Plans For This Cockpit

Hello,

New to the forum.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of or has the plans for this cockpit? I'm mostly looking for the monitor sizes to create a life size flight deck but if anyone knows about the mounting structure that would be helpful too.  I'm currently using trackir in MSFS but I'm tired of the issues I have with it. The 747 is my favorite plane anyway and of course options in MSFS are very limited currently. Seriously considering making the switch to PSX and WidePSX. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hello Alex,

welcome to the forum.

The photo shows Stephen's setup. I don't know what monitors he uses, but when I recall the discussions on this forum, I think the most popular and budget-friendly touchscreens are those from Acer ...

But I'm not familiar with the current hardware market. Maybe someone has some other tips ...

Thanks for the response! It's a gorgeous setup. PSX is admittedly far beyond my current skill level but this image in particular was intriguing. If I could figure out the dimensions of this I could price it out. I was looking at touch screen trainers but none are available for private use. Then I found this. This is so much more affordable than building a physical cockpit but still achieves a very high level of immersion while also providing an extremely high level of fidelity.

I just noticed that iiyama is offering a wide range of touchscreen monitor sizes at very low prices:

From 10 inch to 98 inch, landscape and portrait modes ...

Thanks for sharing. It looks like EU only though. I'm in the US.
