We Played Microsoft Flight Simulator on our 10-Foot Video Wall

[@winchesterkid]

Turn off the lights and leave only the screen as source of light. I don’t know how anyone plays games or watches movies in a lit room.

[@EMDRONES]

@@winchesterkid it’s just for the video

[@Sphyraminx]

Watching tv or playing a game in the dark can strain your eyes because your eyes have to adjust to constantly changing light levels from the screen. Having at least one light on around your screen can alleviate this problem because it helps maintain a more consistent light level in the room.

[@OfficialSheffieldCouncil]

@@winchesterkid you’ll strain your eyes doing that. Which is why no one does it.

[@nawnaw4709]

You realy want to f up your eyes

[@degenancap]

i guess you can't pay to go to the damn cinema so you have to watch shit in your bedroom on your PC with the lights out and volume at max...peak pleb activity

[@KiaTallon2]

So this is where you, "Get The Thing" Seth.

[@knuclear200x]

Ive always wanted to play games on those Jumbotron screens you see in sports stadiums. There was even an ad for that somewhere

[@SCAMDEMIC2023]

That's effing sick

[@JonnyIenco]

Very cool. You should do it again with Flight Simulator 2024 that is being released today

[@martincastaneda8574]

Wow, hobbies in the future are going to be wild. "Hey grandpa can we play on your fight sim or gt car sim."

[@whammo11224]

Grandpa will be the only one who can afford it!

[@RicoHarding]

Bruh theyll be laughing their asses of by that time. "Did you really sit like that to play flight sims Grandpa?" *Grand son opens up a portal from his watch and enters flight sim*

[@scheeseman486]

It requires a dedicated room with controlled lighting, but provided you have that then gaming capable projectors are quite affordable. I have a BenQ TK710STi projected onto a 120" screen, it's only 1080p (though has a pixel shift 4K/60 mode which looks great for UHD movies) but honestly, the 1080p at 240hz on a large format screen is incredible looking, I'd choose the higher framerates any day. It only cost a couple thousand if going the DIY route.

[@angelofthelight1]

I use an laser projector from epson on a "Grey screen" against reflecting. You can be on day, you will still see what you are watching. The set up together can be expensive but Laser projector combined with the good screen are incredible, and the sound of my epson is like cinema. I got my screen on nothingprojector. I can tell you, i wont move back on tv that's for sure. Also on my case i live in EU, and screen locally here (France) for projector cost ridiculously alot for not even being against reflection. My screen from nothingprojector costed 900€, while in France it's over 1k for less quality.

[@angelofthelight1]

My screen in living room is 10foot too. At begining i was having eyes pains cuz you are forced to watch more around, but it's the best gaming or movie experience to get. Once you get used to it, you want bigger xD The kind of circle that never end.

[@GazGoodtime]

Once you get used to it, you want bigger, thats what my gf says 😒

[@danoboy19]

Sick I can’t wait until you guys do a review of different flight sticks

[@user.asleep]

I have the turtle beach yoke since 2 years ago. I just want the thrustmaster tca captain pack now 😍

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

VR is way more immersive.

[@TerribleMighty1]

You know it’s good when you have to actually move your head to look around

[@FordSierraIS]

depends on the FOV

[@DOGOID]

I do that on a 1440P Ultrawide.

[@TrueBlade-1889]

Scale it down, so it's real-world dimensions. That's the only immersive way to do it. Sometimes less is more.

[@RandomHajile-j7z]

I have a laser UST projector with a 120" screen in my small city apartment. I'll never buy a regular TV again, if I can help it.

[@aquamich129]

Nice vidéo: correction: Airbus is not only n°1 competitor from france (acually is more than franc but france + many european countries), but the n°1 in the world for comemrcial airplane. Boeing is not anymore the company it used to be sadly

[@its3Dinmymind]

Wouldn't it be more fun playing in bad conditions?

[@steveozone4910]

7/10 experience!

[@officialeciy]

"Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 looks visually stunning, but the performance is incredibly slow-feels like they prioritized graphics over optimization. Disappointing for such a highly anticipated release."

[@Jmacfann]

Oh the quality control on the Boeing edition is pretty lax, sometimes they just leave random bolts off.

[@eliapavoni2275]

Just use VR man, way more immersive and it's even cheaper, since i started using VR with sims i can't go back to the monitor, even if it's that big

[@Mikinct]

Can you or have you ever tried using a affordable 1x2 video wall controller with Xbox series s? Think that may work, cant see why it wouldnt

[@Aragorn7884]

What else can you watch on that...? 🤔😏

[@dealwolfstriked272]

I find that on a small 27in monitor that when I place my monitor 12in away from my face I get a placebo VR effect. Like if its 13 in and more I start to lose the feeling of being in a cockpit. What sucks is its a pain as I fly on my desk and feel so cramped because I need the monitor to be right up in my face and it causes feeling of being cramped BUT when I move my monitor back past that sweet spot I lose the VR placebo effect I get. There are a lot of videos for setting monitor distance for racing sims but in planes you get the same effect yet its rarely mentioned. Thinking of getting a 32in to replace my 27in as the same effect can be had but I can place monitor further away from my face.

[@Optim121]

You're going to get back problems like that just invest in vr

[@JCOH-TV]

That’s basically just flying a plane lol

[@Smorgasvord]

Not really.

[@petebagwell6666]

Could of just played in vr

[@VRnamek]

except it's flat and you look to the sides and it's your room...

[@Optim121]

Not at all

[@ritchiexx3337]

What about the honeycomb is this also good or better ?

[@casstephens3124]

I did that with a projector back in 1998. hahaha

[@emarcel-l4i]

You apparently never tried VR in a headset of quality like the PIMAX Crystal. :D you scale is a way too big...

[@AviationNoor]

microsoft flight sim releasing in about an hour or two

[@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo]

Seems like ign did this to swamp the algorithm against 2024

[@GamesGuyz]

They gave it a 7

[@BayouBassmaster_top_6]

This is just an ad for thrustmaster

[@schadenfreude6274]

Thanks Captain Obvious! 🙂

[@DeroRealDeal]

What was used to project the 10 ft screen?

[@Bellthorian]

The build quality on that Thrustmaster yoke and throttle is so cheap, it is insane what they are charging for it. With all the great products from companies like Verpil, Win Wing, etc there is NO REASON to ever buy a Thrustmaster product.

[@mattspeer01]

Yeah TM is trash.

[@valadezjose47]

Does it have a trim wheel?

[@imgnku]

Does it have a faulty mcas built in to the controls for added realism?

[@WakeMeWhenItsOver]

Is there an August 2001 version?

[@nibelungvalesti]

Bro needs to find a more reputable company to work for. IGN is sham

[@jrolson85]

Someones got NASA internet speeds...

[@V3ntilator]

It works on a normal fiber line. Doesn't need anything special.

[@Nighthunt01]

if people actually understood the real speeds that are actually used for things on the internet...... companies selling 1+ gigabit internet is mostly pointless scam for general public, no servers use all that bandwidth. for example 4K Netflix maxes out at about 30 Mbps so that is 970 Mbps unused on a 1 Gigabit connection, online multiplayer games use a lot less bandwidth. the thing that does matter more is if it is fiber in order to have a good stable connection to servers

[@V3ntilator]

It's true for the most part, but Steam, UBI Soft, EA etc. can provide at least 1.Gigabit download speed. As for online gaming, video streaming etc. not even close to 100.MB is needed.

[@marcosavila8215]

is always a bit cringe watching sponsored videos, in this case the controllers , for me doesn't work

[@schadenfreude6274]

Is there a August 2001 version? Asking for a Friend who cannot eat Pork. 🙂

[@NewMateo]

Just get a vr at this point. It's wild that VR costs way less than that wall and is way more immersive

[@celestinelocsin]

whoa

[@MDXZFR]

Screen looks too big for a real plane or it's fine?

[@rafleg4630]

From his point of view it feels good, although with a projector the size of the image could be modified as needed

[@SaffronHorizon]

Now you can experience aerophobia right in your living room

[@thewerst8346]

half ass immersion or just throw on a vr headset for full at 10th the price. 4k Oled glasses are available as well. I had a 15 foot projected screen 10 years ago.

[@penumbrum3135]

Yeah. Doesn't matter how big the screen, you will never have proper depth perception without using VR headsets.

[@billiondollarman3847]

7 !!! 🛩️✈️🛫🛬💺🎮🕹️

[@MichaelBohemian]

Still not as good as using a VR headset.

[@jediknightking]

Fahrenheit 451 anyone…

[@suripto746]

Xbox is making money so much

[@Sky-gt4fp]

IGN sucks

[@2531Prasad]

what a joke, at this point get a VR headset. You'll be playing on 200" stereoscopic 3D for cheaper than whatever this thing costs

[@AninoNiKugi]

Some people don't like wearing a headset all the time and/or getting fully disconnected from reality. VR obviously gives the best immersion but you can still have it from a big screen 😄

[@MrKnowledgeMrPDS]

If you spent 200$ on this you.would be better of spending that on like an OF creator like Killjoywinters or buying some damn new Mexico desert property
