Oh well I will just have to see what I can do with thisxwhen it comes out. The more I think about it the more I'm starting to think that this might Negate the reason why I wanted touchscreen in the first place.

Yeah that does answer pretty much all my questions thanks. What I want to do for my simpit is to choose a ship like the xr2 or the dg4 And emulate that ships panels as much as I can through remote mfd and mount them on touch screens (think star trek TNg console) I am eagerly waiting the release...

Will this work with multiple outputs on one comp? Say I had 1 of with Mint graphics for the main display and then another of for up to say 4 displays? I'm also guessing that u can make it display almost anything you want? So if you wanted to make a copy of the 2d Panel and put it on a big...

I have to keep an eye on this. A 2D panel on a touchscreen would be good enough to satisfy my simpit urges.

So just so I am up to play with this project. ( I have been out of the loop for a while) the aim is to have a seperate program running on another computer or laptop that will allow you to full screen remote MFD's? What are the chances of doing this with the full 2d panel? That I would be...

thats awesome!! good to see my homeland looking so good. what hardware/addons are you runnng? and at what altitude. my orbiter experience never looks as good as that

funny my orbiter crashes when i try load up the hyperdart. could be my poos computer

After looking at the link, a touchbuddy may solve my most immediate problems for now. the dual monitor setup sounds good. I will just have to play round

Thanks for the reply. Its good to know that almost anything is possible, but I will wait to find out how LockingToggle did his one. I should really admit that my knowledge is limited to hardware and electronics i dont really know the first thing about programming especially in orbiter. Are...

Kinda back on the original topic, this kind of thinking isn't new. the New Zealand Military discovered a long time ago that off-the-shelf windows based components are a lot more versatile and cost effective solution than dedicated military hardware. The fact that windows is everywhere means...

Yeah well its no secret that I want to build a sim pit of my own. For now i think it will be limited to a desktop board with physical representations of some of the 2d panel switches so that i dont have to keep clicking the damn buttons all the time. I notice on your center panel that you have...

Can you elaborate on what that does? I was thinking that this cockpit would be an awesome basis for a simpit. Also whens the real military version going to come out, one with lasers and bombs etc etc. :P

Bloody awesome, when you get time you will have to give me more info on those MFD's I was going to play around just trying to get one going and then do up a tutorial on it (or even if im good enough, building and shipping them). I would almost say that ripping a keyboard apart would be almost as...

Im against the militarization of the planet.... and I'm in the army. Its just one of those necessary evils, as much as I want world peace, I do not believe that humans should discard their martial skills. I am certain that we are not alone in the universe and it would be extremely naive to...

Im actually liking the fan art enterprise in the first post as oppose to the movie version. Whoever coined the term "iNterprise" has it right on the money, it looks like something designed by apple. Not that I mind this as the thing that always set star trek apart was that it was a rather clean...

Is that pic of the "New enterprise" in the first post actually from the movie? cos i know there was a lot of similar "fan-art" floating around when the new movie was announced. I think what we have to remember is that the original enterprise was designed back in the 60's. It was pretty "out...

Ive been reading this simpit subthread and its got me really interested. Im quite keen on building one soon, though this would have to be done in various stages: 1: Build a new computer with PCIe so I can use multiple cards. (I think its finally time to let go of socket 478) 2. Set up the...

I for one will be stoked with photo-realistic graphics. That's all orbiter needs to be perfect. Though i know thats a long way off.

Its not that far out. As a rule of thumb for longwire/whip antennae. 72.85/frequency in MHZ will give you a 1/4 wavelength. The antenna can be any odd multiple of that number starting at 3 ( eg 3/4 wave lengths, 5/4(1&1/4) wavelengths etc. etc.) But generally speaking it is difficult to create...
