Spherical Projection and DCS

[krassyg]

Three 50" and one 85" displays would give me this for a few million less than what the navy probably paid for these:

 

I would have thin black borders which I can live with. The problem is interfacing with DCS; I would need some kind of a spherical video wall processor. Zooming out in DCS would hopefully allow me to fill the screens without too much distortion. Will also need to resize and move the top video since the top display will be bigger than the side ones. Any other flight sim nuts out there that have looked into this?

You can buy very expensive software. Look up the Warthog Project on YouTube.

compared to the investment in hardware it's not that expensive.

Thank you guys; this might work.

There are some older threads on here where a couple of guys did cube builds and others, I think it was @BHawthornewho knows a lot about projectors who gave a lot of information, if it wasnt his build and also I think they were using simpit.co.nz.

 

The A-10 Cube projector project??

 

Perhaps a thread search, but there is definitely something on here similar to what your picture shows.

The Warthog Project doesn’t have a top view, but it still looks way more seamless than the setup in the OP.
