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

ruprecht]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. Nice 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. I don't see how three monitors would bring a large difference to immersion and aircraft control with the availability of TrackIR. 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 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. Is that based off an Akers-Barnes with an Aces replica? 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.

Watched your thread almost completely Groupil, this is a true work of art, not only as a simpit but also as craftmanship. Bravo! Downloaded some photo's as inspiration. Would love to see this thread as a PDF á la Gene Buckle's Series One Cockpit

I'm back with the latest installment to the moneypit... I mean simpit. I spent the last week working on another change to the Simpit... backlighting! I'm really happy with how it turned out. The lighting even matches my Warthog and MFDs! If you are interested in how I made it all finally work, follow this link.
