shop myself for fabrication.

Hello everyone!
We have mounted the screen and this is how it looks:
We use square tubes 20x20 mm , we ordered them in thw workshop.They proved to be very cheap.
Now waiting for 3 mitsubishi projectors from france,and can't wait to download demo nthusim to start work.

Hello , thx God we've got three projectors ordered form France,mitsubishi short focused.We connected them to Matrox triplehead2go Digital edition,and installed nthusim plus demo version.I was tryin' to say that is really hard without an manual or sort of tutorial if there is one please link me.Thanks God i have intuition and i set it up (at least i think i dit it). There are some questions .I mean i installed nthusim and i set it up,then i gave a thought that i should run it as administrator,i mean guys you release a soft that costs half thousand dollars at least do have a tutorial...its your work guys.
i will come back tommorow with my trouble list ,thanks you all,no i have 2 go bye!

Hope it helps with your set-up. It looks as though it's going to be a great one!

Can you tried docked views?

You can definitely get to 225° using three projectors, but you are NOT going to get there with a single 'unzoomed' window; it's just not geometrically possible with the way views are generated with DirectX.
I've put together a spreadsheet that generates views for FSX, but I have not extended it to FS9 due to FSX and FS9 using different methods to configure the cameras. In order to get the views properly aligned in FS9, you need to define three cameras with the proper zoom level and pan angles. Simply opening three windows will not cut it, as you have already learned. You may be able to define new cameras (I haven't dug deep enough to learn how to do that in FS9), or you can edit three existing cameras to suit your needs. Once these cameras are properly defined, you need to properly locate them on-screen.
I can't take the time to research right now as I'm at work, but if nobody beats me to it, I'll get more info for you tomorrow.

what do you mean by docked views? you mean to undock them,then position whereever i need ,an then dock them,my setup doesn't support full screen view.
I mean:
- the FSX main window cover the projector setup (maximize the window there)
- turn on the crop window borders feature in NTHUSIM
- create new views (docked views)
I hope this helps.

I believe the same should be possible with FS9.. maybe the names are different, but I'm sure the same thing can be done. I haven't done it in a while though. If you have any trouble let me know.

That is great!! You should make a setups page 
I like the detail you put into the simpit. It looks really good. I like that you picked a cockpit I've not seen done before too. You'll enjoy the ability to look out all the windows on the 220 degree FOV and see nothing but outside visuals. It adds a lot to the experience.
