Fresnel lense

[Ritsaartje]

HI,

Can some one give me some information, pictures or other resources about The Fresnel lense?
I only know that it creates depth in the sim. Where can I buy it? I only know this place: http://www.rcsimulations.com/switch.htm

No. Altough the lens have cuts, they will give you a clear continous image as the ones from an overhead projector (same lens). But if your screen resolution is low, you will amplify all the ugly pixels in the instruments.

Be sure to check the "cabina" link our friend provided you. You will find plenty additional info there for the two monitor setup.

The setup used by Francisco only use the fresnel for the 3D window. The Full screen 2D panel is left untouched (I prefer this setup to the Capt/FO side by side monitor setup)

Be sure to check this article at microwings. It is an old one (FS5 times) but it is useful as reference.

The distortion in the pic was due the camera position.
