[simpits-tech] Expanded visual system test

[Sean Galbraith]

I used to have a front and an *up* view in an older generation of my
Skyhawk sim(s)... it was pretty cool when you were cranking it around a
turn ;-)

Im convinced flat panels are definately best for a fighter sim and
curved screens for airliners. 

 

I may try to add an overhead view later in the year, if I can make it
work with the angles of my side screens. In a tight turn straight up is
exactly the spot to look to see where youre going.

the side screens are actually the same size as the center screen.

	The system they outline there is very likely what I'm going to
use for the F-15C as it'll give me 360 degrees horizontal display as
well overhead.
