PDC172 Comes Alive

Today has been a very significant day.  Apart from the All Blacks winning the Rugby World Cup, it's also bee the day that I've fired up the Beast (the name of my Flight Sim computer) for the first time while it's connected to the data projectors and the monitors in the cockpit.

This is just a Cessna cockpit, but what it shows is that the interfacing is working, but there's a long way to go to get it fully up and running

To remind you, I've built a 180^o curved screen and, although I've still got to get the position of  the projectors right, this image shows that the principles are right.  I will need  to get warping software in order to get the perspective right on the screens....sadly this software is not cheap from what I can see - $400-500 - ouch!
