Nice pit:mrgreen:
Where did you get the seat cushion from, looks very comfortable…
Mogas……

Thanks. Pit is still a work in progress. Not shown in the last pictures posted but I made the seat back cushion to match the bottom. You can barely see it in the pictures at the beginning of this thread. A buddy of mine that flew the C-17 was issued the bottom cushion when he was active duty. He no longer used it so he gave it to me. I was going to order the matching seat back which zipped to the bottom cushion but the seat back was nearly $300.00 US. The one I made came to about $40.00 US.

Its a Simple, but its Great project….

Geez. Great answers guys.
I play a lot of iracing and some guys go mad (or am I jealous) with their racing pits. But that Falcon pit is just awesome. -
Back on topic:
Technically Falcon4 BMS does NOT support multiple screens for visuals. It allows one view with very wide format, and the graphics hardware then splits it for several desktops.If you consider MFD extraction as multiple screens, then that part BMS does comply with. And then you can use MFDE for other instruments extraction.
But only one 3D view so far. Doesn’t stop you from making a great pit.

Where did you get the buttons for the ICP, the switches and Knobs for the consoles from?
Awsome Pit BTW

Thanks. The ICP was manufactured by Propnut. Here is the thread on his ICP. https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?15107-DIY-ICP-Module He made them from scratch and he is selling them now as a DIY ICP kit. PM him and he can let you know if he still has any kits left or if he is going to make more.
The switches are various producers. They are not replicas of the real Viper. I just wanted a functional pit that I can fly. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so this is what I came up with. Most of the switches came from Radio Shack and the Knobs, Rotaries and controller boards came from Desktopaviator.com.
The On-On-On switches I got off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alco-Switch-MTG-226PA-Brand-New-ON-ON-ON-1-piece-/131120156584?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e875ecfa8 and http://www.delcity.net/store/search/p_789121.h_789123.t_1.n_y.jsp?search=7300048&x=0&y=0

Hey guys
Just getting back into BMS after a couple of years away from it. Question, from this post I see that multiple screens are supported and thats great. I’m running 3 27" screens as the main dispaly and 1 10" touch screen as the UFCD. 2 10" screens for my DDI. I know about the extractor and will set it up when ready but the one question I have is that my main screen at 5040x1050 looks like sorry to say crap because I can’t zoom out on the pit.
i’m trying to get something like this or at least to get it to zoom out a bit. sorry I don’t hava screen of what I’m seeing with BMS as I’m just setting everyting back up.
Thanks in avance for any help on this.

take a look at my Hot List… there must be a section like TrippleHead2Go there I talk about the settings in cfg file for FOV.

I think what you are trying to accomplish is to widen your FOV. You must go to you BMS Config file and change the FOV setting. I think the default is 50 or 80. I have mine set to 110. There is a thread on this and I will try and look for it. Also, you will probably have change the pitch limit for all your cockpit art files for every model aircraft so you have full pitch range in the 3d view. There is also another thread on this.

Anything GTX660ti and above will run 4 monitors, three for surround and a 4th, though I had to run it in windowed mode. Will drop the 4th monitor to another box shortly to avoid that
i looked at the specs for GTX660ti http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660ti/specifications and the Standard Display Connectors are One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One HDMI, One DisplayPort
my displays only have HDMI and VGA (cheap 1080p LDC TV). do i need to converter or something to HDMI or is there another card with 4 HDMI out?
thx
i guess the adapters are cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-DVI-I-male-to-HDMI-female-M-F-adapter-24-5-LCD-HDTV-DVD-/271408679448?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3f3137ca18
but a more general question is which card would people recommend in the $200 price range?
-
You can always get an ATI with 6 mini-display ports out, but I don’t recommend it (even though that’s what I’m running).
-
Why not?. A guy on my VW use an HD7970 with 6 mDP and he is very happy with it
-
depends on what u want to do… and what u have already.
-
i don’t have anything (other than my old laptop which seems to run BMS just fine on one monitor)
anyhow, i’m really in the $200 range so i’m leaning towards the GeForce GTX 750 Ti

if u r going to go for multimonitor and nvidia u will need an sli motherboard and a second vga, not the same, even an old 8800 will do just fine… its needed with softth to drive the third monitor. Now newer cards can drive 3 monitors solo, if they r all the same resolution, and the vga can support 3 at the same time. Also have in mind the more ram the vga has the better for multimonitor like +3gb.
All the rest are just money factor…
oh and take a look at the power consumption and your psu… -

This image is what I am looking at for the future. I am currently one 1 26" monitor, but was looking at a multi monitor set up. But I just don’t like the screen borders in between each monitor. To get this kind of resolution, you are looking at a projector on a wide curved screen. I am looking into that ATM. I am looking at higher end projectors with HDMI through inputs and the resolution quality for such a set up. I believe you can have up to around 120* projected onto a curved screen that is more realistic in terms of view angle and image representation. The problem I am looking at, however, would be any stretching and image quality problems when doing this kind of a set up. The screen would have to be a fair amount away from your actual position and how the resolution quality would be affected.
Does anyone run a projector set up? How is the image quality?
