Default Forza 2 Triple projector screen attempt °°°Help needed°°°

The Idea:

I live in Dunfermline, Scotland and have a very big idea !!

I want to make one of the first life size Forza 2 setups !

We have all seen the triple screen setups for Forza 2 using LCD’s. My idea is to get a group of like-minded individuals together with enough equipment to pull this off using three HD projectors.

Equipment required:

To pull this off we would need to put together another two HD projectors + 360’s with copies of the game. Some form of screen arrangement would be required. My thoughts on this so far include 3X ply-board sheets painted in Dulux icestorm 5. The paint colour is known throughout the home cinema world as a very good cheap alternative to a purpose made screen.

My idea is very much in its infancy and I’d appreciate any way to improve what I’m trying to put together.

So this is a shout out to anyone who lives in Central Scotland that can help with equipment required and would enjoy the challenge of putting together this setup.

Logistics of where, when and how can be talked about if anyone can help.

Ok, count me in

My old man, retired joiner person that worked on the QE2, can rattle together the frame and ply and i can supply 1 360 a copy of Forza and a decent sized Sprinter to transport the frame to destination.

Location wise would a conference faciltity of some hotel not be of use. We once hosted a LAN session at the Holiday Inn at the Airport for a reasonable sum. Hopefully get somewhere with a wired or wireless net connection to get the thing on Live

Give me a shout if there is anything you want me to do to assist

How much roughly is a HD projector?

My projector cost me around £800 but that was almost two years ago now. So not huge money when you consider the cost of a 42"TV these days.

Looks liek we have some kit coming together
