I plan on writing my own electronic threat simulator for my sim, simplified of course, so that I can play all the beeps and squeeks of the RWR, and maybe even simulate AAA and missile shot/hits.... Funny what you find when you are searching obscure subjects :) Anyone tried it out? I have installed it, and played around a bit. I can get it to make some cool whirring and clicking noises... plus some alarms that I just couldn't shut up... I think I'll need to actually read the manual to make it actually work Man I'm easily distracted!

After all the real world pics, the very photo-realistic sim blended in. :) It looks well done, and quite accurate. Definitely not an arcade sim.

I have used this before to do exactly what you are trying to achieve. The controls you are looking for are normally called "image shift", or something like. The "shift" moves it, then there is normally a "freq" control which stretches, so shift left and stretch right should loose the left and right edges, then the same for top and bottom (I have only used it for left/right adjustments....) The other way would be to use SOL7 to do the same thing, i.e. move the image so that the edges don't show...

One thing you WILL see unless you're using NThusim is a thin black line around the "active" window. The guys at Immersaview (Nthusim/Sol7) actually added a feature that will crop the display by a single pixel to remove that border. After doing some reading on the P3D forum, it seems that the the recommended way of doing this is to have a slave machine doing all the video work and a "master" machine that's panel only. This is doable with their $10/month 2 license developer version. BTW, some of you may have been getting bounces due to Sorbs thinking your ip address was a spam source. I've removed them from my mail configuration so this shouldn't happen again. If you DO get a bounce, please forward it to me so I can get it taken care of. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.diy-cockpits.org/coll - Go Collimated or Go Home.

I also notice that you list non-square resolutions on each screen. Are you using non-square screens, or just a square portion of the image? I haven't found a way to get rid of the borders, but if you run in full-screen mode, they're only one pixel wide, and they're black on all but the 'active' window. There is a small catch - unless one of the windows is associated with a 2d cockpit view, FSX will configure at least one window to full-screen. I usually get around this by defining a 2d cockpit view with a small window and small 2d cockpit, located somewhere unobtrusive (if you're only using the square center portion of each display, the unused space between windows is perfect for this), set to active. Once this is done, you need only to set your projector's zoom to place the borders just outside of the actual screen area, and you'll never notice them. Conveniently, the correct zoom for a 90?? window is 0.302 - close enough to the 0.30 minimum that you shouldn't have to worry about editing the .flt file directly.

Pretty interesting stuff, but the learning curve is very steep. Unfortunately from what I can tell the manuals cover the operation of each of the different missile systems, but fail to talk at ALL about the basic operation of the program. This led to much wasted time playing around in the "practice" mode which, amusingly enough, does not allow you to shoot any missiles. "Live practice" does, however. Another major drawback of the manuals is they jump back and forth between talking about how to operate the sim, and the history/technical information on the SAM being simulated. I actually threw the manual into Adobe pro and removed all of the pages not related to actually operating the sim to make it a bit easier. It would have been nice if he organized the manual a little differently, segregating the information. Once you get the hang of it, though, it's quite interesting to experience. A few of these SAMs are in use out here in my AOR, so it's quite interesting to see how they are operated. From a pilots perspective (even sim pilots), SAMs are just this deadly thing that suddenly flies up at you. ;) It's kinda cool to see the intricacies of operating it, even against a non-jamming, non-maneuvering target. It would be REALLY cool to be able to integrate this sim with a flight sim... but alas I doubt that would ever happen. Sounds like an excellent flightgear project, though. ;) Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
