Just checking in to let people know I'm still around and actively working on things.
The setup I'm currently using has a single AMD Eyefinity video card (5870 E6) and two 720p projectors (Optoma GT720). It's capable of doing 180 degree projection with just two projectors. I have a few videos...
I hope to document the screen and projector mounting design in a bit more detail in the next month or so. There really isn't much guts to the screen setup. Most of it is merely just applying concepts to a few Home Depot materials and DIY building it. My setups have evolved from NVIDIA three...
Yep, I mostly just volunteer forum staff for them. They subcontracted me out for a bunch of conventions in the last year. CES was a mind blowing week to experience (especially when I didn't have to pay for it). Working AMD events promoting Eyefinity are major fun both during the events and...
I thought I'd poke my head back in and see how things are going with Orbiter. In the last year it's been quite a ride for me when it comes to simulator visuals. October 2010 AMD contacted me to help with the 6000-series video card launch in L.A., then they promoted the current version of my...
The Saitek looks like a better build quality than the Logitech. Looking at pictures and using are 2 different matters though. Anyone want to buy me both so I can find out? :rofl:
I've been toying aroun with racing sims mostly lately. Just picked up a Fanatec Turbo S wheel and the clubsport...
The 9500 card would be better than the 9100 integrated. Both processing speed and ram are equally important. You shouldn't trade off one for the other. The limit is a 32-bit OS limit. If you get the 64-bit version you'll be able to properly use the memory. They pro-rate the memory ability...
Neither graphics cards (9100 integrated or the 9500) are good for anything other than desktop work. You need to have a video card with at least 96SP for it to be even considered mid-range card anymore. You want a 8800GS/9600GSO at the very least for video. Preferably a GTS250 or GTX260...
That's my reasoning too. I know Vent and Teamspeak and am conforable with them. I'm also confortible with IRC. We needn't reinvent the wheel on everything. All we need to really do is just do a proper job of integration. A prime example of voip integration gone wrong is in Eve Online. They went...
That mention of RockSim cad app earlier in the thread looks like a good starting point for you. I'm pretty impressed with the app, looking over it for about 5 minutes.
VoIP is beyond the scope of PoC, but is something that could be bolted on later as needed. I only mentioned it because we were bringing up methods of chat.
The reason why I find IRC appealing is that you could interact with people outside the scope of the MMO server. For example, I have IRC...
