I'll post pictures soon. I share a room with my brother because of my new sister. So half the room is Thunderbirds and the others is stuffed animals/spiderman. Its hard being a big brother. I'll show you all my "cockpit" soon.

Ok. Here is my primitive setup. I plan on building one sometime in the future (thanks Rock and Red for your advice on that). 8) 8) Enjoy.

Cinch,

I particularly like the bottle of Beam in the bottom right hand corner of the pic. :lol:
I notice that everyone seems to be using LCD monitors as well as a multi-monitor setup. Nice.
Really makes me want to dump my CRT.

Hey LD, I don't see your tracker IR anywhere, did you dispense with that entirely?

Cheers everyone, nice setup... I once thought mine was cool, I now notice all kinds of things I suddenly "need."

Yessir, the Track IR wasn't really all that beneficial to formation flying. I still have it, but since I re-did my system I haven't felt any need to re-install it again.

I just added some minor adjustments to my setup I should have done a long-long time ago (eh, Redeye ;)). Drilled some holes and fit some extended cable ties (from RadioShack) through to a snug fit. Notice how the handle is offset perfectly to align with my armrest (not seen in picture) and my forearm. Sometime down the road, I'll start over from scratch and build a pit and get a projector too, but for now this works quite well and it's nicely fixated. Another interim fix I might add is to weigh down the bar stools even more at the base...

My setup is nothing to speak of... YET!!

So I thought I'd throw this one in... my other ride heading towards Perth over the Great Australian Bight. This is the flight deck of VH-EBB, which set a world record on it's delivery flight when they flew it from Toulouse in France to Melbourne Australia non-stop!

30K feet and M0.83... I'm glad I don't have one of these A330 flight decks at home; however, very cool picture! 8)

It seems like that the wall paper on the desktop is pretty common between you vTB's...

...is it just a VTB thing or is it avail somewhere for download? just curious :)
