Its an old Obutto seat, but switching to a BMW 3 series sport seat shortly. Height is just determined by the height of the frame, I have the T slot frame about 12" off the floor, but it can really be any height you build it to.

Can’t speak for MOD reasoning and I’m a bit biased by who I work for. I do have other customers in the MENA region flying the RTM on NH90 aircraft that want the engines replaced for MX / Reliability/ cost reasons. NH90 has two engine options the other being CT7 (commercial version of T700)

UK Echo models dump the RTM engine for T700-701Ds.

Slaw Device RX Viper V2 Rudder Pedals
jskibo replied to Slaw's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Have old Slaw BF109s, new Slaw Viper V2s and MFG crosswinds. wife just shakes her head much like I do when she comes home with a new $180 hair color -
Nice, I was all in until you said $650 whats your price without the stand as I would have to remove that and throw it back in the box for pit mounting?

CubeSim - Protection of Money - Just a 'Heads up'
jskibo replied to Toni Carrera's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Yes that's pretty much the same one. Slightly different splitter but should work fine. -

FYI running the cubesims on a Sabrent 16 port powered USB 3.0 hub with 14 ports filled. No issues. -
Rudder pedal recommendations?
jskibo replied to BeastyBaiter's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I have MFG V2 with damper and combat pedal mods as well as an original BF109 Slaw pedals and his latest Viper V2 pedals. I really prefer the Slaw Vipers over all the rest. -
Got the cubesim MFDs connected. Need to get the F/A-18 UFC so I can swap between F16, A10 and F/A-18

CubeSim - Protection of Money - Just a 'Heads up'
jskibo replied to Toni Carrera's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Yes confirm it’s usb and power required. I did not use his power supplies. Had a 5amp and splitter to power all three from one plug. He provides 2amp large head power supplies. His usb cables are flaky. One works great, one cuts in and out if moved around a lot. One just cuts in and out constantly. Bought new 90 degree ones to replace the ones he provided. -

The Lua file he provided needs some tweaking but finally got it running correctly for a three camera setup. Screens are a bit dim need to kick up brightness and contrast a bit. -

I received my three last week after I said I wanted to cancel. All seem to work but one USB cable is flaky and cuts out it touched. odd as I ordered in May and thought it would be forever. -
Standalone DCS + Oculus Quest 2 (connection problems)
jskibo replied to SrSosio's topic in Virtual Reality
Did you enable VR in the VR tab in settings? -
Backed the Pro model of the Yaw2, hopefully the Have addition is ready by the time mine ships (late backer number). Should be a blast, and now they added T Slot type side mounts to help with adding gear https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/346206518/yaw2-motion-simulator-and-smart-chair/description

Interesting option here https://www.facebook.com/SIMpleSIMpit/ His stick is a work of engineering art as well

Making a choice for a system setup
jskibo replied to TheGrandDuke's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
I had similar until a few weeks ago. i5-8600k, 1080ti but 64GB of 2400 DDR4. I run triple 4k on 70" screens Upgrade to i7-10700, 64GB 3200 DDR4 and a 3090 FTW3 Ultra (all I could find at retail), DCS running real nice -
Its restock day for panels, well in 9 hours. Odd thing I had both in my cart from awhile ago and it already let me complete the order. Happy about that. Anyone waiting on the panels and happen to have them in your saved cart from before might want to give it a try

Triple Screen, CPU or GPU upgrade, what does make sense?
jskibo replied to xoxen's topic in PC Hardware and Related Software
Keep looking. I finally scored a 3090 for my triple 70" setup. Much nicer than the 1080ti -
Paid $1848 for 3090 FTW3 Ultra. Still way more than I ever expected to pay for a card, but the 1080ti at $700 lasted 4 years, hope to get the same out of this one. It also generates $12 -$14 a day in crypto when I'm not flying, so a bit of offset.

I picked mine up from the EVGA B Stock drops that happen a few times a week. No markups but only $50 off MSRP
-
I just went team green yesterday on a 3090 coming from a 1080ti. It's beautiful at 12288 x 2160! I keep bumping sliders higher. Hope your 6900XT is just as awesome for you!

EVGA B Stock dropped a bunch of cards tonight starting in batches from 3090 all the way down to 1030's every few minutes. Few lasted longer than a minute. I happened to look at the right time and picked up a FTW3 Ultra 3090, sad part was it was priced $20 below MSRP ($1849) , but in this market, that's quite a deal
