but i cant remember what its called. It's just 3 LCDS stuck edge to edge with no case separating them.

Something like this..

I don't think that is 3 LCD's glued into eachother.
It is ONE screen, it's new technology.. costs like 5 million..

lol imagine playing FPS (first person shooters) games with a screen like that.
Today FPS gamers must have fast reaction times, be fast with moving the mouse, etc.
Then a new thing would get added: how fast you can turn your head sideways.

I cant find a pic. But it was three monitors cause they were each set at 10 degrees angle making a angular curve. All on one stand with a built in tripple-head2go

But everything else seems to be built as one screen.
The stand for example ^^

i actually tried out a free software (Freetrack) with some hand made hardware that worked very well - but in lfs... well it just didnt feel right. I got the sensation of floating around inside the car and since i didnt fell any G-forces, i was horrible at driving. Ofc the real TrackIR got better precision, but this aint a subject of discussion, freetrack worked as well as needed, it was me not having the feel of the car while using this. TrackIR is very good thing, but totally unnecesary in car games. For pilot sim's id say its lovely thought.

That system is interesting the way you move your head and the head in the game moves, but i have a question thats bothering me. If you were trying to look downwards on the screen you would have to move your head down wouldnt you, but then how would you see the screen if you're looking downwards?? :wink: Lol.
I don't have a signature, cause i'm awesome like that.

The same way that you still can look at the screen while turning your head. You still keep your eye on the monitor while move your head. This means that you have to move your head less than your character does ingame. High sens, in short words.

Unless you use like 11 LCD moniters or something. One on the celling, one on the floor, 9 to circle around you. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!!!111lolBBQ
