tagge Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Phases one and two, a work in progress. The seat is the left frontseat from a Subary Justy. The screen in pic three is a Samsung 32" HD-television. 2 - With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - "Upside-down shuttlecock of death" SU-27 as described by Sgt Baker
tagge Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 ...and the finished cockpit. The Sony 15" LCD looks kinda small now. The third pic shows the view "under the hood" where you can see my Cougar MDF's backlight (a ordinary lightbulb in a coffeebox). - With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - "Upside-down shuttlecock of death" SU-27 as described by Sgt Baker
tagge Posted November 13, 2010 Author Posted November 13, 2010 The right MDF with backlight on and off. And the left MFD and cupholder holding a... well, a cup.

zaelu Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Very nice... a similar "towards functional desktop" cockpit I have my self. However... after a couple of versions I realized that the lateral consoles have to be placed a bit lower... at the thigh level or lower. Otherwise you will feel a bit of strain in your hands after a few flight hours. I think most of the real cockpits have the same arrangement. here's two pics with mine. The stick is detachable having a anchoring pylon just at the edge of the chair. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least

zaelu Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 How do you like your HOTAS? Is the best I ever had. I had Thrustmaster AFII, Saitek x45, X52, X52pro, Thrustmaster Cougar (the F16 one) before... neither as good and full of features (balanced) like this one. Also... this one was free gift from a friend... so it is unbeatable price-wise :megalol: . With the latest firmware it has the reversal bug solved on X and Y axes so is coming close to perfect HOTAS.

tagge Posted January 9, 2011 Author Posted January 9, 2011 I bet Zaelu likes dogs... Anyway, the detachable stick just at the edge of the seat is a great idea Zaelu. I'll think I just might copy your idea, thanks. Waiting for my X-52 Pro BTW, should arrive tomorrow. I really wanted the X-65 but Christmas drained my bank account to almost zero... :cry: - With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - "Upside-down shuttlecock of death" SU-27 as described by Sgt Baker

tagge Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Just incase you wondered about what the heck is SETAC (actually no one did), it's a proggy that my friend is working at. Much like Lock On Virtual Panel or LEAVU etc... Here's three screenshots of SETAC in action: - With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. - "Upside-down shuttlecock of death" SU-27 as described by Sgt Baker

I'm a bit of a Honda and Yamaha fan :D but, is a cool picture "from the internet" (I named it "Metal Tango"). I do have a Honda CBR600F4 though :pilotfly: . Sorry for OT. On Topic tagge, that program will have the two lateral screens looking like the real MFDs? With buttons arround etc... clickable with a touch screen I mean.
