And for any of it to look even remotely like the vid you need an i9 with sli 2080ti's... I hope the viper is even remotely as decently modled as the BMS ones. Im sure itl look prettier but....

Do you have first hand experience with the track clip vs the pro?

I know a lot of guys use the PS camera and one of the free solutions. They seem to work as well as TrackIR if a bit more work. Of course they are also massively cheaper.

It does seem to track a little better as it uses IR leds on it. |

Well damn. Having 2 issues.
1. Have not been able to successfully get into multiplayer mode. I can get to the SET ROLE screen, click on a plane, but it will not highlight it to show it as selected. I click on BRIEFING, but it puts me back in as a spectator. 2. Tried to setup to run all monitors and mfd displays... Here is my LUA file contents for the F/A-18C --Virtual cockpit server for DCS --\Config\MonitorSetup --Monitor setup file _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('FA18CScreen'); Description = 'Cockpit, left and right MPCDs' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0.0; y = 0.0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5.333333333333333; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 2885.0; y = 1105.0; width = 656; height = 656; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 4927.0; y = 1105.0; width = 660; height = 660; } CENTER_MFCD = { x = 3906.0; y = 1107.0; width = 660; height = 660; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center This is what I get though... Cant access any of the config screens to press OK to proceed on. I need to get the main gui onto the center, main display... UGH! Any ideas?

Well Ive got the screen issue fixed... Was jumping into instant action and was going to practice refueling in the F-18 over the persian gulf map.
Launch the mission, seems to be launching correctly, but then it displays the A-10 and loads up that plane instead of the F-18. Damn crazy configurations. |

NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
Updated the front MFD Mount arm to be stronger and offset to fit the base and the MFD better without them looking bent because, well, they were bent. I'll add a pic once I have them mounted.  Next PROJECT is to build a FUNCTIONAL Hornet APC module!!! I have a little cleanup on some of the parts, but nothing I didnt expect. I may print some parts at a little higher resolution, but still pondering that. I did not created the below parts. There is a thread over on ED forums that goes through the entire life of the APC build with details on switches, knows, led's, etc. The guy who did this really did a fantastic job on the parts and layout. Spectacular. I may look at putting in an LED touchscreen in the center instead of a touch pad, buttons and led's. Just a thought on a different version. 
The print actually looks a lot better than the pic shows. Lettering is there for the infill. Plan is to sand it down smooth to take out any of the imperfections, paint it matte black then infill the lettering with fluoro white paint.  This is printed in 4 different parts.

Another project I am working on is a small button box to use until I get ready to build an actual pit this spring...
First part: Landing Gear Lollipop Knob 
I created 3 different styles. All use a 4mmX8mm socket head screw to lock onto the shaft of a standard size toggle switch. Prototype shot. Not final. But you get the idea...
