Yeess!!! This is it!
I finally have my Forza Motorsport 3 ...*triple screen* setup ready! :-*
Here's my current configuration :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum2/forza3-triple.jpg)
- 3 x XBOX360 equipped with hard drive
- 3 x Packard Bell 22.5" VGA monitor (FullHD)
- 3 x Forza Motorsport 3 game
- 3 x XBOX360 VGA cable
- 3 x RJ45 network cable
- 1 XBOX360 Racing wheel
- 1 Network hub 10/100
- 1 Pioneer DoblyD Digital power amp + speakers
...3 Dr Pepper ::) ;D
Ok, now see all that stuff 'in action' in this video ;) :arrow:

In order to make this run, the 3 Forza games on each XBOX must be on the same level of version. I mean all the upgrade must be applied on all XBOX or you won't be able to configure the multi screen set up.
Regarding the video : because I'm using a camera far behind me, the tree pictures on the monitors don't seem to be aligned, but from the point of view of the player, the three pictures are just ... perfectly aligned ;-)
After playing Forza 3 on this setup, it'll be impossible to go back to a single screen configuration :P ... so I'll try to build a dedicated cabinet for this configuration. Not something like the Ferrari F355 cockpit ...

...because this one is too big and would be too complicate to build.... No, I'll go for something more 'light' and easy ;)
Most of my 'playing time' goes for 'retro' games.. but sometime it's good to play modern & realistic games... such this *AWESOME* driving simulator :-* :-* :-*
But for now... Shut up & drive Nuno! ;) ;D

Forza 3 Triple-screen Lovely ! :o :-*
I want play with Triple-screen ;D
-
MADNESS!!! ;D ;D
-
The triple screen touch :-*.

I have wanted to do this for AGES. I need 1 more 360. I already have copies of the game and the racing wheel.
You can buy racing seat cockpits already here: http://www.gameracer.co.uk/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=26
You then just need to build a setup for the 3 screens.
Also Forza3 supports full motion API's. Check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QucTqO-m-kQ&feature=related and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlnEvIFYNdw&feature=related

Your first "from scratch" machine? Or you will modify an existing cab?
Anyhow, that configuration is really cool in that video!

Extra!! my brother play in 3 screen configuration on is computer but the configuration is very hard to make.
I did't know only was possible with Xbox.
GG

The 'engine's, now in a dedicated location, which a good air circulation...more than mandatory for these XBOX 360! :arrow:

To do next :
- buying few cables extension to hide all the cables and have a very clean setup, which is almost the case 8)
- shoot a nice video!
- more test regarding a 'proof of concept' I experiment right now for a major addition to this setup... ;)
-
Something like that would be a reason to actually buy some modern consoles. Very nice, I like !
-
Very Very Nice 8)
