Default simulator makes local news

I see three projectors. Unless they have very special lenses indeed,
I don't see how they can project clear images onto curved screens.


Setting up the over-lap between the screens so that it doesn't look
weird must be a tricky affair, indeed.

(Gears turning...where can I mount a curved screen? Whey can I even
*buy* a curved screen? :-)

The biggest problem should be eliminating "keystoning" so that the overlap
can be eliminated; and more expensive projectors should include that
adjustment. Then the unused area, after having eliminated the overlap,
should just appear as a dark vertical line.

I didn't spend enough time to look at the specifics of the simulator used in
the clip; but the annunced identified it as a Frasca TdruFlite simuator and
the Frasca website: http://www.frasca.com/ with the display options shown
