OMG, you guys are crazy! (in a good sense)

 

I second that! If I had 1/100th the skill you guys have, I'd be in heaven!:thumbup: Man, and I thought I was big-time simulator pilot when I got my new HOTAS system this year (talking the X-52 here) LOL! I have much to learn.:)

 

Real nice pits guys.

Hi all !

first of all i want to introduce myself in this Forum too.

My Nickname is Lightning here in the Forum, but i am known as

GSG_9_LIGHTNING in many different games, like Raven Shield, SWAT 4,

Lock On, Hyperlobby etc.

 

I found lots of very cool cockpits here gentlemen and i am very impressed about the talent of you guys.

You all inspired me to build my own cockpit.

 

It has taken me some time to build it and still it is not finished at all.

Sidepanels to the left and right of the seat with real Buttons that are illuminated will follow this autumn.

 

I am also thinking of integrating an 8 " TFT -USB Touchscreen with the awsome software "TouchBuddy" programmed from ZORLAC ( hey man thank you very much ! you are a real genius man ! those pictures look realy cool and i bet its one of the best Programs that have ever been published for virtual pilots ! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

My wish was to build my Cockpit in a little different style than most of the cockpits seen here in the Forum... i didnt want to just copy ideas from you gentlemen ;).

 

My computer Specs : :smartass:

- CPU : AMD 64 FX-57

 

- Motherboard : ASUS A8N32 - SLI Deluxe

 

- Graphics Card : Geforce 7800 GTX

 

- 2 x Raptor 80 GB Harddisks working in Raid 0

 

- Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Soundcard

 

- Headtracker : Intersense Intertrax 2 attached to the top of a baseballcap

( using a mouse-emulation-software to look around in the Lock On Cockpit with no latency ! )

 

- Joystick Thrustmaster Cougar ( modified look at the pictures ! no more springs inside ... just the weight of metal cylinders at the bottom keep the cougar in zero position !! i dont need any strength to move the stick ) :joystick: the bad thing --> i had to cut away a piece of the seat which was directly under the Cougar... the metal cylinders needs some space when pulling the Stick to maximum right position

 

- Simped Vario Ruder pedals

 

- Aura Interactor Vibration Seat ( integrated to the Seat on the Photo )

 

- Microsoft Gamevoice Communication Hardware ( with speech recognition software !!! )

 

well... i thinks thats it ... for now... :P

 

Here is my little Combat Flight Simulator :pilotfly:

... i hope you enjoy my work.

No wonder I couldn't sneak up on you in our squad match.... sheesh I'd have to shrink my plane to the size of a peanut in order to avoid being spotted on that set up CountryCowfreak. S!

Thats not my pit Gideon :megalol:

 

I found that image somewhere on the net wondering what the powerbill might be :D

 

 

 

This is an older pic of my pit, basically the same now, exept i got a CH fighterstick and Rudder now running with the X 45 throttle.

Looks allmost like this one :D

True , but it just looks like it is the same system, but it isnt !! :P

I saw this picture too before i started with my Cockpit.

But i dont have enough money for such a project :cry:

 

In the upper Picture ( my cockpit ) you see just one Computer and 8 Monitors connected to the same VGA Output ! All monitors show the same direction of the cockpit, i just move my head (Headtracker attached on the top of my baseballcap) to look at the instruments or to the scenery right or left of me. ( headdirection = eyedirection )

 

Its much cheaper to use a real good Head-Motion-Tracker in combination with 8 Monitors and just ONE high-end Computer instead of buying as many High-End-Computers and having as many Keyboards and Mouses too ;)

 

I admit that the immersion is much better with so many computers in network (second picture ) , but at this time there is no Combat-Flight-Simulation Software that supports Multi-Monitor in a Computer Network.

I think what you see is Micosoft Flight Simulator 2004.

 

The guy who build that system on the second picture will really enjoy it when the Combat Sim Fighter Ops will be published. They promised to support such systems. The question is : Have all his computers in this picture High-End-Components ? ( fast CPUs and fast Graphics cards needed as a minimum )

You know the problem with FPS drops with cheap hardware in Lock On, so this guy has to invest a real big amount of money to bring the hardware to an acceptable standard. :doh:

I've posted my pictures of my pit a little while ago....

 

But since then I've actually added some very important equipment so I guess it's time to let everyone see it, as I'm proud of this and it took a lot of hard work to do it ...

 

Well the computers not that old (a little over 1 year) but I'm considering an upgrade with in the next 6 months or so....
