Colin S Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have the same Logitech Extreme 3D Pro! Most amazing joystick ever built, best feel - perfectly smooth. I just wish it hadn't broken after 4 years. I think I'll blow the $40 to get a new one since the X52 is, as I stated, awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Donick Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Made some small adjustments to the height (well, actually it required me to remove everything, move the shelves lower and rebuild everything again) and to the placement of yoke, monitor and FOV (to align the real yoke with the virtual yoke). I also placed the iPad next to the monitor for XAvion (very recommendable, by the way), and to get space for adding Saitek radio panels next to the other Saitek panels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat357 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 The denon is 925 total, but that's hooked to the entertainment stuff. The computer speakers are just a set of logitech surounds so I can listen to both, I don't know what they are. The denon is also hooked to the digital out of the computer so I can really p tick the wife off.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazAero Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Sad to say when I took this photo. I was running DCS at the time and not X-plane. edit:I guess it would help if I post specs… ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 MBCORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W PSUIntel I7 2600 K @ 4.2 GHZ32 GB RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws 8 GB x 4 Dual 4 GB GTX 670s10 TB HD total capacityThrustmaster MFD'sThrustmaster Hotas warthogSaitek control yoke, throttle quadrant, radio stack, LCD instrumentsSaitek cyborg control stick.Nostromo N 52Space pilot ProReal Flight Elite control box.Manhattan Mondo hub 28 port USB 2/3 hub.Matrox triple head to go digital edition with the patch for widescreen monitors.Track IR Pro3 matched HP 24 inch monitorsthe remaining monitors are a mix of 24 and 15 inch monitorsWindows 7 ultimate addendum: what is not shown is. I also have 3- 7 inch and 3- 8 inch USB monitors that I was going to use for instrumentation but the drivers are a pain in the butt. So I am not running them currently.I also wanted to just add, that some of the controls I built myself but are not in the picture, and are done using teensy 3.0 and buo3086X boards. One of them drives the old Thrustmaster rudder pedals and F-22/TQS which I had for years and I converted them from using a gameport to using a USB port instead. Because my motherboard does not support the old gameport connectors. finally, the 2 side tables are actually angled 6° up towards the monitors which makes for much more natural sitting position for the arms, but not enough angle that your drink slides back and spills For anyone who wonders, yes I do use it all. :-)some of the monitors were actually reclaimed from the local dump, repaired, and put back into service by me. I think that about does it Edited August 29, 2013 by JazAero 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying_pig Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 He did that with ease.Unrelated but Jazaero since you have 2 throttle quadrants why not move one to the other side so that you can always use the one that is one the correct side of the airplane?

I actually use them as gear flap and speed brake levers. I know that sounds weird but with the Thrustmaster HOTAS I really don't need anything else for throttle. I don't fly commercial multiengine and the aircraft I design, build and model are almost exclusively single-engine.check out my A4 Skyhawk in the "http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/595-what-did-you-fly-today/?p=58461" and http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/595-what-did-you-fly-today/?p=49296 and finally http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/595-what-did-you-fly-today/?p=49307that model was originally going to be offered as payware but my brother and I have reconsidered and may offer it as donation ware.

AnonymousUser68 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 That looks like a crazy setup Jim, I really like the tri-monitor setup! How do you rate the Saitek Cyborg F.L.Y. 5?

I am thinking about picking one up soon...I use it primarily for supplemental functionality. The dual throttle levers I actually use as Hand/parking brakes. Because it is a very smooth stick with very little spring tension. I find it to be very good for doing the ground vehicles in DCS. I also like the fact that it is completely adjustable to fit any hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
