| Flight Sim Gear | |
John Elliott  18th Mar 2012 13:51:14 | Having recently been off following an op I decided to cheer myself up and sort out my set up. After chatting to some folk on here about about gear I got a new screen (now using 2 for the first time), chair and headphones. The new PC will have to wait for a few months now though. Finally feels like I'm getting there however.
Would be great to hear about and see other folks set ups and share ideas.  |
Nigel Harvey  18th Mar 2012 15:45:51 | Very nice John - I love having two screens - completely changed my sim experience.
What have you got above the ketboard, and what do you use them for? |
| John Elliott 18th Mar 2012 16:02:41 | Hi Nigel, thanks for that .. yes, 2 screens makes quite a difference having extraneous stuff on the second one (such as FSC, Teamspeak, VAFS, web browser etc.)
Above the keyboard I have an iPad on which I have PDF copies of manuals and charts as well as other things. Also, my phone which has a dedicated app on it for fuel calculations for the NGX |
Sam Almog 18th Mar 2012 16:21:12 | Another approach.
(three screens, utilizing AMD Eyefinity technology http://www.amd.com/uk/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/for-consumers/Pages/what-is-eyefinity.aspx) Operated by my co-pilot (lol)  |
Isak Kindgren  18th Mar 2012 18:48:28 | Nice setups, will upload a pic of mine :) (nothing fancy)
Sam where did you buy that amazing co-pilot? Can she handle SIDs and STARs? ;) |
James Milligan  18th Mar 2012 19:10:54 | Where did you get the skin for Teamspeak? |
| Sam Almog 19th Mar 2012 07:27:13 | Search the web for TS skins.
The skin above is TS3 |
| John Elliott 20th Mar 2012 04:53:18 | Interesting setup Sam and thanks for posting ...do you prefer to have 3 independently working screens, all showing different things ? If I had 3, I might be really tempted to have 2 or all 3 hooked up in panorama cockpit mode (not that I would know how to do that).
As for the co-pilot ... I can't really comment on that ... it brings the concept of 'simulations' to wholly different levels |
| Sam Almog 20th Mar 2012 09:46:33 | Hi John, myself prefer three screens independently.
Its not practic to handle a cockpit on a group of two or three screens. Learn more from the following clip I found on Youtube. |
