tank you guys!

It's from scratch. I use the black Item-profils (i - profil). You can find it on the internet. It is the same profil type monstertech is using. I started with the monstertech mounts and upgraded them like you see in my post a few years ago (link in first post of this thread). But you also can use the B - Profile (Bosch Profil). Lots of additional stuff like hinges and certain screws are compatible with each other.

SO GLORIOUS. So damn clean too, for a desk build, not a cockpit. How does SC like the super ultra mega uber wide screen? like i need a little more than 21:9 but the 32:9 ones in flight sim and sim racing are just a little too big, triples is the sweet spot for me but there are so many downsize to triples these days.

This is an amazing build. I can't decide between desk or chair mounts myself. But nothing like this!

This is exactly the kind of set up I have been wanting to do. Fold/break away kits. I don't suppose we could get like, an in-depth part list? Maybe a DIY video? LOL
I'm also real curious as to the functions of each piece.

the ultra wide works very well with sc. now and then you will get problems with the ui when a new patch is in avocado or ptu but they will fix it and in live it works but this is a problem also with 21:9... i dont know why the ui problems are comming again and again when they make new patches... they should already know....
