The final touch... some arm rests. Made form 1/4" ply, dense foam, and some scrap fake suede picked up at a fabric store. You'd never mistake it for something done by a professional upholsterer, but it's serviceable and comfortable. And best of all, easily removable with thumb screws for when I want my pit to transform back to a desk!

Regards,
George

Hi again!

My simpit has recently received what is likely to be the last major upgrade for quite some time. An HP ZR30W 30" S-IPS display! Folks, if you've never run simulators on 2560x1600, let me just say that it can't be described. The 16:10 format just suits flight sims better than 16:9, and the dense pixel pitch of these high res displays makes reading hud text and picking out ground targets much *much* easier. The other monitor is my old Dell 20" 2005WFP, setup in portrait mode for reading checklists etc. This is living! biggrin



Regards,
George
