My Home Cockpit Setup

[bromanlaca]

did you turn off the MFD or is it giving you problems like mines?

[william273]

@bromanlaca

i had problems and it stopped working. keyboard still works but some keys stick.

saitek stuff looks good but doesn't last long. had other saitek gear and it fell apart also, garbage in garbage out.

[bromanlaca]

mines started giving me problems as well.I barely use the darn thing and it cuts on & off during gameplay.You're right their products look amazing but die out for no reason!

[aeromasterslefjohn]

@bromanlaca did you download the drivers from saitek website i did and mfd turned on

[william273]

@aeromasterslefjohn

i think i did but some of the keyboard keys don't work properly either.

[mancrushonhanksnow]

Hell you could play some serious Flight Simulator with that stuff. (lol I'm pointing out the obvious).

[william273]

it can become obsessive, LOL.

[gluthahia]

You have all the stuff!

cool!

[william273]

lol, thanks.

[terawattz]

looks almost like my cockpit.but i have the acer preditor pc and rudder pedals.

[haroldvideos]

yeah I LIKE IT AS A COMPUTER BUT I HATE IT AS A HOME COCKPIT

[snowballinelpaso]

Dude, put all that money into some flight lessons, and you won't need all the fancy controllers which do nothing for you.

[alexe693]

@snowballinelpaso honestly flight sim is soo realistic its almost like flight lessons, there is a section devoted to teaching about real world flying but your right, nothing can replace the real thing

[lucabadue]

i have the saiteck x52 (your version) and the eclipse 1 !

[omgamibig]

My x52 is all worn out :/

[william273]

mine too...didn't last very long.

[flyingking12093]

Ha i have those same flight controllers!!! I LOVE THEM!!!! they are very responsive!!! And easy to use

[ns81]

You're a huge nerd. I love it.

[NewBraza]

i want your keyboard

[NFS0Undercover]

BUY IT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[etnies1986]

dont bother the damn thing sucks.. go for a razor :)

[thrasher467]

where did you get your background?

[william273]

i think i downloaded it from boeing.

[gc1994]

how much did the joystick and throttle cost? and is that a motion sensor you got on top of screen?

[william273]

under 100.00, track ir on the monitor.

[rocketfastproduction]

ANYONe skETCHY ON THE x52 buy it!!!!!

[Kobeydurham]

hey, put the throttles on the other side its easiest for me

[william273]

hi kobey. the stick broke so i'm using my logitech wingman extreme 3D now. thanks.

[Kobeydurham]

oh that sucks

[PilotCube]

What, did this stick break? What is your conclution to this Saitek X52? I don't know if I'm going to buy one myself or not. If not, I'm looking a littlebit on this Logitech Extreme 3D Pro also. Please answer with a lot of information if you can! :D

PilotCube

[william273]

pilotcube, the saitek looks really cool, was on sale so i bought it. it is light in weight which is a sign of cheapness in my opinion. the logitech wingman extreme 3D is a heavy stick with alot of weight, had it for years and still works good. i'd go with logitech.

[PilotCube]

I'm going to buy a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, is this the same as the -Wingman- you're referring too? If not, will it be a good product?

PilotCube

[william273]

are you getting it at a store? where you can put your hands on it? check it for weight to make sure it's heavy, more so than most sticks.

i think it's the same stick but updated. mine is a few years old and the new one looks a bit different but it's probably the same. a heavy stick is always a good sign a light one stay away from.

[william273]

just FS9. would have to upgrade again for FSX,lol.

[quivier]

dude that is sick nice

[hihi128]

i like your setup ,and keyboard...

[william273]

[usamichael3]

[william273]

[ddragon1234]

x52, trackir, and a big monitor - thats my dream set up lol

[william273]

thanks ddragon.

[kekecom]

nice!

[william273]

thanks kekecom.

[JoeMcNugget37]

NICE SETUP !!!!!!!!!!!!

[william273]

thanks joe.

[william273]

The stick/throttle combo were on sale and i wanted a keyboard that illuminated in the dark so it all came out well. that resolution on a HDTV must have been nice.

[B747B777B737]

Oh my god!! Awesome!

[william273]

thanks B747.

[Jordache22222]

I've tested that joystick and although is fancy I didn't like it. It is too rigid, the spring is pushing too hard the joystick back to the idle/vertical position so you need too much force to turn. Small moves around central position are also very imprecise because of this mechanism. I use the much cheaper Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro USB. It is extremely precise and easy to use.

[william273]

works good for me. i don't move the stick much anyway...just enough pressure to make the stick move a fraction. i can almost say if ya see the stick move at all it's probably to much.

[poisunoskid]

so thats how you do such good landings. you got a fully set up cockpit. nice 1

[william273]

thanks aman.

[Title27GT]

It's a shame you waste it on such shitty add-ons

[DATANK1436]

Shitty?

[william273]

ya gotta tell me why you don't like them. do you have ANY of them? if not how can you tell if they're shitty?

[william273]

i've seen alot of your comments around youtube and all you do is talk shit. you have no videos for others to comment on or throw shit at. you should hold off on your comments til you get some vids up.

[Kobeydurham]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i love the X52!!!!!!

[william273]

thanks kobey, it is a good combo.

[Kobeydurham]

Cool hey i got moved up to a 757-200 Pilot :) i will miss the Delta 738 th :*( but i like the 752 more

=D
