Taipan Sim Addict Member Registered: 09/22/09 Posts: 498 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Originally Posted By: MPPC_Mike The monitor mount & stand is completely detached from the main cockpit. The link should be working again, we changed the product code and forgot to add a 301 redirect. Sorry for that Ahh now I can see the chair attached to the pedal and wheel mount bars not the monitor stand! Awesome design, truly.

Skoop Junior Member Registered: 07/22/07 Posts: 63 Loc: Ventura, CalifornIA	Would it be possible to buy an upgrade package and apply these improvements to our current older Obutto setups ? I definately like the improvements, not sure I can justify another Obutto. Edited by Skoop (05/08/12 09:54 PM)

I definately like the improvements, not sure I can justify another Obutto. It's a change to the frame so I don't think so. Also I enquired about buying individual monitor base and the price and shipping is too much. Cheapest option I'm hoping for is sell existing Obutto (maybe $400) and buy new one. But I want another years use first and time for the reviews of this one to flow through before I do. Plus I need to save up for these: http://www.vkb-flightsimcontrols.com/produkt/gallery.php

I'm very much looking forward to a review, preferably by guod, as he could compare it to the older model. As long as it doesn't come with some new must-have features, I'll stick with mine. The only reason to upgrade I can see so far would be the possible use of pedals superior to my current CH ones. Taipan, that VKBs sure look nice as hell... _________________________ You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

I like the fact that you can go big on the monitors for the stand. _________________________ Club Racing at The ADC: Average Drivers Club Also check out the FRC at: FairPlay Racing Club

Those pedals do look nice, but the height is an issue on top of the width for the old Obutto. Even my Simpeds are very tight to workaround the space so they will benefit too until I wear them out.

Deigs Junior Member Registered: 06/10/09 Posts: 28	Pretty excited about this product hitting the market. I've been wanting one of these set-up's for years with triple monitors and mounted hardpoints for my HOTAS. I'm planning on mounting a 22" Acer touchscreen on the centre wheel mount as it's a VESA plate, and run 3 X 27" 1080p monitors in Eyefinity. Is there anyone on these forums that currently run a system like this? How do you find it? Was it worth the cash for you? Well word on the street is late July deliveries. So I guess it's time to start buying the gear. _________________________ 161 Squadron Australia's Online DCS Community

Really looking forward to this one! _________________________ You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

Lots of what you're asking about from the 1st Obutto. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3102106/ _________________________ "That's at least a third canine dog barking"
