WOW! OK Why did I not know about this?

Well Nifty; I wonder how he got the various camera views into the MFD's.
I'd love to be able to set up my monitors to show the side-panels instead of just stretching the front view.

Well, you can customise any -input- controls as long as it can emulate joystick/mouse/keyboard. What's interesting is that he's got the MFD's showing cropped camera views of his cockpit, and AFAIK the game can't do that.

VGA or HDMI splitter.
Maybe old news to you, not for everyone.
Impressive!
Looks like they're static images. They don't change or even match what's on the monitor.
It's not static, the inputs he made caused the throttle to move. it's basically just HDMI splitters to output duplicate screens. Splitters have been used in basic home cockpits for decades, as Ganos mentioned, nothing new.
You can buy this stuff cheap in toy stores in the UK, out here in the Middle East I see saitek stuff selling in shopping malls .

Check the movement of the throttle in the bottom left screen of the 3*2 screen array: it goes up and down, so not static.
Nope, not in the slightest. I have a pile of gear from home cockpits I used to build for people.
edit - I do still use a Saitek control panel for some functions in ED, 99% of time voice attack or the HOTAS does the work. That video can't be compared to virtual reality, it's like comparing a fixed based sim with a CAE simulator

Very nice!
Now try buy a beer *chuckles*
Hehe, believe it or not, out here in Bahrain we have alcohol megastores, nothing but booze, they even deliver it to your house
That's why I call this place the Amsterdam of the Gulf! 25 years here and no plans on leaving!

Hmm, ok, so first of all he must have set FoV to 100% (or whatever) to get the game to render the whole cockpit all the time (or at least enough of it to include the pilot's hands), and then have a way to crop the various duplicated video streams to the various displays. Not quite as straightforward as just using splitters..
Also can't imagine it working very well in flight due to the constant movement of the cockpit/virtual pilots head.
