Deezle Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I built this rig a couple months ago and thought I'd share. It's basically just 2x4's and plywood construction. The chair is an adirondack type with a foam pad on it. I would like to eventually replace it with some kind of vehicle seat. The stick mount is a piece of machined steel welded to a pipe which is mounted to a piece of plywood laying on the floor, the rudder pedals are also mounted to the same piece. The Derek Speare Button box adds a good bit of universal functionality to all the modules. The monitors are 3 27" BenQ 1080p's, the MFD monitor is just an old Acer 21.5" 1080p. The triple monitor immersion is fantastic, should have done this a long time ago. So yeah it doesn't look anything like an actual cockpit but the comfort and immersion is fantastic, I don't know how anyone plays with a HOTAS sitting on a desk. The chair and "desk" also didn't cost much and was very simple to construct.

Deezle Posted June 6, 2015 Author Posted June 6, 2015 GTX 760. I want a 970 but I'm just gonna wait for the next gen cards. My frames average 35-50 with all the monitors, totally playable. With just a main monitor and the MFD monitor I was pegged at 60FPS most of the the time.
