Show me your rig...please!

A few years ago in America, a few hundred chain store Radio Shack's all went out of business. I went down and bought none of their discounted electronics, just a large display desk which they used in the store for displaying things they sold. Made of heavy steel and built like a tank. $40.

Steel does not lose its finish if you remove old velcro or slide heavy metal on it. Where with wood desks, it would ruin the finish. Just wipe with alcohol rag.

I'd add a pic of my messy table but have no idea how to upload it here.

Yupp, since you can't upload a picture *with the posting* it is a bit cumbersome when you don't have a picture-hosting solution any more.

There's no need for a hosting service. Just go to postimages.org and either browse to or drag from the folder on your PC that the image is saved in. A list of links will be generated, choose the "Direct Link" option (click the copy icon at the right of the link) and paste it in your post. et voila! Much quicker and simpler than the explanation sounds.😉 (You can also choose smaller size images if you don't need it full resolution/size).

In fact, here's an image of such a page I just snipped from the site:

You don't need an account to do this.

I'm sure it's great, but I just don't understand it -- the use of streamdeck with these setups.   Isn't that what these little button pads are?  Is the use to set up view-switching or something like that?

I have meanwhile 3 of them (2 XL and one PLUS)

I have had formerly (partly self built) switchpanels with countless switches. I got crazy to remember all these switches for different aircraft.
Or have labled them twice or third (simply think about EFIS buttons difference 737 and Airbus) and then take some multiengine oldtimer into account, e.g. DC-6

 

StreamDeck is the holy grail for me (until there's something better 😉 ) as I can't control my different aircrafts now nearly without mouse.
Plus having some little gauges also (to control temps e.g) to have everything at one glance without switching views.

Thats my pilot workplace: Maximum flexibility for military and civil flight simulation. With the 42 inch screen the cockpits come close to their real life counterparts.

Heh, very barebone compared to many of the awesome flight sim setups in here

My setup is a bit messy but it works for me. Streamdeck holds a lot of the aircraft-specific controls. Since then I've added an Octavi multi-control that is very cool (not pictured).

I'm more a casual simmer... I've been blessed with the best job in the world for a flightsim enthusiast so I don't have lots of time to make a 7hrs flight... That's why I feel I don't need a full cockpit rig... 😁
