Screen for flight sim - used metal stud framing. Will plan on filling in extra space with additional screen as needed

Looks good. How is the metal stud framing for the screen frame? Are they easy to work with? I've only used tubing or wood for frames so far.

Metal stud framing is ok. It's razor sharp to handle. The corners required making strategic cuts on the inside of the framing - which resulted In the ability to constantly " bend " it. I'll post some photos.

Screen is 3mm pvc foam sheets. I'm happy with the flexibility of the sheets at that thickness.

Hrrm, the material looks pretty sharp on the edges. I'll probably stick to lumber on my next screen experiment design. Interesting material use though. It's the first time I've seen someone use it. I like those kind of designs because I get to learn new things from other's builds.

Can anyone help with locating the "blend alignment" screen on all three projectors instead of only 1 as shown? Just installed Nthusim.

Thank you

Nthusim still requires a spanning mode be used. In the case of AMD you would enable Eyefinity 3x1.

Thanks. I thought it was already spanned 3x1 but, it wasn't.
