Afterburner


OK folks.. First part of my review and pics are up!!!

I like the review so far, just for FYI, use the frame to hide the cables for the monitors, keyboard and mouse. Use double side velcro tape, to tight them up nice and neat to the frame.

In the assembly videos he talks about the wheel mount being used to mount another display. Can you demonstrate how much tilt is actually available, because it doesn't look like there's a very big range of motion at all, especially if you want the screen perpindicular to the floor.

Thanks!

I will look into that. I am pretty darn certain though... That perpendicular is not possible if you mean in the vertical sense. Horizontal is definitely possible. I tried that. There is only about 1" of adjust-ability on the far back of the mount and that is amplified the farther you get from it of course. The other concern is the size of the screen you would use. For most it would have to be pretty darn small, like a Tablet small, in order to not get in the way of things.
 
That said, I see no reason to not get the table kit and utilize one of the arms to add the fourth (Or what have you) monitor to the mix...

Yes I meant vertical, although I used perpindicular so not to confuse portrait orientation with tilt... Basically I want to see if I can mount a touchscreen monitor to use as a forward instrument panel in flight sims, something that can be done with the newer sims that can export cockpit displays to other monitors.

Using a 3rd-party program called Helios you can use the touchscreen as a keyboard emulator and press cockpit buttons on the screen rather than using key commands.

Here's a good video of somone else's set up:

The question really remains can I mount a panel here that won't interfere with a center stick mount.

The R3vo looks really nice but I think as designed it's still more of a racing cockpit that can be used for flight sims, not a dedicated flight cockpit.

Some of my other questions have been answered by watching Chris's assembly videos.

Gotcha... Yes you can. However! It all depends on the size, your comfort (Seat position), and that it will not go totally flat. Although I would find it really hard to use the touchpad if it was at the same angle as the monitor(s) are. It sits a what I would call a the preferred angle, while allowing foot pedal usage and dual sticks.
 
I do know this... The Table kit they have will do this no problem. Almost endless options... I tested today with my ASUS Transformer Prime, tried my computer Keyboard most of the day as I installed my Surround Sound... Worked great.  
 
 

OK... More of the initial review is up 

OK folks... Many of your questions now have answers...
