Mine is quite busy with 10 screens!

The six smaller screens are the Saitek Pro-Flight Instrument panels. To the right is the Touchscreen with my ArmA profile.

OMG I'm so in-love with your set up!! Now that's what I'm looking to do.

That second one Xmaster reminds me of the field in the MGS5 E3 teaser site after the countdown finished and it became sunny...

Bucc, that is one heck of a set up!

A question:

Have you ever used them all at once???? I can see a use for 3 - 4 at once, but 10! Wow!

In a flightsim, definitely. The side screens let you look out your side windows, and the small panels give you instruments without cluttering your view. If it were a helo, I'd want more screens for above and below views. You're not a hardcore gamer until you're a hardcore flightsim player.

We can't all be s00pa-1337 like you Scratch

Nah, I can't lay claim to flightsim-levels of 1337-ness.

I just visit their sites occasionally and see the extremes they go to. And then get a napkin to wipe drool off my keyboard.

The saitek instruments (used as the bank of six - airspeed, altitude, compass, HSI etc) only work (via simconnect) with FSX. Although they do ship with an SDK. So who knows, one day they could display LUA data from ArmA for example.

I have the DTH2G so sidescreens are used. Have also used the touchscreen since the early days of the Touchbuddy software (thanks Zorlac). My ArmA one TB profile appeared in the UK edition of PC Format, when they were doing a Touchscreen review.

So yes, I use them all.

LoL Browna, I like how everything is camo'd except the UK flag on the guy's rifle....win.

This is essentially what my desktop looks like - taskbar hide, please, and I have the Dell dock thingy, so all my files are accessed through there or win-r.

**Ferris Bueller** · 08-10-2009, 02:06 AM

My laptop desktop (the launcher bars are minimized normally):

**dfg872** · 08-10-2009, 03:16 AM

Yeah, flight sim setups can be pretty hardcore. I'm ok doing flight sim on one screen. If I want the non sim experience, I'll go up and fly. After all, you can get your private pilot's license for less then the cost of most of those hardcore system setups.

**EmperorMustard** · 08-10-2009, 10:09 AM

Always have a happy day with this background I use

Looks pretty bare at the moment because recently we did a full system cleanup thing...
