David, the physical screen segments will be broken down into 11.25 or 22.5 
degree slices in order to make it more efficient to make parts for. 
That's how I did the larger one.  The FOV for each projector is completely 
under the control of the software.  For example, Ivar Hestness' 737 
project is using a 225 degree physical screen using 3 projectors that show 
75 degree slices of view using un-docked windows.  The NThusim gang 
recently added a feature to their software that would clip the pixel or 
two wide border that appears when an un-docked window in MSFS has the 
input focus.
