Isak Kindgren   18th Nov 2011 17:53:20 | Hello guys,
So, as I got two 24" screens at my computer I thought I could try to make my flightsim a bit more realistic. So my config right now is two 24" screens, Saitek Pro Flight yoke and rudder pedals, a BIG 5.1 sourrond system, a pair of Keid 20 earphones for communication, and an unimportant keyboard and mouse. It's far from done but I won't spend any money on it:) Not much.. So this is the first time I test so I'll give you some pics and then maybe you guys can comment on what you like/dont like and what would be cool if I had, I would really appreciate some inspiration. Hope you guys like the pics, even though some of them ended up bad because of the dim light. I will do some test flights later this evening! 
So that's about my setup right now, the only thing is that I have the instruments in an about 30-40 degree angel on an external screen so I can see them better! Isak |
James Milligan  18th Nov 2011 23:23:01 | Looks great up to now, ingenious idea for cost effictive 3d cockpit. Would be cool if the bottom screen was touch screen, because the you could programme the FMC using it, but even if it was touch screen I wouldn't have an idea where to start or even if it's possible... cue dave... |
| Isak Kindgren 19th Nov 2011 10:03:29 | Thanks James, but already have problems with it.. Can't use programs like Squawkbox and FSInn (Not FSOpen) cause then my bottom screen gets inverted so that the PFD is upside down and same thing with the FMC, the ND and the engine instruments :) And when I drag them up (mouse moving up) they go down ;)
But I've taken contact with FSInn support and Squawkbox and just submitted a ticket to PMDG as well :) |
| James Milligan 19th Nov 2011 10:04:42 | Not sure about fsinn but can't you install squawkbox on a different computer? |
| Isak Kindgren 19th Nov 2011 10:06:56 | Yes I was thinking about that, but the only other computer I have is an old HP Laptop with a non genuine Windows copy on it :) But thanks, will try that out!
It's only that I'm using acars but I guess that could run in the background on my main PC! |
| Isak Kindgren 19th Nov 2011 11:55:22 | Tanka again James, running FSInn on a remote laptop and tested it out at EGKK and works great:D |
| Isak Kindgren 19th Nov 2011 11:55:41 | Thanks* Swedish iPad autocorrect ;) |
| James Milligan 20th Nov 2011 00:25:33 | It's fine, enjoy! |
