Very nice indeed… and black too for stealth purposes (when you spill crap on yourself)
I just use a wide/narrow keyboard table and an office chair. Old school and boring I know, but hey, I do have a real ACESII seat cushion!
:rolleyes: -
Thanks guys! It’s really not black but rather dark gray… but the lighting isn’t too great in the room plus looking at my monitor stands, there is very little difference in color between it and the simpit.
I do have a keyboard tray under that center touchscreen but it’s such a pain to use… so I just type with the keyboard on my lap.

Another question for correct positioning o monitor.
Should I put the gun cross at eye level or the horizon? -
In the real jet, there’s a function for that, but not implemented in BMS
Quote from -34:
Seat Adjustment for Design Eye. HUD symbology coincides with the real-world scene at the design eye position. To
find the design eye, a test pattern is available via the TEST switch on the HUD remote control panel (Figure 2-53). The seat
should be adjusted so that each test pattern bar can be clearly seen.
Seat Adjustment for Design Eye Procedures.
1. HUD remote control panel TEST switch - ON.
2. Boresight pattern - Select.
Depress the TEST switch once (boresight pattern appears on the HUD).
3. Seat - Position.
Position the seat up or down as required to position the triangle at the top and bottom of the HUD.For most pilots its a clenched fist between helmet & canopy. Watching several ramp starts in the past I’ve seen them do that a lot.

Thanks focal, but I was referring to my monitor height relative to my eyes.
The red line should point to the gun cross (as seen on the monitor and seems to be in the vertical center of it) or elsewhere?
Just to know if the pilot looking straight out in front of him will see the upper part of the hud or he shall lower a little the eyesight. -
Don’t really know, would depend on the FOV you use in combination with your screen resolution+dimensions too. I use an FOV so that the width of the HUD is close the real width/height. Then I recenter my TIR so that when looking forward, the hud cam is level with my second monitor that also holds my ICP.

ahahahaha!:D
I’ve done the best I could with my drawing skills!Imagine what YAME could look like if Focal was not in the team…
