Slayer Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 I've been looking at this: http://www.obutto.com/flightsim.html Price seems right and I don't really want a full blown cockpit. Wondering if anyone has this yet? Would be nice to see a real review of it. My worry is that it won't hold up to daily use. Would just like some real feedback from someone that owns one.

savoy6 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 ive had mine for about a year. still looks new use it all the time. go ahead and get all the accessories for it if you get one. i finally upgraded to 3 24" monitors dont get anything bigger than that unless you wanna wear sunscreen while you work/play. takes only a minute or so to switch from flight to simracing to work. ive yet to find anything that is half is good for twice or more the price.

Slayer Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Mine is going to finally arrive on Monday. The only bummer is I'm moving in a month so will have to take it back apart again. I would wait but if I wait to put it together and pieces are missing it would be tough to explain how I didn't check my shipment immediately.

topdog Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Yes I do; though I'm not yet setup for flying with it as I haven't mounted my throttle and stick to the post points yet. My shipment was short 2 bolts but that's for a specific reason - the flight stick mount was out of stock when I ordered mine so I was offered the display/demo cockpit mount instead of a new one which I took. Otherwise everything came as it should, and went together well. I suggest a watch through of Chris' videos from the FAQ of the main obutto.com site, he only recorded them mid-December and although they were done to help people having trouble to put it together, it is the best assembly information produced for it so far. If you just want to do an inventory check without putting it together let me know, though it's not so bad to disassemble for moving, the fittings make it fairly easy to do just you'll want to redo all the bubble wrapping if it's going to be in for a possibly bumpy ride (I moved mine by just loading the bits in the back seat of my car, since the box wouldn't fit anyway). Edit: heh, when I opened the thread I failed to notice this was page 2 so I thought it was just the first post of it I was replying to - no probs, just it might explain my offbeat reply! Edit2: Regarding 3x 23" monitors, when using the triple monitor mount, it'll hold them in place easy in landscape mode, I assume they have vesa mount positions on the back of the monitors (75x75 or 100x100 probably). I currently have a 27" in the center and 24" to one side of mine (just because, that's what I use for my 2 PCs and I'm not yet ready for triple setup anyway).
