Hello,
That is a pretty crazy rig, but for a flight simulator I'm sure it comes in very handy. I agree that it would be too confusing on a FPS that was designed for one screen only.
...
However, it is a hope of mine that before I die, there will be a FPS game that works like our current day F-16 flight simulators where you are placed in a dome with a full 360 view from the bottom of the plane up to the sky. Basically, you get half of an entire globe around yourself. It rocks because it tricks your mind into thinking it is the real thing. You can even twist your body around in the cockpit to look behind you for boggies on your six.
The perfect FPS would be a game that had actual sensors in your arms and legs, etc. which would track your movements. You'd get exercise while you played, and reaction times would really matter. You would no longer be limited as much as we are now, and such a system could be used not only for gaming but also for real-world training of soldiers and police. We ahve the technology to make such a system also, and I do believe at least the military will be using such things before I die.
For current FPS'ers I'm happy with a 1600 x 1200 resolution on a high quality monitor. Anything else or extra monitors would be too much to track!
