Ahhhh OBS! Now I know I may be of some assistance, because that is the software I use to stream. Nico I still owe you a call!

Just an update on the streaming issue.

I purchase a magewell dusl hd i capture card and i have 2 go pro 6 connected to it at 1080p 60 fps. And for the motion platform ca era, i have 1 go pro 6 connected to magewell usb capture card same settings 10980/60.

You guys were spot on, it is much much better now. After freeing up the usb 3.0 and using the captire card in a pci slot.... stream is great.

Which brings me back to my other point, why have i not been streaming?  Well, my dual yokes arrived with a faulty aileron hall effect sensor which has been driving me absolutely bananas. The fact that i have my sim sitting idle because of a 2 usd part breaks my heart.

The issue is that i bought in amazon every type of hall sensir and half came today the other half comes tomorrow. All of today;s were the incorrect one.

You do owe me a call, and with lots of interests accrued. I have been sitting in the shower holding my phone asking my self "why doesnt he call". I even took a flower with petals and took them apart one by one.... calls me, calls me not

Whenever im not in the sim, i enjoy offroading in my weekend estate aka camp nico

Just finished my VR Cockpit Desk - now the 2-month wait for Xmas ...

Here's some pics of my simpit.  It started in 2009 as an Akers-Barnes pit.






Then in 2013 a friend from work, who is also into flight simming, brought in an Arduino board and an idea on building a com/nav radio. So I followed his lead and built one at the same time. 







That was the start of trying to remove the keyboard and mouse from the simpit...

[Gypsy31]

After finishing the radio setup I started thinking of other functions I could get the Arduino to do. The next project was building a landing gear and tail hook lever.

My pit sat that way for about 2 years until I finally decided to start building a Tomcat pit. 

I enlarged some images that I had of the F-14 cockpit layout and used them as plans.

[Gypsy31]

I use a 23" monitor to behind the panel to display the gauges using the Air Manager software by Sim Innovations.  I had to build all the gauges except the VDI and HSD.  The VDI and HSD are exported from the Aerosoft F-14X and displayed on two 7" Lilliput monitors.

Here's the front, right and left vertical panel assembled.

I've added a glare shield since then.  I need to finish labeling the vertical panels and then I plan to build the right and left side panels.

WOW!  Nice stuff,  you need to start your own thread in the general builders discussions that we can follow with your updates..  Awesome!  thanks for sharing.

Went and had a peek at this last night.. Nice stuff!!

Very nice Jack.

[Joe Lavery]

You still using a single projector Jack?

Your pit looks pristine, how do you keep it so clean?   

Joe.

[jackpilot]

Single projector 12 feet wide is good enough for immersion (ie: the airplane banks not the horizon)
180 is wonderful but not mandatory for my style of flying.

Sim is enclosed (limited dust)

Cheers

Looks amazing Jack, a real work of art.

[navymustang]

I hope others truly appreciate the level of effort that goes into such excellent craftsmanship.
