Forza setup

[powey]

No doubt it would be amazing to play on with this

 

[Guppy]

I wish mine didnt have the ring of death

I don't think I could have it on 3 TV's, the breaks would piss me off. One mega curved one would be better.

 

[DannyR]

It's nice but not a neat setup by all means, and get a real race/bucket seat FFS! Lol!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Plus it would be much better with an in-car view showing the dash and windows... Just like the real thing!

 

[Brazo]

Do you need extra egg boxes for the additional TV's?

No different to the c pillars on a car

yep, one per tv

It's not the same though. Your side windows aren't at that angle!

(edit although the one in the pic has pillars )

When it first came out I did a 3 xbox 3 screen setup. I really want to try it on the dbox at work, but it's currently got a G27 attached.

Yep now you mention it theres at least one Elite on the l/hand side!

Why d'ya need 3 xboxes? And how on earth does it project the right image?

 

[domjolly]

not properly set up is it as the lines on the road are not level.....

3 Xboxes and 3 copies of the game. There's an option in the game to chose which one does what.

It works really well, especially when there's a car next to you.

How do all 3 sync with one another Lee?

It's been years since I tried it. Obviously back when Forza 2 came out.

Here's how it's done though:

The Setup:
You can configure multi-screen through the in-game Options menu “Network Cockpit” in many different ways. On any different sub-network you can configure up to 12 different “Network Cockpits”, each, however, must be assigned a different “channel” numbered 0-12. On each channel you can select up to 6 different views depending on your cockpit configuration. The “primary” view must be on the multi-screen “Host”, that is where the in-game HUD will appear. The primary view should be set to “Normal” or “Center”.
The available views per screen are:
“Normal” – the regular view you get when playing the game
“Center” – the center view of a three-screen configuration
“Right” – the right view of a three-screen configuration
“Left” – the left view of a three-screen configuration
“Replay” – a real time spectator view
“Rear” – a rear view mirror view
Some common view configurations:
3 screens: Center, Right and Left.
2 screens: Normal and Rear
2 screens: Normal and Replay
4 screens: Center, Right, Left and Rear
Set up your Xbox 360s and connect them to the hub or switch. Then connect the hub or switch to the rest of your network and launch Forza Motorsport 2 on all consoles. Your profile and Xbox Live account should be located on the primary screen.

That's very clever. And given the relative cheapness of the 360s these days, not beyond the means of a lot of people.

Buying three plasma screens to do it justice however, might be expensive!

I've been trying to find the pictures and video of when I did it, but they were lost when my PC got hosed.

I might have them at home somewhere though. I think I used Samsung 26" LCD screens.

Would be cool to have a 3 screen setup then a small screen like a 15" or something as your rear-view mirror.
