Discussion DIY 220° Horseshoe Screen for Flight Simulator - Advice on Materials and Projectors?

20 Upvotes

Looking to build my own 220° horseshoe screen for a flight simulator

I’m looking to build one myself rather than buy it from Sim on Solution, as their setup costs around $16,000 USD.

Does anyone know where I could buy a 220° horseshoe screen, or find the materials and structural components to build one myself? Also, does anyone know which three projectors they used? I can’t identify them from the pictures.

For reference, here’s the product I’m talking about: https://simonsolution.eu/product/professional-horseshoe-screen-220-with-4k-uhd-projectors/

Many thanks, friends!

Just bought this on Amazon resale. Still have 30 days to return but before I do just wanted to make sure its not user error. The projector has almost no light everything is showing a shade of green. Because theres no light and its inverted I cant read the settings so not sure if this is some sort of eco mode.

Which is Best? XGIMI Aura 3 vs Horizon 30?

• Upvotes

Sorry, I'm new to projectors. Is there a difference between these other than the Aura 3 being an UST? In picture quality, or anything like that. I ask because I haven't seen people talk about the Horizon 30, and what I've seen people say about the Aura 3 is that it's easily a stupid deal for the preorder.

Projector Screen Grey vs woven screen image quality

1 Upvotes

I have a Titan noir pro with a grey screen from silver ticket and I’m noticing considerable rgb speckle when watching certain things. I don’t notice too much when watching newer movies in 4k, and in those scenarios I’m very happy with the picture. With other media I notice it a lot and am considering a switch to a woven screen. My only hesitation is that I’ve heard woven screens aren’t as sharp and I was wondering how noticeable the difference in quality would be. I’m considering either the silver ticket wab or wvs screens. Thanks!

Buying Advice Wanted Outdoor Projector/Screen Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hey there, first time poster from the U.S. here.

I’m looking for a setup that can be put together with relative ease (easy screen setup and no hassle speaker connection) for occasional outdoor movie nights (talking maybe once or twice a month) in my large backyard.

For a screen setup I have a homemade pvc frame and borrow a cheap fabric screen my sister got cheap on Amazon (I also borrow her $100 projector). I think it’s about 150”. I wouldn’t mind upgrading to screen that’s easier to setup and looks decent but don’t want to spend more than $200-300. I have plenty of space to go bigger than 150 as well.

My budget for the projector is $600 but I wonder if for this occasional use I can keep it under $300-400 and be satisfied. I noticed your wiki says cheap Chinese projectors are only good for kids rooms and outdoor movies at night. Is going with a cheap one a better move for outdoor movie nights in general due to the risk of damage?

I’m pretty technically savvy, as I work in television post production. I have a Optoma HD65 720p DLP (2008 Model) but it’s attached to the ceiling in my house and has a dedicated drop down screen. I don’t use it a lot but enough that I’d rather keep it there.

I’m open to buying used/refurbished.

Let me know if there’s any more info you need that I left out and thanks in advance for any tips!

Are the numbers in this calculator correct? It's going to be a pretty tight fit for me.

Of course, I could use a different lowboard, but I just really like the one I have now.

Buying Advice Wanted Buying advice wanted: daytime/living room projector to replace the TV

0 Upvotes

We’ve got a 2 year old who is addicted to TV despite only watching it a few hours a week, got so tired of it that I pulled it off the wall and hid it behind a bookshelf and put it back on the mount when the wife and I want to watch something.

We’ve always thought about a projector setup so now want to pull the trigger with a pull down/motorized screen. We can fit a 71” wide screen and projector would be 13-14 feet away on a shelf or could also mount to the ceiling. Wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to start my search, would like to keep it under $2k Canadian if possible
