Hi to all,
I am thinking to build a view with only one projector, short distance or other. Can anybody say if a setup with just one projector is reasonable? The projector shall throw the outer view of a curved, white painted card-board or similar wall, maybe around 120° I guess…

I tried that also with 1 then 3 projectors. Now I am down to 3 led TVs.
A curved screen looks cool but has its downfalls. First you have to run a screen correction software and when you do that then your Buttons and desktop icons are there but as far as the computer is concerned in a different spot than they appear so its a guessing game as to where they actually are!
The Software is more expensive than MSFS 2020 Ultimate Edge Blending & Image Warping Software | ImmersaView.
If I was to do it again with projectors get a Ultra short throw. It only has to be 14" away from the screen. But you can buy 1 big LED 4k TV for what the projector cost. But A projector weighs nothing. So its a big trade off.
Thank you very much. I check all the possibilities, my favor is the solution with 3 displays in case MSFS next update will solve the problem wit multi display use.

You won’t get 120 degrees FOV around a semi-circular curve with one projector. And you couldn’t keep the whole of the screen in focus even if you could. The FOV per-projector is dependent on the screen diameter, the curve, and the projector’s throw ratio and zoom.
As an example, on a 2m-diameter semi-circular screen with short-throw projectors with max 2x zoom, I was able to cover about 100 degrees per projector and that gave me about 20 degrees of overlap in the center to blend the images for a 180 degree FOV with two projectors. Had I gone to a 3m diameter then I would have needed 3 projectors to cover the same area.
I think I would do a test with 2 projectors and build a wall with a diameter of 2m… I’ve done that before with 3 projectors, but I couldn’t get along with the software Fly-Elise, and my GPU was also funny… but thanks for the advices.

So I am looking for some guidance also. I have built a 180 degree curved screen and have two short throw projectors. And I was excited to see that Update 10 now has support for Multi Monitor. I downloaded the beta version and found that MS assumes that all users are going to have a three screen / projector setup. Has anyone found a way to adjust the horizontal axis of the main monitor to the left and add an additional display with a horizontal display to the right? In other words can someone setup MSFS2020 multi monitor with only two monitors / projectors?
Sorry if this question is in the wrong category.
Technically you should probably ask this in the Beta forum since this is an experimental preview feature, but I can answer the question: no, you can’t do what you want now.
This multi-monitor solution fundamentally assumes you always have a display directly in front of your eyepoint, and then you can add views to the left and right of that. You can add just one additional display but it has to be to the left of right of the main display; there is no way to set a translation so far. It also assumes that the correct eyepoint for each display is in the same place, and that’s how the rotational adjustments work. Otherwise the side display perspective will look off.
Hopefully it’s just the first iteration of a much more flexible system. But it’s clear that the ‘three monitors at diagonals’ configuration was what they had in mind here, and that’s all it really works for now.
Also, without full view frustum control, warping for the curve of the screen is never going to work properly. You can’t eyeball this even with a product like Immersive Display Pro.
Hye the Community 
OK for 3 TV, Center, Left and Right with SU10.
So, is it possible to add an another TV on the TOP of the Center ( for Overhead ) ?
TOP TV
LEFT TV. CENTER TV . RIGHT TV
Next question of course, is A Down TV for the Pedestral possible ?
TOP TV
LEFT TV. CENTER TV . RIGHT TV
DOWN TV
Regard’s
No. You can only add views to the left and right and only a maximum of 3 in total. What you want to do would require the camera system to do things that it cannot do now. And I imagine that it would drop FPS to single-digits even if it could.
I would assume that any scenario beyond three screens as described will not be possible any time soon, certainly not in the SU10 timeframe.
Tks a lot for your answer.
ok, step by step, i wait for SU10 for the triple screen so.
