well, what can I say, on max setting, 4xAA it still runs alright (some cockpits are more FPS heavy, but in most I get 20-ish FPS when on ground/runway, which I find alright, up in air 30-50 I think, so it's quite playable. This TV has really good image and color reproduction... those 2 stuck pixels I have, only 1 is visible on dark image, the other I haven't noticed at all when flying... so it's not that bad as I first though it will be. The TV position (me looking at center of the screen) is now very natural... and setting FoV in game to match real live FoV is pretty good, its easier to see aircraft (visual) in dogfight, and reading instruments is as easy as it gets, everything in cockpit is crisp clear... now I wish I could get 2 more and put them to left and right side :D (but no $$$ for that, or PC power to run it ;) ) Overall, its was still a worth purchase... I can imagine what it would feel like to have VR (Oculus looking at you) to have as clear image as this TV, and more FoV... it would have to be surreal and can't wait for that next :)

yes

make this temporary sticky :)

... and then crash ;)

Those give it character ;)

who you calling ugly? :)

May she sell as good as real life production numbers of the Fishbed!

I AM SECOND!!!! WOOOHOOO!

nice tool, tonight I finished most of the changes on my flying setup, fixed the TV lower and little closer (my head is now looking at center of the screen and with TV on desk I was looking at bottom 1/4 of the screen... much better and more natural viewing)... works out I have around 77° FoV now, I'm gonna use that in DCS :)

With 3x 27" I used up until now, I had 60 deg FoV for each viewport/monitor. Minimal stretching with still fairly wide view. Now with the 58" TV I thought I could go higher but with 70 deg and more the stretching starts to show more noticeable (for me anyway). Lxsaper, with single monitor/viewport, the game always zooms out a bit when mission starts... It gets to higher FoV then what I would set.... centering the view with num5 resets the view to the values that are specified in SnapViews.lua file which includes FoV also. With 3 view ports and the game doesn't zoom out.

Yes, sadly it's still not fixed :(

I set it in that Saved Games\DCS\Config\View\SnapViews.lua file... section 13, that one is default view setting when you enter aircraft.

107° default FoV? :huh: Can't be that high, I think most aircraft have around 70-80° default FoV. I have set 80° for all aircraft, but then the game zooms out a bit also, so likely it ends up bit more... it could be I zoomed out tad more with mouse scroll wheel to try wider FoV so I saw the stretching again (which I hate), I have a feeling you don't use too high FoV (definitely not 107°) if you say you don't see any stretching on edges.... heck I even saw it on instruments down low (the round gauges didn't look circular towards bottom of the screen). But anyway, I have taken everything apart 2 days ago and I am slowly changing my flying setup so I can't check anything now as everything is all over the place in the house :music_whistling: so I can't tell you exactly what I've done or re-check again... I hope I get it connected again coming weekend... still thinking how I'm gonna mount the TV to the flying setup and ditch the table it was on (don't need it any more).

Marked on the calendar :)

Can't sit too close, I think I am about 1m away from the screen.

My thoughts also... why some people only think how they can win easier and not how they can win more realistic :pilotfly:I would love to be able to have full blown dome and have to turn my head to where I need to look, even Wags has said that with Oculus Rift the feeling for geometry in the fight is much better... why wouldn't you want that? I would take that over TrackIR any time.

Yes, I will probably have to reduce FoV to 70° or so.

With exact same game settings, it runs bit better... Not by a lot but it's better. I think it's because even though it's more pixels to run it's only 1 viewport vs 3 I had before. After going onto settings I found out my PC sees this tv as 2 monitors, in eyefinity. The image on the tv is really good I have to say that... But I am bit unlucky as within 30 min of having it on, I saw 2 stuck pixels ... I can't be bothered to go and return it for another one so I'll just live with it (but this is not nice considering I paid good money for it... I guess 8million pixels or so it has there is good chance some could be faulty... It's just my luck I guess. One thing I don't like now is the stretching the game makes when having bit higher FoV... Everything has some trade off. I have started to change my flying setup more, I want to fix the tv bit lower (on desk it sits too high) I'll try putting one of the 27" bit below the tv to see if it's good extracting instruments on it... So no PC use for a few days for me. Was it worth it? I am not really sure to be honest, The image is really excellent... At 80 deg FoV everything is nice and clear and readable, and cockpit feels more life-size... I just dislike the DCS stretching on sides with higher FoV, the tv price and those damn 2 stuck pixels... And I feel bit guilty for spending so much on my hobby...

yes, someone does know :smilewink:

Its model: TC-58AX800U: http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-58AX800U

damn it... after reading this thread (and thinking about it before also) today I went out and got me a 58" 4K TV, I was bit scared to get one that can't run 60Hz through HDMI so I got one that has Display Port... it wasn't cheap though (which is why I said "damn it" first)... I haven't connected it yet (or turned on) but the image i saw on it in the shop was so perfect I said, what the heck... YOLO :D I'll be changing my triple 27" setup very soon, this thing better we worth it... if not, I just got myself a quite expensive TV which I rarely watch (I either sit on the PC or watch movies on projector screen) PS: things like this also make me realise I have entered that dreaded mid-life crisis... it's as bad as people have said it would be... you want to try to live your life and enjoy the things you couldn't afford when you were young(er) but now you can, before you get even older and can't... what the heck, right?

meh, I want MiG-29 (any version) but for this ... I voted F-111

^^^ I don't look like this but most certainly have the same look when reading this. I like the "...people with mouse having advantage..."... priceless :D

sorry but that just looks weird :)

I don't think anyone is using 2 monitors side-by-side because the bezel will be right at the middle of the HUD and you don't want that... it's surely possible but I doubt you would want that.
