Cowboy10uk Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 While I know, that it is very very basic, compared to most here. I can finally say my humble cockpit is finally finished. ( well unless I decide to upgrade ) It is just a basic Helios cockpit, 3 x 23" LG monitors and 1 x 24" touchscreen, running on a GTX 680 4GB, card via SoftTH running Loz's A10 Profile. Still looking for a blackshark one that even comes close. Thrustmaster Warthog, with stick mounted on front of office chair, along with Buttkicker 2 attached to add that extra seat by the trousers feel, and of course Track IR 5. A Huge thanks to everyone here who put up with all my silly questions and made this possible. :joystick: Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:

Cowboy10uk Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Please tell me those are old VHS cases supporting your monitors? :D Might be ;) I've got around 800 in the loft and can't bring myself to part with them, After thinking about several different ways and expensive stands for my monitors, I tried with 4 video boxes, and it ended up as the perfect height. I just need to go through the boxes and get the more appropriate videos for a cockpit, e.g. Anything military or aviation related. ;) Not too sure Winnie the Pooh and several chick flicks give the cockpit the correct look. :) The old saying K.I.S.S. certainly works with this setup. :thumbup: Thanks for all the kind words as well guys.

Cowboy10uk Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Just another Photo to show my cheap, Bodge job mounting for the Warthog. ;) Many thanks to RedX, for his great idea here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1121508&postcount=18 and help in answering my questions, much appreciated. Main difference, is instead of bolting to the cushion, I cut a hole in it, and mounted straight to the chair floor. Was rather wobbly at first, due to my poor bolting and mounting ( theres a good reason, im banned from doing DIY :doh: ) however wedged a couple of small pieces of wood under bottom of stick to support the front edge, and now is fairly stable. 3" extension ordered from Zahry, to lift the handle up a little, and also planning to remove the seat arms to give myself a little more elbow room. All in all, think it cost me £6. :thumbup: Cowboy10uk Edited January 10, 2013 by Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh:
