Cool setup Shep. I don't have the money or the patience for something like that.


Pretty sure you shot me down a few times in WB, before I jumped ship...welcome to AH.

nice pit
do the switches work ingame?
Is that a thrustmaster setup?
How do you like the triple head?
is that a fourth monitor below the dash, and how do you link it if it is?
I'm usually on late evenings(WEST COAST USA) usually late war arenas if you want to fly together.

I'll post pictures of one of my pits later today when I get to my other computer.

do the switches work ingame...yes they do everything is functional
thrustmaster setup....again yes it is
TH2Go is awesome, in the pic it looks like bezal is messed up but that is paralax error...sitting in the pit everything lines up nice.
and the Track IR is a must
as far as the 4th monitor...thats just a background ATM still trying to decide how to implement it as AH2 doesn't support displaying gauges on a diffrent monitor AKA "GLASS gauges"  :cry

I mainly get to log in 8pm-11pm(central time) sun-thurs and 8pm-zzzzzzzz Friday and Sat.
ill look ya up

oh not my wife LOL  :t Actualy she cant stand the thing, but I built it in a water heater closet in the garage and I explained it was that or I could just go out drinking with the friends and leave her and the kids at home. she understands now but still hates it! (actualy I dont drink  :angel: ) hence the name sheperd

I will help anyone through the building process it is actualy very easy.

One of the most informative pit building sites http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php?topic=4832.0. Though its for viperpits ( my 1st build was for Falcon 4.o AF) it has loads of great building tips!

Gawd, I love it, but the girlfriend would have an absolute fit. 

I'm not too far from 3 monitors though, just ordered an eyefinity vid card, so I'm 1/3 of the way there. 

I'm so jealous man, thanks for posting!
