Anarcho Posted March 10 Posted March 10 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 ๐ ย 9 2

AndreiTomescu Posted March 27 Posted March 27 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! ๐ย 1

AndreiTomescu Posted March 28 Posted March 28 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. ๐ So congrats and thx. P.S. the curved screen: does it give you a bit of panoramic feeling? 3

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. 1 1

ArgonV Posted April 16 Posted April 16 (edited) 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. Edited April 16 by ArgonV 5
AndreiTomescu Posted April 16 Posted April 16 gosh, guys... all of you have curved monitors....that is proof that it's really worth it. I have to get one. but i have to make it fit in my.....closet cockpit. With the track IR above. This is a challenge.... 1 hour ago, ArgonV said: Here is mine your furniture is so beautiful: wood in a modern cut. well, i don't know much about furniture, but this one i really like.

AndreiTomescu Posted April 16 Posted April 16 (edited) ๐๐๐ 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!! ๐ Edited April 16 by AndreiTomescu 1 1
daiphan Posted April 17 Posted April 17 (edited) Hi all, This is my rig in progress. I will have to tidy all the cords. Daiย Edited April 17 by daiphan 2 1
AndreiTomescu Posted April 17 Posted April 17 there is a dedicated tread with this. no need to start a new one, i guess. ย
AndreiTomescu Posted April 17 Posted April 17 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.

GiftGruen Posted April 17 Posted April 17 Well, the Screen is somewhat small ๐ย 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. )
brickcommander Posted April 18 Posted April 18 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 :-) ย 3

And does it have to be on casters?

I've had this for 30 years, it's been pretty solid and has moved 3 times.
brickcommander Posted April 19 Posted April 19 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. 1
AndreiTomescu Posted April 19 Posted April 19 Brick, my neighbour and colleague, welcome back into our community of sharing fun&such! You have a nice, nice cockpit. The gunsight/keyboard support is love the most! :) Hope your kid did let you use it!! ๐ Thing is, indeed I also love to improvise alot, gives me great satisfaction. Hope to come back , no, not out of the closet, it's my cockpit! but back with my curvy screen (still waiting for delivery)
