L0stS0ul Junior Member Registered: 06/27/12 Posts: 50 Loc: VA	Thanks guys, Sorry it's been a while since I updated the post. Not a lot of changes since the last pics until the last few days. The biggest change is an upgrade to a 40 inch screen. Makes such a huge difference. I've also done a quick video of how it all works with Flight Simulator. I'm really pleased with how this all came out. I still need to paint the mounts for the stick and throttle black. It's always that last 1% that takes forever to get done Edited by L0stS0ul (02/11/13 01:50 PM)

Also, I think you have achieved something never before seen in simpit history...an unused electrical outlet right under the pit. That's gotta be a first! _________________________ Alienware Area 51 X-58 Windows 7 64 bit Home edition Intel I7 920 @ 3.5 ghz 6 gig 1600mhz corsair in triple channel PowerColor 6970 PCS+ 2GB with factory OC Intel 510 series 120gb SSD (boot drive) Caviar Black 1 TB 7200 rpm Onboard Soundmax sound

Looks great though L0stS0ul! lol Ghost! That's a very clean looking set up you have there. Are all power cables under the carpet? Or just out of view on the right side of the pit? _________________________ Alienware Area 51 X-58 Windows 7 64 bit Home edition Intel I7 920 @ 3.5 ghz 6 gig 1600mhz corsair in triple channel PowerColor 6970 PCS+ 2GB with factory OC Intel 510 series 120gb SSD (boot drive) Caviar Black 1 TB 7200 rpm Onboard Soundmax sound

Are all power cables under the carpet? Or just out of view on the right side of the pit? In that picture you can see some of the cables wrapped in aviation grade teflon spirial wrap (PT/TQ). All of the cables (FS,PT,TQ, DT225 and speakers) are wrapped and along the right side. The Saitek panels are also wrapped and kept tucked up under the shelf my CPU is on plugged into a powered USB hub. _________________________ Originally Posted By: Abraham Lincoln America will never be destroyed from the outside.

L0stS0ul Junior Member Registered: 06/27/12 Posts: 50 Loc: VA	I've been trying to find a way to get a second screen on my pit for a while now. I was at home depot yesterday and they had a tablet mount for $20 so I bought it. The mount that they had was not going to work for me but I figured out a way to change out the arm for something that would work on my pit. It works really nice. There are lots of good apps for the iPad but not so many for android. Right now I'm using fsMoveMap which works pretty good but there are a bunch of features that I want that it does not have. I think I'll work on building my own moving map app for android over the next few days. I want something that will fit aesthetically with my pit Here's a video and some pics of it all working very happy with how it worked out.
