Recently had a tidy and some new bits. Working on an AoA indexer at the moment, then will refit my gear/flap panel. Also need to move those side screens up to match the centre and optimise performance in DCS and FSX.

That is an AWESOME pit! eek

However, I don't see how three monitors would bring a large difference to immersion and aircraft control with the availability of TrackIR.

I have plans to get a triple setup for my gaming as soon as possible smile

With that set-up vsempizdetz you can see that it gives you peripheral vision looking forward and the TrackIR would still work perfectly when you look to the sides to locate your targets smile

Nice cheers

Is that based off an Akers-Barnes with an Aces replica?

Thanks guys, I'm having a blast in it at the moment. Helios on the touchscreen is a whole new dimension of awesome.

David is quite right vsempizdetz. I've picked up missile trails, tracers, targets etc on the side screens that I would have missed without the peripheral vision. Also it allows me to make the TrackIR pan a bit less sensitive, as I can turn my head further and still be able to see the side screens.

Exactly right. It's SpeedOne ACESII design, with a (working) navy ejector handle of my own construction (basically garden hose and electrical tape). The Akers-Barnes design is modified (wider, longer, higher) to fit the ACES. It doesn't often come to pieces nowadays, but when it does the whole thing fits in the back of my Subaru for flight sim expos and so on.

That is AWESOME! notworthy Really nice job. What resolution do you have the projectors running at, and are they on an Eyefinity setup?
