jskibo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Back into flying DCS / BMS stuff and wanted to get my bottom screen up and running. Since moving to the apartment I've had to downsize from my full size 737 pit to something smaller. A few years ago I had a custom stand made for my 3 40" LED panels. Did that when I thought I was going to get into iRacing. Quickly found out I suck at racing. The screens sit at perfect height for my Obutto, but the obbuto and the rudders don't play nice, to I removed the front half of the Obbuto and now just use the chair and stick mounts. I have had a FCC modded Cougar for 11+ years and it has served me well, but recently picked up a Warthog at a great price, so added that to the pit. I toyed around with a 23" lower monitor and some Cougar MFDs before but didn't like it and was looking for a touchscreen solution when I stumbled on GregP selling his 27" Acer touchscreen. So I added that to the bottom and put the 23" up top connected to another networked PC to pull up charts or whatever I need in flight. Now I'm just trying to figure out HELIOS and setting those damn lua's correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thick8 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The loz sm v2.1 profile would be a good place to start. You can edit the monitor lua file with minmal effort to match your setup.

Thanks, been playing with that one this morning. The EMC really makes it a lot easier. Time for some test flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thick8 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You can also remove the exported viewport from your main view screen for a boost in FPS. Can't remember where I got the zip file to do that. It was either in the DCS user files or at Gadroc's Where did you get the monitor stand? I want one.

Quickly found out I suck at racing. nothing happens in a blink of an eye. try race driver 3 or GRID (not grid 2), give it a time. you may find those 2 very enjoyable :thumbup: not a complete SIM racing, but very nice a mid of sim and arcade.

Monitor stand was built by a guy who was starting a sim racing chassis business call Fast track sims. Mark is great guy and builds a real quality project. Did it all by a few measurements off the screens I bought. Fully adjustable too. The 23" and 27" are just desktop clamp brackets attached to the frame that I added later.

Always liked Mil Sims a bit more, going back to Strike Eagle III and Tornado. I'm a commercial rated pilot as well so can always go grab time in the club Mooney if I need that non-Mil fix :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
