[simpits-tech] Projection screens play a vital role more than you'd think... list submisson

[Rob Hommel]

Frank:

With all respect to the Falcon community, simpits does not represent a single piece of software for simulation. There are several other simulators which do allow for multiple views. Falcon may in the future allow for this possibility should another software development company pick up on this most successful software. As for a dome it can still be used for falcon if you had examined some of the links which I provided, you may have noticed that.:) The ability to warp an image for dome projection is possible, it is not cheap however the cost for the hardware and software for this is about $4000 us, not including dome. This can be accomplished however with a single projector. 

The failure of Falcon to handle multiple views should not a requirement for Falcon users to explore the possibilities of such construction. The biggest limitation to pit construction should allow for the exploration of new technologies which allow for the implementation of the newer technologies. 

Kevin projector screens may indeed be the best, I will have to take your word on that as I have no experience with them. Kevin told us that his projector screens "allows is a projector image that is up to 2,000% brighter than if a matte white screen had been used in  a well lit environment." This claim is one which should not be taken lightly,nor ignored, it is an extraordinary statement ,. I hope that Kevin will tell us more about how this is accomplished. Frank if you are a user of his screens please feel free to write a bit about your experience. I would look forward to learning about your experience with this product as well. There is a great deal to said about optical systems in pit construction and it has been a subject that frequently comes up withing the list.

Keep 'em Flying
