My INSANE Star Citizen Setup (2024 version)

[@UndeadParrot]

Again, there are quite a few questions about why I don't user VR, as usually. In case you're interested, here's the answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIfGhYSJZ7d6qLc

[@stat8715]

more gameplay with it please !

[@MichelangeloDraconis]

Well .. Star Citizen doesn´t even support VR at all.

[@SimPitTech]

you might friend have been scammed. The original screen (from warthog project) was the SimPit Avenger PRO with the real ambient light rejection surface made here in NZ. That's why your image looks so washed out and why you have the band in the middle (the paints are scam). If you have bought the original product you would have had better product for far less ;-). Nice cockpit!

Amazing overview of what you’ve created! I plan on officially building my cockpit this summer and using yours and Warthog Project ideas as good guides. Have you finished making panels for SC and have you made any specific for DCS? My cockpit will be a multi-ship/multi-game combining various aspects of the F-16, A-10, F/A-18, and Eclipse. The goal isn’t to make a final cockpit, but evolve aspects as my interests develop and SC incorporates more inputs into their game.

[@UndeadParrot]

Sounds like an interesting project! I'm actually not going forward with this cockpit, but start building OpenHornet cockpit next. At least the frame, and then modify it into modular setup. This way I could continue building nearly 1:1 Hornet cockpit but still make it modular.
