Since Rugg got a new pit, he was nice enough to give me his old one. Also my wife trains a girl whose dad builds simulators on base. I talked to him and he might be able to get me some of their old stuff So, my pit and a few other 3Sqn pits could see some cool hardware in the future. But it all depends on what kind of stuff. Here is a pre-fit pic, just to get a feel of what it is going to look like.




But I need to fix this in a way that I can still play my FPS games like Arma II. So this is going to take some moving things around and trying to figure how to set it up. Also just got my TIR5 and it is a big difference over my TIR4 so far. I have only flew with it less then 20 minutes and I can tell the difference!

Found out I'm going to do it. Now just have to get everything set up.


This is where the FPS/normal computer stuff is going to happen


Another glance at the pit, HOTAS is in place. Can't wait til I can get a bigger monitor/TV


A shot at both


Still have a few things in mind that I want to do. Need to get another monitor, something 19-22" maybe even a 15" will work better.

I'm still making changes and adding things. I'm still not sure where I want the lil monitor to go. I had it on the other side by the throttle, now I'm trying this side for a bit. I might try mounting it inbetween the MFD's later.
