Cockpit layout pics
« on: April 26, 2010, 01:26:15 PM »
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in posting a picture of their cockpit.  Basically where do you sit, what your desk looks like, monitor, joystick etc...  I am interest in the ergonomics people use when playing.  I started thinking about this as I started looking for a new desk and wanted to get something that works really good for AH.

There used to be a long thread around here that had pics of peoples setups. I have no clue what it was titled though.... :(

This is my new area of play...I got sick of the ack rolling over in her sleep make I'm sleeping but you are bugging me noises....so I moved....I was just on your average comp desk prior....now just for a bigger screen and I'm set...(A new PC wouldn't go amiss but that can wait a bit.
Flashed it so you could see

Love the red light SPKmes!   :aok

I was thinking about buying a desk but some of the best looking setups are home built.

LOL...put yourself in the dungeon? Nice. I hope that is a CFL bulb taped above the keyboard...unless you're really needing the heat down there.



This is what I use for my dirt dart tricks. Just got the new TM stick...replaced a Saitek X stick which only lasted a year...22 inch Acer, Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas X, G5 mouse, Cyborg keyboard, TekNMotion headset, Core Duo 2.4Ghz system...all low budget but it works.

It's funny bro.   The older my son gets (he'll be 9 in Sept.), the less I drink around him and I have never been "drunk" around him to begin with.  I have too much respect for him and myself, to ever be in that state around him in the first place.

It's usually swigs of Scotch here, swig of vodka there and joking around with squaddies.   However, when Lute and I have been drinking, it's nothing short of comedy gold on squad vox.
