Hope you get a channel sponsor soon, your setup is sick

Well done fella, this is really nice... just some finishing issues that you already know about. The hard work and dedication to this shouldn't go unnoticed and you chose to spend money where it counted for you. I love VR but can't afford it, if a giant pile of money fell in my lap though, it would be spent on a nice wrap around setup such as yours along with all the hard work that goes with it! Be proud and looking forward to seeing some more in game footage!

Looks amazing. Having been a flight sim nerd back in the 90s and only recently getting back into it, I could never have imagined we'd be here today. I have a pretty modest set up but loving the hobby so much I wonder which path I'll go down in the future. I'm using a cheap head tracker and really like it with a 4k screen, but I've also tried a friend vr which is incredibly emersive but lacks fidelity. I think I'll wait a few years to see where the tech goes before making a decision, but my feeling is that vr will be much much better in 10 years with good pass through to use a home cockpit.

Sir, absolutely well done and thank you for sharing the experience and build. As a space sim devotee, in my view if you can increase the size, great. Each to their own and again very well done.

Excellent job! Some years ago made my own projection screen using the diy maxxmudd paint formuler with silver added. It turned out amazing as I could use the screen in the daytime or with the lights on but obviously looked amazing in a dark room. When experimenting with the paint initially I had a light grey paint mix but settled on quite a dark grey mix. Thought it was too dark at first with the projector off but with the projector on everything looked perfect even the whites. The benefit of having the darker grey was that the blacks were even deeper and more "tv like", much better for space sims. The projector settings are just as important for fine tuning as I found I could tweak the advanced settings to get the blacks looking even better without crushing the dark details so well worth experimenting. Good luck man.

Very nice will done, Who haven't dreamed of such a setup. I must say I'm past 50 and I'm at that age I might be able to afford such a setup. One of my main problems is the heat and the noise it will make. I have spend years with a lot of Computer fan noise to cool my PC's and the heat that becomes a major problem in the summer. The last few years, I have a totally silent water-cooled PC with 14 fan's and 2 pumps. And for me it was really shocking, that I could relax and have no fan noise around me for hours. I used to go to bed after hours of gaming with a buzz in my head or have pressure and a warm head from the headphones.

Paint all the walls darker (black or dark grey) to not have return reflected light to the projector screens, you will get better contrast. Also you can paint the creens a little bit gray, you can find some paint mixes over the internet to get better screen contrast

Wish i had some type of storage built in with the house i have. Maybe in the next house that will be a big thing for me to consider.

That's awesome! In my setup, I had the Optoma short throws from 2015/6, but they weren't 4k lol. As for the bright overlap in the middle of the screen, there should be a setting that will adjust the brightness of the light there, but I can't say for sure. I only used Simpit Warp, but since both programs are basically similiar, it should be there... somewhere lol The paint, Black widow is dang good!

Awesome work, buddy! Keep up the good work. I'm actually working towards a similar project myself, so your video was quite inspirational. Can I ask what model of Optima projectors you chose for your sim? Do you struggle with sharpness warping between the edges of each of the projected images and the center of each image? I imagine the projector optics is optimized for a flat surface, so I wonder if projecting onto a curved surface could call for some compromises on the overall sharpness.

I actually didn't manage to solve the middle gap issue that well. Might end up re-painting the screen with darker paint and fixing it there.
