Small update! Didn't make a "hinge" just yet. Added a small mousepad and keypad on the right. Perfect for the Mirage 2000 and the Viggens data panel and with a modifier on the throttle, the Viggens nav-buttons. Still waiting for the 7-inch display to be delivered...

Good idea! Maybe in the future. Now I only fly the Mirage 2000 and the Viggen and I like the cards in the MFD's to remind me what the buttons do.

I think you can "save" pixels by putting the small displays under the big display. All displays "in a row": (1920+800+800)*1080=3,8 megapixel Big display on top, small under: 1920*(1080+600)=3,2 megapixel

Thank you for the comments! Thanks! I'm thinking about installing a hinge just below the joystick so that the MFD:s and display folds back over the seat while not in use...

I wanted to share my ongoing portable cockpit project. (Not englishspeaking so excuse my text :) ) When i fly DCS I setup my computer on the dining table in my livingroom. I needed a compact easy way to remove all my flight simming gear so my wife will not leave me ;) I bought a regular dining table chair and cut the legs to make it shorter and a bit more relaxed (I cut the aft-legs a little bit more). The center console has a compartment for all the cables and an USB-hub for easy connecting with only one cable to the computer. I have mounted the thrustmaster MFD:s 90 degrees so I can access the cards from the side when I fly a different aircraft. The cards is printed on coloured paper with a monochrome laser printer and inkscape software. I modded the throttle and added weight for a heavier feel. I just opened it up and put a couple of large square spacers inside. It does improve the feel of the throttle a great deal (sorry, no pics of the mod). Black electrical tape on the throttle and stick for a more stealthier look and “anti slip tape” for better grip. The throttle base is attached with a hinge for a more compact storage. Future plans: I have ordered a 7-inch display from ebay. It will be mounted in portrait in the middle between the MFD:s. I will put radar and RWR on the display I have ordered a wireless numeric keypad to mount behind or in front of the throttle for more buttons. Enjoy the pics!

I can't find any way to assign joystickbuttons for the weapon selector. Not in the sim yet? :)
