We are using three projectors to project our flight simulation onto three
separate screens ,all having the same aspect ratio. Our MCO is set to
1280x1024 center screen resolution, and 640x480 left and right screen
resolution.

We are unable to make the center screen edge match the side screen edge. In
other words, center view and left or right view edges do not line up.

We ran without the MCO (to the monitor) and the edges matched but as we rolled
the horizon did not remain parallel across both screens. The right view had a
larger roll angle than the center view.

Within Performer, we set each chan to have a horizontal FOV of 45 degrees and a
default vertical FOV. We set the side channels to have a 45 degree horizontal
offset.

We tried playing with the FOV and offset to make the views match but shouldn't
Performer align the views as long as the FOV are the same for each channel and
the offsets are correct?

Any ideas?
