Very nice! I like your speaker setup with the 2 back speakers mounted right by your ears! Must be very immersive. :)

Next step, Oculus, and you'll be falling out of your chair. :D

Very nice! never knew you could get such a thing - is there an ED use for it?

BTW. I'm intrigued buy the wallet next to your joystick. Is that where you keep all your moths? :twisted:

Some nice looking setups here. I play the game with keyboard and mouse (I know, how? right). I am actually very good at landing and flying now.

Don't feel bad. I was so eager to play that I started with mouse/kb, and still use mouse/kb, even after my HOTAS finally arrived. I'm just.... comfortable with it. haha. I may finally relent and relearn everything with the HOTAS, but... I can't say I am in a huge rush.

Haha yeah I just got my HOTAS joystick in the mail today. Pretty much spent the entire evening reconfiguring my keybindings and re-educating myself on basic flight/landing. A big change from my 360 controller, but the level of control I now have makes me wish I had made the switch sooner.

Looks good so far! I'm rather intrigued to see the final product!

As for still using mouse/kb ... I think a big part of it is just me being lazy. Or overworked. Mixture of the two. I'd like to have a good few days in a row to just sit and play around in the sims with the T.Flight, but so far work isn't playing nice like that. :P
One of these days... One of these days.

Mouse/kb really isn't so bad once you put pitch and roll on the kb, and tweak the mouse settings so that it will always go back to center instead of dragging your mouse all over the desk. ;)
