    I use Velcro to marry the monitors to the Cougars. But be sure to let the two sets " mature" for 12 hours or so to achieve maximum hold. I've found there's some tension between my Mimos and the MFCDs and that is enough to pull the sticky side of the Velcro off of the frame of either piece if I don't let them setup for a while.

    As ugly as it is, here is my pit so far.

    It's been a long road to get this far. A monitor here, MFCDs there. Each an exercise in patience until I found the best value. The prize of my collection is a WH throttle, in need of a mainboard, for $100. The last piece was the F-22 Pro stick which I mated with a MS Sidewinder FFB2.

    The whole thing is self contained and only requires a USB port, video connection and power outlet. The pedals are hinged and store vertically beneath the monitor and the joystick pedestal is removable. Setup and tear down only takes a few minutes. I'm already working on the L & R consoles.

    Looking good! Is that an iPad with the CDU app?
    And remember, ugly is a compliment in these forums!

    Oh, in that case it's a very pretty pit, with severe wire management issues.

    The CDU is a free app for Android and iOS cleverly called 'DCS A-10C CDU'. It worked fine on the iPad, but I had issues with my Galaxy Tab 3

    Sorry, I did look for a proper thread, but not hard enough I guess. Some nice setups in there, including yours. Ingenious desk design.

    No worries bro I just wanted to show you some of our pits too. I just figured you would like to see them. I like seeing everyone's own personal invention of the pit.
