Very nice work with the TB's ruggbutt. Lots of nice jazz with that setup too (slurp!).

What kind of ViewSonic are you sporting?

The big one is an N2750W, and the one under the touchscreen is a VA721.

Wow! Looks exactly like my pit after a hard two hours of flight simming!

Picked it up at the local wreaking yard for $20 bucks welded up some brackets and mounted it to an old rowing machine I had, I can rock all day the seat is fully functional as it was in the car, I can reach down and pull the lever and slide it forward and back. I have a quick release bracket mounted to the front of the chair for the joystick, I work at a sign shop and designed and built the desk myself.

As usual, pit building is never done. I added another X-Keys and I retired my 8" touchscreen in favor of another 17" touchscreen. I also built the center panel to mount them on like I swore I was gonna do someday. Now I gotta figure if the base the main monitor sits on is big enough to hold a 42" monitor............



I've finished my F15 profile for TouchBuddy™, you can check it out here.

I've started on an A10 profile for TB™, here's a WIP shot:

Default for the Falcon guys

Hey Ruggbutt, fancy meeting you here!
As always your stuff sets the standard for TB profiles.
Here is something I put together for the Falcon crowd.
Most of the art is directley from DR.Stops block 52,
The Doc kindley gave me permission to use his work in this fashion.
As there seems to be some intrest here, thought I'd post ...If for no other reason, to show how versitile TB is. ( if I can do it...anybody can!)

nope, no live data from the sim(bummer)

If the game will export data via .lua it's possible to see that stuff in TouchBuddy. For instance, in my F-15 profile the TEWS, the MCP and a simple payload display are all active. They receive the data from LOMAC and are updated every second.

Does F4 glass get exported data? never used it, but I though it did. Which means the possibility is there to incorporate into TB.
