Welcome to my three year obsession / madness.  Don't say I didn't warn you.   :devil

I add enhancements and cosmetic changes all the time...too damn many to list.  I think I'm on revision 138 or 139....not sure which as I've lost count.

Base pit is Obutto with Triple Monitor Mount and Table Top.  I added the Carbon Fiber and leather coverings, kitbashed the throttle, panel and interchangable dual joystick mounts as well as a cup holder for tasty beverages.   :cheers:

The monitors are 27in Viewsonics.  Small monitor is a 10" touchscreen I use for Helios profiles (you see one running I'm still working on in the picture where I'm in Aces High).

Also installed pullout keyboard tray with a mouse pullout which I use to hold a Logitech G13 when I play first person shooters like Day of Defeat Source.

 :joystick: Controllers: Thrustmaster Warthog, Thrustmaster Cougar with FSSB force sensing mod (for my Falcon 4 BMS driving), Goflight throttle quadrant and panels.  TrackIR 4.

The pedals are heavily modified FlightLink RMS hydraulic sim pedals with the metal cover replaced with a "pleather" one I made in order for the unit to fit in the pit base. I replaced the crappy Flightlink board with a Leo Bodnar BU0836A.  Also replaced the old potentiometer with a Vishay rotary Hall Sensor.

Nice setup Fulcrum. One suggestion, upload a plain black background, any black square will do, next time you print a legend for the MFD's.

Ahhh Midway.   One augur (which is your only kill on me ever ...but I digress) and you crow as if that defines someone.  What are we at now now...10 (me) to 1 (you)?  Thanks for you comments on the setup tho'...keep stirin' that pot.

FLS:  yep, I'm actually in the process of reprinting a new background for the MFDs so I can see the labels....I like the idea...I may go ahead and print one with a carbon fiber background as well (assuming I don't go and mount a pair of 7" LCD touchscreens behind the MFDs...MUHAHAHAHAHH!!   :t
Going by "Hoplite" now. :)

Nice setup PAND...how do you keep your Pedals from slipping all over the place? Mine slip all over the place unless i put them up against the wall. I am extremely violent with my rudders though.


Put Velcro on the bottom and it will stick to your carpet.
