Can't wait to try this on my PIMAX 8k VR which should arrive shortly before the Cat. Might have to take a month off work!

Was anyone conceived during the movie?

But the A model will always be in MX as it has PW engines :) so you really can't fly it. Do we need all the drip pans we used to have to use for the F14?

Thanks Lucky, PP sent

Planning on sticking with my 8k now

A6 would be an instant buy. Hell I'd pre-order now! Former A-6 Tinbender at NASWI I miss the old corrosion bird

I run a three screen 43" 4K setup on my main machine, but waiting on my new Pimax 8k VR headset to ship to try wide FOV VR gaming finally

Nice work, just halfway around the lake from me

That's P3D (FSX) for the scenery and ProSim737 for the Systems and backend interface to the guages / Switches / Annunciators.

Thanks Hans, I'll have a look! :) This one is a bit of a downsize from the other pit, but that one won't fit in the apartment now that the GF and I split last year. Always liked Mil Sims a bit more, going back to Strike Eagle III and Tornado. I'm a commercial rated pilot as well so can always go grab time in the club Mooney if I need that non-Mil fix :)

I'm Interested!

I'll look for that.. Monitor stand was built by a guy who was starting a sim racing chassis business call Fast track sims. Mark is great guy and builds a real quality project. Did it all by a few measurements off the screens I bought. Fully adjustable too. The 23" and 27" are just desktop clamp brackets attached to the frame that I added later.

Was using two GTX560ti 448 cores, switched to two GTX780's a month ago

Thanks, been playing with that one this morning. The EMC really makes it a lot easier. Time for some test flights!

Back into flying DCS / BMS stuff and wanted to get my bottom screen up and running. Since moving to the apartment I've had to downsize from my full size 737 pit to something smaller. A few years ago I had a custom stand made for my 3 40" LED panels. Did that when I thought I was going to get into iRacing. Quickly found out I suck at racing. The screens sit at perfect height for my Obutto, but the obbuto and the rudders don't play nice, to I removed the front half of the Obbuto and now just use the chair and stick mounts. I have had a FCC modded Cougar for 11+ years and it has served me well, but recently picked up a Warthog at a great price, so added that to the pit. I toyed around with a 23" lower monitor and some Cougar MFDs before but didn't like it and was looking for a touchscreen solution when I stumbled on GregP selling his 27" Acer touchscreen. So I added that to the bottom and put the 23" up top connected to another networked PC to pull up charts or whatever I need in flight. Now I'm just trying to figure out HELIOS and setting those damn lua's correctly

Its not that third word :) Headed back to the land of Jeepney's in April for two weeks myself! Trece Martires

Both B&H and Amazon have had it for $439 within the last week, no tax, free ship Almost bought from Amazon as I was tired of waiting for the deal I finally found. As to your original question, I've had a TM Cougar for 11 year, modified it to the first Gen FCC (I'm serial #083) and its still going strong. In that time I have had dozens of processors and video cards. Heck I'm running SLI'd GTX 780's and I'll still be upgrading the PC in the future, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be using the same two sticks.

It was actually $227 shipped in the end :) And other than a little paint rubbing off, its in excellent shape and goes well with my 11 year old FCC Cougar :)

Been running on three 40" LED TV's for two years now. Combined with Track IR its excellent. Had a custom mount made for the three to sit at the perfect height for my Obutto.

Benefits to both large format and PJs. Have run both over the years for different sims. The last two panasonic 50" plasmas I have used have had no issue with image retention. Currently run a triple 40", but have used 32s, 40's, 42s and 50's over the years. Projectors are nice too.....This one is a friends, but use the same for my full size 737 hardware based sime. A bit more dialing in involved with curved screen (edge blending and warping).

Added a new Monitor Mount for my Obutto tonight and have been playing around to get the view right:

Glad I could help! I'll take you up on the beer :)

Like you, it would not run for me when my desktop was 5040 x 1050, but I saw someone else had luck turning down their desktop but still running the game at 5040 x 1050, so I tried it. Clean install, set the desktop to 3840 x 768, put the game at 5040 x 1050 and started it up. I was worried as the game has long load times, but it worked. Flying fine now at 5040 x 1050. Had to adjust the max FOV so my face wasn't against the HUD. Still one issue left. The selection screen (Campaign, Quick Mission, Options, etc...) still runs at a resolution that cuts off the exit button. Can't figure it out..... Still nice to have the higher res in the rame and the second time the option screen comes up it loads at full resolution (i.e. after flying one mission)

I had the same problem as you did. The only way I can get the game to run at 5040 x 1050 is to set my desktop at a lower resolution before starting the Blackshark. After doing so, it launches fine. Strange bug, hope they can squash it in a patch as its annoying to swap the resolutions all the time.
