Hi, I am an 18 year old student pilot and I am new to this forum. I have in the past used the mouse and keyboard as my controls for the aircraft systems. However, I wish to go further and create a full blown cockpit replica of the DCS A10c Warthog. I wish to use 3 monitors as a panoramic view of the horizon and one large screen to display the intrumentation (using the Helios software). I am not sure whether this is possible. I need a new PC and was not sure of the best type of computer and graphics cards to support these screens. Also, I am looking to buy the new Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Joystick and to custom made panels with toggle switches connected via a USB interface to the main PC. (Which I understand can be mapped much like a joystick in the DCS A10C game). I am not sure how many USB connections the A10C game can support, nor whether this is the best Joystick to use. I am also looking at purchasing the Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack and placing them on top of an LCD screen, then Exporting the MFD's in the game to these screens. This is currently the plan for my Sim, If you guys have any advice or suggestions on what the best approach is, would be greatly appreciated.
