Shadow Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Not sure if this has been done yet. But I think it would be interesting to see what we all fly with. I'll Start: First, the Game Master And here is the office. Bit amateur, but it works for me:) I've since added (much to the annoyance of the neighbors) a Logitech Z-5300E Surround system. At three, it's rattling the pictures on the wall :twisted: Cheers, Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 how do you set up the 2 different monitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 how do you set up the 2 different monitors? Just plug 'em into your video card. Then right click somewhere on your desktop and select Settings in the Display Properties box. Click on Monitor 1 and tick the "Use this device as the primary monitor" box. Then, click on monitor 2 and tick the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" box. Hit Apply and you're good to go :wink: Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleTap Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Pretty intense looking setup, especially with the center mounted joystick. I will have to give the two monitor setup a go since I have them now. What exactly is displaying in the monitor on the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hi doubletap, After failing orienteering in grade nine, I have found the need for the crutch of a compass rose to figure out where I'm pointed when it says 54 degrees. So that is usually front and center. Then I have TS up so I can tell who I'm talking too without the need of TS Overlay. I usually have a map up if I'm flying in the online wars as the pop-up in game map is really next to useless in full switch. Really, though, there are a ton of things you can have. Stats for the A/C you'll be flying against or a movie for those long Pacific flights :wink: Cheers Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Very nice... does it eat up any frames? what's the hit, if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi Cold_Gambler I don't have any numbers for you, but there is a frame rate hit. Not much, though. I needed to drop my resolution down from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 to stay smooth when the flak starts up in a Pacific battle group. Base specs: P4@3Ghz, 1gig DDR 400, X850xtPE BUT...Enough about mine. Lets see some pics of youze guys stuff! Freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleTap Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I will show you mine when I am completely setup. I like the idea of the two monitor set-up, so I am going to give that a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish it was the original - I live in a victorian cottege built in 1910 but the bastards who put in the central heating in the 1960s butchered the floorboards- these are wood laminate replacements laid over the originals. fortunatly there still is a lot of character left in the house such as original doors and plasterwork features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Central heating? I did think there was such a thing in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Good Lord, I AM a slob. @ JensenPark: Clockwise from bottom left to bottom right- 1- Vibrating headset. 2- Leather strap with velcro; used to strap CH throttle to left leg. 3- house fan + open case = overclocking insanity 4- Trac-IR hat with active IR source powered by 9 volt battery. The geekBorg look. I've been assimilated. 5- Trac-IR1 unit (gift from BunBun) 6- LEGO biplane 7- IL2- laminated map- used once. 8- MSFFB2 (Microsoft rant) 9- Teething ring In the center: my nest of wires. There may or may not be a slice of 'zza there that's evolved and taken up residence. My CH pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
