Damn that's sweet! ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jul 12, 2003 12:15 pm ----------------------------------- thats MS flight sim 2002 i got that game, its okay BTW you need to do that to learn how to fly lol, yeah, especially that top monitor. very important ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jul 12, 2003 12:31 pm ----------------------------------- well really...you do :0 cuz lol there are..i think 3 piolets in 1 plane (THAT FLIGHT SIM CHAT SUCKS) ----------------------------------- Mephi Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:00 pm ----------------------------------- rofl...yea...msn is essential to flying ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sat Jul 12, 2003 2:01 pm ----------------------------------- that is madness... now what do you suppose is contained in that yellow container to the right? also, I think this guy could use a kvm switch... even if he just used it for the keyboard and mouse... ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Jul 12, 2003 3:17 pm ----------------------------------- Apparently that yellow container contains Vitamin-C, Here's a zoomed in picture of it: http://www.compsci.ca/bbs/files/yellowcontainer.jpg ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jul 12, 2003 6:25 pm ----------------------------------- how does that matter....its his house...anyways. Check the Pedles or what ever you wanan call it below the Joystick, ITS SO HIGH ABOVE THE GOUND (right?) Think that kid is short...never will get into flying :0 ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Jul 12, 2003 8:58 pm ----------------------------------- those aren't pedals... those are speakers :? ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Sat Jul 12, 2003 9:10 pm ----------------------------------- damn............. I've seen a game like this at Game Works, but to have it at home.... with all those monitors.... that's one crazy bastard right there....he isnt crazy! hes my idol:D lmao ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Jul 12, 2003 9:15 pm ----------------------------------- Are they now....well...anyways...-.-! ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sun Jul 13, 2003 12:38 am ----------------------------------- I thought they were pedals too :/ o well... it's too bad this kind of thing isn't supported in all games ... it'd be sweet to have like 8 monitors for an fps or something ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Jul 13, 2003 1:06 am ----------------------------------- actually I think this can be set up in some FPSs... I remember unreal turnament having an option to set up the view angle... you can set it to 360 and see EVERYTHING around you but it would be impossible to play on a single monitor... Though it would be afuly nice to be able to see whats going on around you in a FPS game :lol: ----------------------------------- krishon Sun Jul 13, 2003 12:57 pm ----------------------------------- wow that's nuts.....but if u have so many screens, u look at one and then u dun't know wuts goin on in the other ones...cuz gotta spin around a lot. ----------------------------------- SilverSprite Sun Jul 13, 2003 1:14 pm ----------------------------------- nah i think it would be better.. at least now you can quickly spin naround to see enemies behind you.. man i want one of those soo badly.. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Jul 13, 2003 2:34 pm ----------------------------------- well otherwise you wouldnt be able to spin around at all... this way you can keep an eye out on your sides and could even have a back mirror :wink: that would take FPS pwning to a whole new level :lol: ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jul 13, 2003 7:40 pm ----------------------------------- In the plane...is not how you see the whole area? So...anything wrong you can check 1 side....Mostly youd don't need to look left and right, but just in the middle 3 screens would do... ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jul 14, 2003 4:54 pm ----------------------------------- it would be cool to have all those monitors... but not just for flight sim stuff. i mean, geez what a waste. that's thousands of dollars sitting there. if you want to be able to see around the cockpit better there's some infrared detector thing you can get. you mount the detector on top of your single (and inexpensive) monitor and then you have some red dot taht you put on your forehead. then say you want to see out to the left, you just turn your head slightly to the left and the view moves along with you. ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jul 14, 2003 5:59 pm ----------------------------------- oo that thing sounds bitching Mazer. know anywhere you can find out more about them? ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jul 14, 2003 7:24 pm ----------------------------------- i'll see if i can find out later... i remember reading about it in the july issue of pc gamer. ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jul 14, 2003 10:54 pm ----------------------------------- i donno if that would actually be practical... to have a 180 view the "dot" gotta be preaty damn sensetive and you will probly often move a screen cuz you cant sit perfectly still while playing that CS game... and that would end up screwing you up more then it is good. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 15, 2003 5:30 pm ----------------------------------- who said anything about using that for cs? for an FPS obviously you're only looking around by using the mouse. but for a flight sim it'd probably be much more useful to use this device as opposed to ~15 monitors (that's for those who don't want to memorize a bunch of hotkeys). besides, there's probably some way to adjust the sensitivity. ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jul 15, 2003 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- yeah, I know you can adjust the sensitivity... but if you still want to be able to view the monitor while image is rotated 90 degree... it gets kind of sensitive.. doesn't matter though... 3 monitors should be more then enough... Just configure other two to display the sides... and if you really want to pwn, one for back view as well ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Jul 15, 2003 8:22 pm ----------------------------------- i'm not sure i understand... you don't use multiple monitors for cs... do you, tony? ----------------------------------- Tony Tue Jul 15, 2003 11:20 pm ----------------------------------- well I do have 2... the big one for play and a smaller one next to it for back view (so noone sneaks up on me with a knife) :lol: though no... I dont even have CS, I tried installing CS, but there was some problem with running it :? it would freeze the machine or something ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Jul 15, 2003 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- AH HA...SO ITS NOT ONLY HIM. I know another guy whos CS keeped crashign/freezing when installing. CS ..is bad :) ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Wed Jul 16, 2003 12:12 pm ----------------------------------- yes, instead those cs players should play a game that isn't five years old ;) ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jul 16, 2003 6:18 pm ----------------------------------- a game that isn't 5 years old? :? ah, you must be talking about the wc3 mod for cs! :P :P just kidding, i don't play that it's so dumb. but i do play cs. it's so much fun. in fact, besides nwn that's all i play right now. ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Jul 16, 2003 7:03 pm ----------------------------------- CS is BS :) and WAR3 has nothing to do with CS.... BF 1942 (DC MOD) ROCKS :) ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Jul 16, 2003 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- CS is BS :) :roll: and WAR3 has nothing to do with CS.... of course it does. did you not read my post? you know, the part about the wc3 mod? though i do find it odd that someone would choose to take a action/strategy game and make a mod for it based on another strategy game... yet only use the stupid rpg elements of said game. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jul 16, 2003 10:11 pm ----------------------------------- yeah, lol... wc3 mod sucks ass... its soo stupid too. ----------------------------------- krishon Thu Jul 17, 2003 8:41 pm ----------------------------------- lol, but the game w3 is good.....they've added some nice stuff to the expansion too....the only problem is that i'm not allowed to have it :cry: ...it looks so good ----------------------------------- JayLo Thu Jan 22, 2004 1:55 am ----------------------------------- mer... not allowed to have it....
