Obsessively playing the original Elite pretty much defined a chunk of my childhood, and I heavily played all the sequels, and still play Oolite frequently.
For the last few years I haven't really played games much except minecraft, which I play probably too much, but I intend to become obsessed with immersion into E
.
Therefore, please forgive me but I wish to kiss the sky with a setup that I can't currently even afford to have, but would like to work towards, assuming the game even supports some of the things I'd like to do.
What I'd like, eventually and built up over time maybe, is to build myself a proper cockpit setup, with three large displays for an elongated forward view, with a bank of tablets under the screens all running as MFDs (multi-function displays) configurable to show rear, side, and top/bottom views, systems statuses, system map, comms, and maybe the radar (although that might be better served centre of the main front view). All these MFDs changeable on the fly through touchscreen controls as and when needed. A bank of something like four to six tablets, in a line under the three main displays would be best, and would allow a couple of obvious frequent use screens to be more or less permanent, like rear view and systems status, leaving a few other MFDs for situational use.
I'd like a comfy bucket seat, decent flight stick and throttle system, with precision flight controls, lateral thrusters, etc. and I'd like to sit in that setup, fully immersed in the Elite universe, flying around until I whither away and die.
