I have been doing a little work on my FSX setup over the past few months and wanted to know what people thought about it.

I mounted the seats to plywood and put office chair wheels on them. The chairs recline.

Across the top are (3) 22 inch monitors on the Matrox TripleHead2Go setup. As soon as I get over the fear factor I'll be cutting the sides off the monitors so I can put them next to each other and not have the wide black frame.

Next the dash panel I just finished. From left to right I have Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel http://www.fspilotsh...12b7451922e8d95

Next to that is the Saitek - Pro Flight Radio Panel

Under the radio is Saitek - Pro Flight Multi Panel

Everyone knows the CHProducts Yoke, Throttle Quadrant and Pedals on the floor.

I will be adding this under the Pro Flight Switch Panel as soon as I can save the money.

I also made two new seats using seats from a truck.

How did I miss the center screen in the dash? That is a Mini 8" LCD Monitor with VGA Input & Touch Screen  http://www.vfmstore.com/tv2.htm

So what do you think?
