I'll Show You Mine If...

[Shadow]

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,

how do you set up the 2 different monitors?

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:

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?

[Shadow]

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

Very nice... does it eat up any frames? what's the hit, if any?

[Shadow]

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!

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.

Here is my retreat.

Nice setup guitarman!

Is that Z-Board all it's cracked up to be?

[guitarman68]

Yes mate, its worth every penny( or dime dependant on which part of the world you are from )

[Tonar]

Nothing fancy, Maybe a new monitor in the future

[Cold_Gambler]

Good Lord, I AM a slob.

[JensenPark]

[Painless]

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

[JensenPark]

Central heating?

I did think there was such a thing in the UK.

[Cold_Gambler]

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.

~S~ gentlemen, if I may .... the best thing about a shiney wooden floor is, running across it naked, whilst looking down !!!!! LMAO (you think... YEAH RIGHT !!......wait a minute....... I'll give it a whirl !!) ~S~ Painless

BG sent me a shot of his...

As usual for BG, just a bit understated.

Rich bastard...
