My cockpit project - Attila

[Maik Peters]

aaahhh common... the thing you already have a whole globe would like to have.. so don't be hurt

You'll be just fine

[Jacco Cornelissen]

That is really the best you can get
How much is it :sign0021:

[Gareth Hickling]

Have you tried Track IR ?
I always wondered if track IR would be better than 3 monitors?,
Aww hell have the 3 monitors AND track IR!

[Attila Domján]

no, Trackir i do not like even the idea, i like to have fix picture for precision driving.

If u r worried with TV frame think about Fresnel Lens. Enlarge monitor image, it is effectively disappear monitor FRAME for multi monitor setup by using 2 or 3 lenses. Before i buy my actual tv i was also thinking in a set of 3 monitors combined with fresnel lens. About Fresnel i have a doubt in one thing, i don't know if this will reduce the quality of the image.

nah this is funny, finally i got an answer mail for my questions, here is the result:
- price: 19 995 USD
- minimum order qty: 10 pcs

I guess i will drop the idea, not sure yet... looooooooooooooool

[Attila Domján]

hmmm, i was just beginning to wonder, if i have 2 pcs 8800 Ultra with 4 DVI output, do i need anyhow the Matrox TripleHead2Go to handle 3 monitors? Does it make sense?

I don't know this, but i think you still need it because your the driver is limited to 2 monitors, the system sees your cards as one card, they are connected in SLI.

[Attila Domján]

oki, thanks Marcel.

In regards to TripleHead2Go compatibility with SimBin titles, see Matrox - Surround Gaming - Press - Testimonial

[Attila Domján]

ok, as my birthday is approaching fast (this weekend lol) i ordered the TH2G digital version and the VPP upgrade monitor stand for 3 monitors.

The monitors itself still not decided yet, but will come.

[Attila Domján]

Wow, hats off to Matrox, i am impressed!

Yesterday at 11 CET i placed my order on the internet together with the payment, today 13 CET it is arrived to my home in Hungary, starting from Ireland. Thats what i call speed!

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

So it was send to you with 200 FPS

[Christopher Aponte]

looool
that is indeed some great service

[Mehmet Arikan]

hmm ähm is ireland a european country ... or the capital from hungary lol

[Attila Domján]

hmmm, 3 monitors i pick up on Friday on my way to home, so at the weekend i think i will do some testing already for them

Rack expansion will come just later, earliest next week somewhere, so the final setup needs to wait a bit...

[Peter Eriksson]

That is going to be very matrix Attila, me like

[David Garcia]

Atti, when ready, post pictures of that! :jumping:

[Attila Domján]

[Ramon van Rijn]

[Attila Domján]

First official on-site footage

[Attila Domján]

nah, 3 monitors are standing at Hungary with my secondary PC, i will post pics later, but i can tell you , racing is a blast!!!!!

I have one porblem, not too concerned yet since it is not setup atm with the final PC, but i cant get the Matrox software working, to adjust the Bezel management, after installation asking for a PC restart, done nicely, and when restarting, and after all the time i want to start up the main Matrox software i get a Windows error message, that invalid display name. Any ideas?

Other then that the unit is plug and play, really nice surround feeling, i have to adjust my thinking during driving a bit where is the side of the car and where is the track sometimes still...
