Check out this flight simulator setup. The first link takes you to what you can do and the second link gives more examples plus tells you how to buy the underlying software.

you can even download a demo plugin of it
you may note from the date stamps on those pictures that this is old stuff, we've all seen it a few times here at teh DBB already. but everytime i see it i still wish i had a setup like it

Hadn't noticed the date stamps. Sorry if this is old news.

I like the seat belt on the chair. So when will someone come out with a flexible screen in like 8 foot lengths so you can replace all those monitors?

I assume you mean "shudder".
A Shutter is something you close to protect your windows.
The most monitors I've ever seen devoted to Flight Simulator is 27.
Point of Fact: Descent 3 can't be rendered on more than a single screen.

Exactly.
Oh BTW, your sheep called. It wants you to come home.

Thanks for the link! As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to try to set this up at a club day that's coming up... I wonder if you have to have FS2004 installed on every computer....

Not exactly true. I've had it rendered on three screens. Granted, there's no increase to the FOV, but it's much BIGGER.

46,080,000 Pixels? Damn I want one of those! Nevermind that I would need to upgrade to a SLI rig and have a spare PCI video card just to handle all 5 screens at once, it would all be worth it!

Heck, I'd front the money to buy even three extra gfx cards for a system like that.
