Hehe, believe me, i wrote a MUCH alonger thread about a simpler design until it hit m e that 2d image manipulation was what your'e looking for. I was making the bolt and washer sugesstion because a bolt is easier than a screwhead to twist for "on the fly" adjustments, that's all.
. I'm serious though, thatr really looks nice, and i'd love to see it in action. I'm curious, these are minute adjustments, right? I ask because the more offset the image is from location 0 (perfect), the more distorted it will be unless you slide the actual screen (to get my image on the upper windshield, i moved the PPC back up the dash). Please excuse the questions and what not, I'm trying to see all the things the mechansim will accomplish and how, trying to better understand it, you know?

See, the thing is i don't remember having that issue on the G20. The thing that worries me about he tint is the whole "ghosting" that might occur, although, that was the original purpose of the tint, wasn't it
. Sorry, i forgot...i do that lot these days. But that is the finsl problem for to to solve.
@quantum, i'm really interested in how far you got! You're probably done with some full screen comtraption that puts everything we're doing to shame.
EDIT:
http://www.dupont.com/safetyglass/en...ts/hud_gm.html. Its seesm GM solved this by having a bit of Dupont's PVC in the windwshiled between the two layers of glass. I'm no longer sure if what i saw in my G was just me being blind or it was really a double image. I had no idea it was two layers of glass (i really didn't!). Something tells me this is going to be REALLY hard to do ourselves...quantum...you can pop in anytime here with a solution...please?
