Mr_Burns Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Hey all, without any threads I can see which match my requirements I will post this incase anyone like me, without much of a clue about PC language needs a simple but good set up and I might be able to help. System: Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2 E8400 running a 3ghz gigabyte 4800 and 4670 3 x 15" HP and 1x 17" Usual ram, 2gb I think. Softth and LEAVU2 I have just purchased 40 push buttons from ebay (30$ Australian) I ripped a keboard The 40 buttons will be enough to make 3 simple panels which dont replicate any aircraft but can be used on all aircraft. No cockpit, just a desktop but Im going to have to mod it so I can put monitor 4 under monitor 1 without having 123 above eye level. Considering track ir cos i tried free track but it was a bit shit, maybe I should have used IR LEDs instead of Christmas Tree Lights? So this is where I am currently: You saw the Blackshark setup Got Flamin Cliffs 2 working: These MFDs are going to be moved to beneath middle monitor And them Im gonna make these generic key panels to sit on the desktop so i can fly all aircraft. I just need to integrate virtual panel for some of the dials.
GGTharos Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Nice work! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Sanch0 Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 I can see that you like fresh air and flying without canopy ;) BTW Really nice setup! Can you tell us how many fps you got? PVAF "A fighter without a gun... is like an airplane without a wing" dedicated to F-4 Phantom
viper3two Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 @Burns Yep, try the LED's they specify, get em from Digikey. Those Leds have a wide flat head for a big angle of dispersion, and the cam will pick it up really good. I used an old MS vs1000 with a floppy disc used for the IR cover. Works pretty good. Nice setup ya got there...:thumbup:
Mr_Burns Posted August 16, 2010 Author Posted August 16, 2010 I cant see the FPS - might be on a phantom monitor somewhere, my setup is pretty hit and miss, I fear having to reinstall and try and remember all the changes I did. It slide showed with all 4 MFDs running but with 3 it was perfect. Im just trying to set up the free track no ir, the face following technology of Face API but I think the webcam has shat itself. Have made and painted the 3 boxes for my control panels and painted the switches.
