@ Lionman: SH3 definitely wouldn't work with a triple display

. I can't wait to get my hands on a Head Tracker but I'll wait 2-3 more years to get enough side money to make myself a good DirectX 12 rig with a metal cockpit and the best joysticks on the market. You might want to keep an eye on the progress of the HMD's.(Head Mounted Display). There are a few nice ones out there at very low prices but their resolution is very low (<800x600). This year the prices will drop to around 250$ for an HMD with 800x600 resolution and a 35 degree screen. I reckon that in 2 years max we will have an HD version with 60 degrees HMD. That is the limit of what your eye can focus on such devices. Note that all will have 3D and head tracking included. But they still will not allow you to rotate your eyes inside the device, you still need to look "forward". The real breakthrough will be in (i hope) 4-5 years when the current 20-30.000 $ professional HMD's will become cheap and widespread. I can't wait for it

. Just imagine playing the next IL-2 with that

Full 160 degrees vision OMG111

@Seadler: Can you makeobjects appear outside the 1024/768 box? Also, can you load in a wide image to fill the screen?
