@ Hannibal. Prepar3d runs at about 30fps and DCS A10 around 20 fps with all settings turned to medium. For now I'm running without the two outer monitors. Getting around 40fps that way. Next year when the GTX880 comes out I'll upgrade and hopefully be able to play at 67860x1680 at around 40 fps. Also contemplating on getting two more HP ZR30w's. That way I can go SLI. The hodgepodge of different monitors prevent me from using my two GTX 680's in SLI right now.

Edit: I succeeded in getting my landscape 30 inch and 2x22 inch monitors in portrait to run in SLI today. 4460x1680 is running at 65-70fps now. With everything at high, sliders maxed out and TSAA enabled and MSAA at 8 I'm getting 45-50fps. Not scaling badly at all.

pilot driving

Still WIP, wiring needs to be locked down and tidied up, want to make it as easy as possible to switch between flight and driving. 4:3 monitor, Warthog stick and rudder pedals all on quick disconnect fittings, clamp in G25 wheel and good to go driving. Still need to mount the Tach properly.

More pics when its "done"

Hannibal. Nice stick and pedal mod! thumbsup

I'm back to the three monitors running everything maxed out at 60-70fps. Once the 800 series Nvida cards are out next year I'll have another look at going extra wide. I like my eye candy but it can't be a slide show if you want to be effective.

i went triple monitor, and the experience wasnt that good for me, especially because i dont use trackIR.

i have trackIR4, and i can not get used to it.

i build my pits in preparation for oculus rift.

but in the last time i was on DCS, i play with dual monitors situated top and bottom with a resolution of 1920x2160 (fps is good with most options on high) but this was a year ago

The Rift, the next frontier. We're all going to have to learn Braille with our keyboards and Thrustmaster MFD's. I sometimes got a bit queezy with the 5 monitor setup. I think it's because the framerates were not keeping up with my head movements. With DCS in super wide mode I now use the 3 Camera Lua and no Track IR. If I look left I can see the left wing and partial left tail fin. It's almost 300 degrees of visibility. Looks strange on screenshots or from a distance but very natural when you sit in the middle of the monitors.

What does the box on the left side of the cyclic shaft do for you? I see what looks like LEDS on there.

thank you mr cyberkut. smile
the box doesnt do anything but holds led's as u mentioned.
because i chopped up a CH Products Fighterstick, i wanted to keep the led's.
also left some wires in should i add pots later on..

CH Products ARE THE BEST

Hannibal,
That is great looking! You do first class work.

Can you show some pics of and/or talk about your work on the base of the collective? I'm curious how you are able to keep the collective in any position (springs, dampers, compression, whatever). I am still fiddling with mine using a counterbalance and dampers... it works, but I'm not sure it feels the way I want it to. banghead

Thanks,
Dud

i approve the use of counter balance, but i dissaprove the use of hydraulic dampeners
i tried to use carr-mcmaster dampeners in a design i had 5 years ago, but it would be server to use on the wrists.
always think egronomics.

my current design works with a counter balance spring and friction through a collar clamp.
im away from home at the moment, but my design was based of this thread..
http://www.hovercontrol.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=43;t=22128

he uses an aluminum clamp and a derlin rod,
my collective uses derlin clamps and an aluminum rod (1" diameter to be exact- the bigger the better for increased friction area)
the answer i got from this thread was derlin collar clamps..
enco.com is a good place to get them

today i was playing with DCS UH-1H helcopter and flew with the guys on the SimHQ teampseak server.

after 5 months of work, i am satisfied with the functionality of my helicopter controls after some tweaking...
at first it was not that great to use..UNTIL

a) i moved my seat forward ( the wrist rests on the the CH controller grips would not be egronomically comfortable to hold when my seat was back, i feel like using a clothes iron to melt away half the wrist rests)
b) and making no adjustments to the axis curves (at first i adjusted the curve cause i thought my stick was sensitive)

i kind of want to get rid of the wrist rests on the grips.. but maybe in the future..

I've been using extended shaft sticks for the last couple of years. Same as you, one of the first things I noticed was that I didn't need joystick curves anymore.
I have all my sims set at linear with no curves and no dead zones.

yep. agreed! i just wish the huey would respond quicker.... when i bring the joystick out, it is 1:1 for the most part. but when i quickly place the physical controller back to center, the view controls on DCS UH-1H seem to drift back to center...

something u know that i dont?
