Thought I'd post a link to a video of the project I've been working on at
my local Air Cadet squadron.

The sim is based around a PA38 cockpit , gauges are sim kit, all work in
progress (as are most sims....)

Video was taken on a phone but I plan to produce a "decent" video soon......

Enjoy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdLRLVybHd8

Cool rig, you did it in such a short time, from the time we saw your PA38
bare cockpit.

What kind of computer set-up you end up with, you've got great frame rate,
all your monitors are perfectly in sync.

Waiting to see more videos.

The sim is running on one PC – Dell Studio Desktop 540MT: Intel Core 2 Duo
E8400 (3.00 GHz, 1333MHz, 6Mb) with a 512 MB nVidia GeForce 9800GT graphics
card, with the video output going to a Triplehead unit that splits the one
output to the three screens. The PC cost around £500.

We did lower some of the graphic settings within Flight Sim X to help
improve the frame rate but not low enough to lower the fun element ;-)

The reason we managed to move the project on at a good pace was because we
had a number of people working on it, each with a different set of skills
plus we spent a fair bit of time planning things out ….

might help further improve your performance.

Happy flying,

Delor
