There was an topic on the old forum where everyone posted their cockpits and setups, it was nice to see old setups there since that topic was OLD... I couldn't find that one here, can we start a new one?

Pretty happy with my setup now, installed some banana plugs for the bass shakers, so the wires are not in the way anymore ๐Ÿ™‚

Besides how incredibly perfect Ebot's cockpit is (wow!) I can't fail to notice that the cockpit is rigged for high altitude/low temperature. Pls observe the large heating radiator to the right! ๐Ÿ™‚ย

Depending on the heater settings, you can simulate cabin fire too lol

ReviZorro, mate, your collection of sticks is really impressive!!!

Funny fact, it really brought me a kind of pleasant flashbacks from some time ago: I knew a girl, she also had a large collection displayed like this, only of a slightly different nature. ๐Ÿ˜…

So congrats and thx.

P.S. the curved screen: does it give you a bit of panoramic feeling?

Yes, of course, but I use this screen for third-person shooters, RPGs, and other stuff like that; for aviation and racing simulations, I prefer to use VR.

I'm fortunate, my Wing Commander at least lets me use one half of the spare room.

Here is mine! I have some seemingly ancient looking HOTAS tech, but I've upgraded it over the years with better gimbals, sensors and so on.

You may have to come out of the closet Andrei.ย ๐Ÿ˜ย Subject to the wife's approval of course.

๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† good one. Can't really do that, she's gonna get at least half of my money. And since half of my life she already did ! ..... it'll try to stay in the shadows.ย 

Theoretically, I can squeeze a 34" wide curved screen in there. But optimal would be a 31,5". Found that size only in blondes and Phillips. Love the former, guess I'll go with the latter ?

And AOK, and lg... man, there are plenty of curved "girls" out there matching my smaller size!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

also, Dai, I think it's better not to share personal info unnecesary on the open web. There are zillions of bots and stuff that search and steal personal data and such. In the (pretty impressive! good job!) picture you've posted on the left background another screen is open......some damn AI can trace you with that.

Okay so - thatโ€˜s my rig.

Since 4 of 5 Kids already are adult and live in their own flats, I have the luxury to have a โ€šgaming roomโ€˜ at the moment โ˜บ๏ธ

Well, the Screen is somewhat small ๐Ÿ˜‰ย but I am 100% VR. Could never go back to Flatscreen.

( I am not a competitive PvP-Simmer. I know that Flatscreen still has some advantages here cause of spotting and IDing. )

Here is my recently upgraded cockpit. Starting to get ready for Korea! Nothing too special but it feels immersive enough in VR.ย 

My wife has been so kind as to allow me to have this setup in our giest bedroom (with the last 3 years of war we don't get many out of town visitors these days anyways).

ย 

Anyways, this is my first post here after lurking for years, so... hi everybody :-)

Welcome! How do you like the Boeing chair? And does it have to be on casters?

Thanks! I've had this for 30 years, it's been pretty solid and has moved 3 times.

I just assembeled the boeing chair last week and so far I love it. It is a bit of a pain to get in/out, bit worth it in my opinion.

ย 

It doesn't need casters, but it is extremely heavy and without them it would have been extremely difficult to position it.

Hope to come back , no, not out of the closet, it's my cockpit! but back with my curvy screen (still waiting for delivery)
