Actually, now that I think about it... I don't think it can currently be done with Planetside though, as it would need to support odd resolutions (like 3875x1012 or whatever it is).

It's an interesting setup - but I don't think I could get past the strange fisheye thing that you described it makes things look distorted.

This might be stupid but on top of the Head Tracker, I would love to see 3D support. I mean it is pretty cheesy but it is always cool when you can immerse yourself into the game. If it does happen maybe I will use my tax money to build myself a simulator pod and chair. Just saying it would be sick.

Eyefinity looks pretty cool. However i don't like those black borders you get from the screen itself. However what would be pretty cool is that you have one screen for the game itself, and the other screen for the map so you can see where the action is at. Supreme Commander 1 (i don't know if you could do it with 2) had that kind of function, with looked like this (not my pic):

I saw it. It's not exactly a fish-eye - it just bends ever so slightly so that it's in perspective and to-scale, instead of being a flat screen that tends to warp images. It's not grossly bent.

That Supreme Commander feature rocked, I'd love to see something like that.
