Do you use a special flight simulation gear?

[Rango]

Hi all

 

I guess there are a lot of sim-pilots who built a special gear to enhance the flight simulation feeling. May be it's a fixed base system with a special seat (possibly with a selfmade cockpit?) or even a moving gear (up to a full-flight simulator system).

 

Anyhow - if you use a special simulation gear I want you to make it public here.

 

To contribute something to this topic by myself, here is my gear (even if it's only a modest affair):

 

It's a Speedmaster Flightseat with some selfmade modifications:
1. additional mounting plate to get the monitor closer to the player

2. additional mounting rack to raise the Thrustmaster stick to a convenient position)

 

Other used gaming devices:

TrackIR 5, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, Saitek F-16 Pedals, Headset Sennheiser PC 323D

 

Monitor: AOC 2795E (resolutuion 1920x1080)
PC: MSI Z77A-G41, Intel i5-3570 3.4 GHz, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 660 Ti 3GB GDDR5, Windows 7 64 Bit SP1

 

 

Okay, looking forward to see your posts to this topic.

S!

 

 Where did you get that thingy? Looks like one to have as I want to put my computer away from the living room. Also getting the stick where it belongs too and throttle. I would put it on the left side as so it was in WW2 era fighters

Wow. My wife would leave me if I bought one, but that does look like fun.

How much does a set up like that cost, roughly (excluding PC and monitor)?

The basic seat ist available here:

 

http://www.speedmaster2.de/index_en.html (choose 'product' --> 'speedmaster flight')

 

The costs are about 500,- to 600,- EURO (if not available in online shop, ask for personal offer by email).

I have lots of specialized stuff for flight sims including an X-55, CH Pedals, TIR5 and now an Oculus Rift. Come to think of it, pretty much the whole PC is for that purpose.

I think this deserves an award for reviving the oldest thread lol.

 

My goodness, I have spent more on PC parts, and peripherals, just for flight simming than I care to even think about.  I don't even want to think about adding it all up. I am sure it would be eye opening.
