    We have a D-Box for Sim work. The single-seat 6DOF unit. It’s about 15k in price and not really worth it. It was good for the sensation of motion while you were changing positions, but the degree of movement was not as much as you might think.

     

    Anotherwords, while in a steady bank, you won’t feel like you are learning enough. Additionally, because you are lacking the actual centripetal force of motion, you will slide in the seat…which feels like a slip or a slide.

     

    Not worth that that much cash, though. JMHO

    Maybe make that request in the x-plane.org beta forum. Would be a great addition.

    Simpit 270Check out this puppy, that would be glorious!

     

     

    Price is a bIt daft and it requires 3 projectors. But yyou’d have full parallax when looking outside the windows and the windshield.

     

    Simpit 270

     

    if you have the means, wow what a setup it would make!

    Also, they guys who make ArdSimX also make a sim panel program.

     

    SimVim

     

    looks capable, but It’s for pvc only, I think. But as you are already using a separate system to drive your panel, have a look.

     

    i will be trying air manager first once my panel is ready, but I will also test this when the time comes.

    Depends on what aircraft you are mimicking. The C172 windows around about 32″ wide by 14″ tall, give or take model year, etc. That is actuallt the approx dimensions of a 34″ 21:9 ultra wide monitor.

     

    depending on how realiz]stic you are trying to be, those would be your monitors…but they are e pensive and require a lot of GPU to push two of them(2556 x 1080 or 3440 by 1440), plus the main projector (1080p).

     

    Now, to your question: what to do with the side monitors if they look too big with a narrower airframe. One idea, if you have the room, would be to move the side monitors out more, as far as you can, while leaving a smaller window hole in place.

     

    ie. say your current setup has two 32″ mi]onitors to your right and left at about 15″ distant for both (to keep the example clearer). Say they are 30″ wide by 17″ tall. Again, I am making up numbers. Disconnect the monitors from your rig and move them about 20 to 25 inches away from you for both the right and left monitor.  Now, make the whole for them smaller (say 25″ by 14″ or so, or smaller if that looks better.

     

    this will give you a smaller window to look through. But allow afford you some viewable parallax because the screen is set away from the whole. Meaning when you lean forward you will see some of the screen that was hidden, etc.

     

    just an idea on how you could make your windows smaller without getting new screens and maybe enchanted the feeling of being able to move your head to change your vantage point when looking out the windows:-)

    I, too, would love to know about the gauges. Looks like an ultra-wide monitor behind the panel?
