Awesome, this is the mother of all flight simulators. Cant wait to see it
finished( do we ever get finished ?) or should I say start flying. the first
individually handcrafted set-up by an individual. This should go the
Guinness book of world records.

Once that is up and running, you'll never leave the workshop again :)

Under the heading, "Gene finally finished one!"? :)

The screen is really too big. At some point I'm going to design a new one
that will have a much tighter radius. That will require a more difficult
projector layout, so I'm not going to mess with it right now. I'm going
to get two more canvas drop cloths for interim screen material but it will
eventually be one continuous sheet of Muslin in either white, or painted
white.

No, that's due to the f'ing artifical wetland the county created to offset
the one they destroyed in order to build a new sprog edumacation center.
You wouldn't believe the hassle that damn thing caused when I was trying
to get the shop built. If it was up to me, I'd pave the damn thing just
to make it go away.

Hi Gene,

An idea for your screen cloth, when my dad used to help in building movie
theatres, they use the leatherette cloth with small holes that they use for
car interior head ceiling, the small holes adds good pixel contrast with its
white color. Think you can get them at upholstery supplies store.

Cant wait to see the rig working.

Have a great weekend.

That stuff can be pretty expensive, especially when I need 9+ yards of it.
