It's classified.
So are the full F-22/F-35 cockpits. And pictures of it can be found all over the internet now. :lol:

That's because what's classified isn't shown in the images. ;)

Great seeing you guys out there. The whole event was so much better than I ever anticipated. I'm glad you guys at SC were able to contribute.

I'm just :15 from the hockey center in Grapevine! Let's grab a beer soon.
For sure!!! I am assuming this is Todd, I haven't matched up everyone's callsigns with names yet but I remember you said you lived right up the road in Keller. I'll get your details on Facebook and we can definitely meet up sometime. :)

Do you really want to see it? :shock:
Yes we all really do!!! Sheldon we got to take care of ol Rick, I have to see what he is working with. Whatever pit he is flying it serves him well because he flew pretty damn good in LA at TM's E3 demo.

Looks like I'm late to the party :lol: Welcome to the forum guys, it was great to meet and work with you all - we all did an excellent job, it was an awesome event. I really enjoyed flying your A-10 pit, but I felt bad that you guys didn't get more stick time.

Holiday, it looks like your pit is coming along nicely! Must be a fun project.

About my pit, well . . . I'll PM you all a video - but it is for your eyes only.

And hey Sheldon, if you ever fly into an airport around Atlanta and have some time to kill, maybe we can go fly the Cub 8)

It was great to meet you Ray!!! and thank you for the forum welcome. My pit is coming along slowly but surely. We need to get you taken care of so you'll have something to fly in :) I am installing FC2 after a fresh reformat, we all need to link up sometime either on the VTB Ventrilo or our Teamspeak3 server and fly sometime. Off simulation topic a lot of us at SCS are pre ordering ARMA II Operation Arrowhead (comes out June 29th), anyone interested in playing with us give us a shout!!! We are not all simulation, lol. We like to shoot people every now and again too :) FC2 + ARMA II Operation Arrowhead get the best of both worlds. By the way Ray, do you have Windows Live Messenger?

The video definitely made the impact with Ray's setup.

This is a bit dated, but represents my setup when I joined the team last year.

Since then I replaced the sidestick stand with a couple of cinder blocks which I quik-clamped the FCC Cougar to. Haven't had to clamp down the Warthog.

It ain't about the setup, it's about the button-pusher! :lol:

Comfort and consistency really do matter though.
