Funny, I was thinking to start a similar post myself....ah well, CirX beat me to it.

Anyway, here is several pictures of my custom built pit:









I finished building this over the summer months and just picked up a 26-inch monitor to enhance the "immersion" effect. The frame is custom built from ABS pipe and PVC fittings. Flight stick is a heavily modified Saitek Aviator. I also have Saitek rudder pedals and a CH Pro Throttle. Sound system is a Creative Labs 5.1 surround sound setup. All the components (stick, throttle, pedals, switch panel, keyboard, and mouse) connect to a 7-port USB hub that is mounted under the monitor stand. This keeps everthing nice and neat and results in just a single USB connection to the PC.

Nice looking setup M8!
The Switch box details please, Home made?

Jivers nice setup
Got rid of my excellent yoke since I was determined to fly choppers in DCS, do not regret it per se , but I do miss my yoke

My ride (several years ago, although I have modified suspension, wheels and spacers recently):

LuseKofte,

Is that a cyclic I see there next to your stick?

Is that a cyclic I see there next to your stick?

I guess so, would be funny if that was a boarding aid

I was determined to fly choppers in DCS

Best regards - Mike

Good one Mike
Yes it is a collective for choppers, I thought a collective with twist throttle is a must, but now I know it is not, So if I bought one today I would probably choose the KA 50 one they got.


I got Huey
this is mine picture before shipping and posted at their Facebookgroup

You fellas from Norway do not do half baked things, that's sure.

Hello. I'm new to the forums but not new to IL2 1946. Back a few years ago I was hooked up with the buys on Bombs-Away.net, which is now long gone. I was a Squadron leader with JG-53 and flew missions over Russia with our Bf-109Fs. Computer problems and being burnt out caused me to drop out for a long time. So long in fact B-A closed down. Now after seeing your SAS website, the new updates, and mods for IL2 1946 has peaked my interest again. Well, so has DCS World, and IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad and Moscow too. A lot has changed since those days.

It's nice to have you here GT182.

Cheers!

Some really cool setups . Mine are really simple but these setups give me inspiration to do the same. Thanks to all for posting their setups.

Saitek FIP´s I got cheap. Do not use them though, X plane simply do not appeal to me, I consider FSX due to very good Narvik textures


Second hand monitor for cheap money. Use it for KA 50 and SU 25 T monitor.

I am adjusting things constantly, I am bidding on high end table yokes I hope I got space for, Try to get it as cheap as possible. I miss flying with a yoke

When I come to your house will you let me play?
