Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical

About a year ago, a member of Viperpits talked Leo in making a special 
run for those who needed to finish/complete their BI pit needs.  His 
prices went "skyhigh,"  an eflux was $1000, and he added some stuff he 
never had before, plus new software.  He has done some of the stuff, but 
not all of it, I believe.  He has no contact with the customers, except 
for that site and the person who talked him into the last run of boards, 
etc.  I beleve that he has some contact with the race car sim people, 
but not the aircraft sim folks.

Does anyone know why Leo packed it all in?

Although I never had any BI stuff, I only ever heard good things about them.

Curious Roy.

Hey Gene,

Ever thought about tossing the shop vac in the corner and using a quiet
aircon compressor to "pull the vac" on the mylar sheet ??

It would be super quiet.

Ben, the shop vac will be pretty far away from the simulator when it's 
done - I may also isolate it in a muffle box of some kind.  The bypass box 
will be located next to the shop vac so you won't hear the bleed air 
either.  I'm going to try a 20' cable between the Arduino & the sensor 
port on the mirror to see how it goes.  I don't want to go too far or I 
risk killing the input channels on the Arduino due to line impedance.

I could also go the other way and have the bypass box near the mirror, but 
in a muffled housing that would damp out the sound.

Wayne's setup will have the advantage of piping the vacuum source through 
a wall (the shop vac will be in his garage) so he won't have to go to the 
extremes I will in order to muffle the noise.

The current setup requires nearly the full draw of the Fein Turbo III dust 
collector that I'm using and even with my 60gal air compressor going full 
tilt, I can't approach that amount of volume.  The Fein will pull a 105" 
water column which is roughly equivalent to about 8in HG.

Hehehe. I checked the specs earlier today and the Fein is only putting out 
about 58db.

I think later this summer it might be worth it to try melting steel with 
that mirror. :)

Just spitballing here, but IIRC there's a fair amount of space behind 
the mirror, no? It seems if you could reduce that volume that maybe your 
vacuum requirements would be eased.

Just thinking about our sim and how the mirror is set up, and the 
backing behind it matches the shape of the mirror pretty closely. I'm 
sure there are multiple reasons, but it stands to reason that one of 
them is to minimize the amount of volume you're drawing the vacuum on.

Food for thought.

It's not so much the volume as it is the vacuum required to stretch the 
Mylar in the desired shape.  Commercial systems have a smaller space 
because they build the Mylar framework as a single monolithic assembly 
that is perfectly air tight.  They can use a much smaller vacuum inlet 
that feeds a much lower CFM, but much higher draw vacuum pump.  Because 
our system is very (comparatively) "leaky", it takes a pretty stout CFM 
rating to keep the mirror formed properly, but not that much actual draw 
(if that makes any sense).  The max the Fein can pull is about 7.7PSI, 
which in the world of vacuum pumps is pretty weak.  The tiny vacuum pump I 
bought to test with can pull 25 inHG (Fein can do about 8 inHG) or roughly 
12psi.  Unfortunately the small vacuum pump has such a low CFM rating that 
it can't overcome the system losses AND hold the mirror shape.

We're going to be adding reinforcing ribs to the frame on Saturday to 
avoid deforming the back and we'll do some caulking & adjusting at that 
point to drop the losses as best we can.

If I could afford it, I'd just build one out of fiberglass.  That would be 
a pretty expensive undertaking though - especially when working with a 
plug mold that size. :)

If I can figure out how to export flat patterns out of this thing, 
SketchUp is going to hit the round file. :)

This is just a quick brain-fart until I get back from vacation. Thanks to circumstances I will explain in a later post, I had a chance to get my grubby little simulator-loving paws on what apparently is the world's first FAA-approved level 7 helicopter simulator (technically an FTD, actually, no motion). It was approved in 2009, here's a press release:

The flight was AWESOME, I will post pics and a more detailed "flight report" later. :) The thing that struck me the most was the visual system. It is not a "traditional" collimated display. Simply (or not so simply), it was a large, spherical, white matte surface that was projected on, with 8 pretty standard-looking projectors, offering a 200* horizontal by 70* vertical view. The depth perception and immersion was at LEAST as good, if not better, than the fancy collimated displays. I think I may try to do something like this with my sim, wondering if anyone has experimented with this? Seems fairly simple, except for figuring out overlap.....

Sounds coool, but as I had one too many (one time at controls for about 
2 mins) I cant chew gum, smoke, rub my stomach, and try to fly all at 
the same time. Will stay above the clouds, with that thing that has 
wings, and a power plant and does not require my left hand for anything 
but my throttle quad, and from time to time my gear lever!
But for the few that are that are brave oh well, not I.
BTW I also will not jump out of perfectly  good airplane! That is if it 
has a good glide ratio!
Later
on an other note: I have stopped updating my website 
www.phoenixcomm.net/~phnx2000/sim
and now Blogging @ phoenixcomm.wordpress.com
Enjoy.
Land Safe.

Great stuff Gene, it's looking great! Question: what are you doing about screen warping to handle the pin-cushion effect? Forgive me if this was discussed in an earlier post, up until now my main interest has been in the geometry and basic theory behind your rig. I'm just now getting into this myself, planning a somewhat simpler setup using a flat-white spherical projection screen with three projectors pointing at it directly (saw it last week in an AS350 heli sim at FlightSafety, which renewed my interest in this simple and somewhat more forgiving approach). I believe you would have the same kind of correction since you are rear-projecting onto that curved "little" screen.

How's your performance in X-Plane at such large resolutions required to drive the TH2Go on three displays?
