Daniel Taylor Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have been thinking about a new setup for my flight sim and thought it was a good idea to start a thread where people can share how they use flight sim. And how they have setup a desk / cockpit environment. I will post my setup later today when i am home. I am looking for ideas, hope this gets some people posting photo's of how they sim!

Hi Daniel, all the best for your new setup. If you search the forum you will find that there already is/was a thread in which a lot of useres have posted their setups. Nevertheless, as time goes by it is a godd idea to start such a thread again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi, Here's mine displayed for public during Mondial of Simulation 2013 in Le Bourget: At home, I cannot connect the yoke and panels because I have no room for that. I just keep the triplehead display that free much place under the monitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBird Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Ha, I found it (the old thread: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/34858-lets-see-your-pitsnrigs/page-1?hl) Some nice setups there and certainly some very usefull information!

JimmiG Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 My setup: I like to keep things fairly simple since I also use the computer for music, web browsing, work and general gaming. Only takes a minute to remove/install the yoke and throttle quadrant. Internals of the system: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holi Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Very lucky man Holi Stu Yes I´m, but to a complete cockpit is still a long way to go.... But the good think is that I can fly between the construction steps and therefore it is still fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Terry Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Holi, a fab setup, I enhanced my three screen experience by adding three light weight black boards about 1 foot high above the screens so all I see are the screens and not the back wall above the screens. This also makes you feel you are leaning sideways left on a left turn as without the top covers the back wall keeps a horizontal reference in your eye. Just a suggestion.

simmerhead2 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Thanks Ken, I feel better now Ben We've all got to start somewhere. Didn't get my first joystic until FS2002 - only used keyboard before that. My Saitek setup has mostly caused me grief. Very poor quality on some of the modules.

Daniel Taylor Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey do most of the people here using 3 screens use a matrox tripple head 2 go. Or do you nvida cards in sli and use nvidia surround ? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi stu Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Digital TH2go for me.Even though i got a GTX680 and could use that for my 3 monitors i have just never got around to it.I have my settings and resolutions all good with my monitors and TH2go so im a happy camper.

As I'm not finally sure which way to go ( either 3 monitor set up or 3 HD Beamer and curved screen) I leave it as is. I fully agree that my present set up is not final, but will decide shortly..... I'm using a GTX 670 and 3 IPS 27" monitors in Nividia Surround with frame correction at the moment. I'm going to order a full HD beamer very soon and check how it works out on a big screen. I tried it with a simple beamer, just 1024x768 and was not satisfied, therefore I went back to the monitor setup 5888x1080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
