Eamoe Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Have had this lying around for years. It really is incredibly bad design. It's intended for FPS games but is a total pain to use that way. And I thought: let's mod this thing and I'll have a makeshift UFC! The cool thing is, the device is automatically recognized as a DX controller, no need to map keystrokes -- just assign stuff directly in DCS. Feels nice finally being able to feed the scratchpad from a physical controller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspet Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Have had my Numpad set up like this for the UFCP for the last couple of years. It works really well :-) Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Muhammad Ali-(Cassius Clay) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamoe Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice. I like your layout. BTW, what's the display device behind your MFCD "frame"? I've seen iPads... how do you handle yours? Might consider upgrading to that too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eamoe Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Okay cool. But: this monitor's ratio is... what? 3:1 ?! Or did you saw one half off of it? No wait I know. You drilled a slit through your desk and the 3:4 display is actually recessed into the desk? Doesn't it hang in your knees' way? :lol: Also nice tape job. You look like you could build a house out of it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspet Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yep you got it. cut a hole in the top of the desk and it sits on the keyboard draw... my knees are free (couldn't operate the rudder peddles otherwise) :thumbup: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee Muhammad Ali-(Cassius Clay) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamoe Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 Cool. Voluntarily damaging furniture for DCS is commitment. I have damaged my office chair to accomodate a throttle block. I plan to carry on damaging.:pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
