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.

That is an AWESOME pit! eek

However, I don't see how three monitors would bring a large difference to immersion and aircraft control with the availability of TrackIR.

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

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 smile

Thanks guys, I'm having a blast in it at the moment. Helios on the touchscreen is a whole new dimension of awesome.

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.

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.

That is AWESOME! notworthy Really nice job. What resolution do you have the projectors running at, and are they on an Eyefinity setup?

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. Dudley Simpit Project

Not only does it look all green and sinister, but now I can find my beer easier when I'm flying at night! cheers

Nice! The top pic turned out a bit more white than green, but the green glow on the pit contours look nice.

The pit looks awesome Dudley, thanks for the ideas on how to back-light. I've been trying to figure out how to accomplish that.

Not up to the standards of some, but it works for the time being.




How it looks when not simming



Next up is to get the warthog mounted to my sim chair. Thinking keeping my U2nxt as the side stick, and center mounting the warthog. Gotta figure the logistics out.
