My new project - 'Transformer' Standup/Sit down driver cab
Cretster:
Thanks mate - yeah that's right. I'm a bit sort of 'obsessed' with that film as the best (but one of the cheesiest) action movies ever so the original cab was themed on it.
I had a second smaller monitor that would play it automatically on start up.
Will do some searching for that software - it'd be easier to have a holder/ dock thing for the ipad to use it as a keyboard and second independent screen than to fit in a normal keyboard now.
Don't get excited about this thing looking pretty any time soon though guys as that's always last on the list for me (I suck at that), but I want to get it just right first and use it a while before I consider aesthetics.
Am wondering what alternatives I can use as lockable/multi position arms for the Warthog like maybe something using tripod ball heads, or an arm that's a bit like an ATAT's leg, but lockable at different angles. Hard to know what to search for so I'm just typing in variations of phrases on google for likely looking sturdy kit. I haven't searched for ATAT's leg though - it could be a euphemism for all I know!
Generic Eric:
Roccat can simulate a touchpad for your game. I don't know about the keyboard though.
as for the Warthog, some elite players are using heavy duty velcro. YMMV.
Typefighter01:
I like you Cretster...and I like what you are doing here :D
Cretster:
Thanks mate - that's very kind of you. I'm afraid my builds will never come close to the prettiness & professionalism of many others, but I like to think that they sort of make up a little bit by way of being 'different'. :D

Cool - thanks for that. Found an app that lets me use it as an RDP type mouse & keyboard too, so that might be handy.
New (replacement for smashed one) cronusmax arrived today, so I foresee some Forza testing happening this evening!
Will be interesting to see if the warthog controls get in the way at all when playing a driver. I don't like the fact the wheel has to be out while doing flight games but when the monitor is dropped there's not sufficient room in the cab for the wheel to go inside it, alas. Can't have everything though I suppose! (Mental note made for future build....)
Fursphere:
I see I'm not the only crazy person trying to driving cabinet into a flight sim cabinet. :cheers:
