Some Pics: My Setup and Custom VG A-10C Skins

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

So.... I knew I was going off the deep end awhile ago when I mounted USB controllers that look like aircraft MFD's to an old VGA monitor..

Then I find this Helios software that takes gauges, switches, and panels, and lets you put them on different monitors, so I made a mouse-clickable UFC (Up Front Controller) to sit above my MFD's on the unused part of the old VGA Monitor, over the MFD's.

Then it got a little crazy...

Helios software works over LAN, so I set my laptop on it's side with another old VGA monitor attached to it, then built a fuel and engine gauges panel and a caution indicator lights panel in Helios, connected it to my PC and DCS via LAN, and:

(L: Airport Charts PDF & Indicator Lights, C: HUD/GUI, R: Fuel/Engine Gauges, Bottom: MFCD's, UFC, AAP Panel Switches; Keyboard is CDU Input)
*my 3 cheat sheets show controls functions and a joystick buttons key

So then I figured I might as well customize my A-10C exterior, too... I spent most of today working with that GIMP image editor painting decompressed images of A-10 skins from the game. I settled on a forest camo base with teeth, and added my pilot name to the skin, and a bunch of VG logos.

(CPTN A. SEMLER - oooooh sweet ego!)

It still could use some work, maybe tweak some positioning, and I'd like to have a forest camo, desert camo, night/black, and standard grey variant each with my logos...or maybe I should just go drop some more JDAM's.

Seriously heavy payload - just threw on some hell for a good pic, barely got off the runway.
DCS Warthog is way too much fun!
