Thanks for the kind words, mates!

Well, that is tempting. The whole reason I went "glass pit" as opposed to Viperpits-style physical pit was so that when the Next Big Thing came out (be it an F-18 sim or a Hog sim or "whatever") I could make a new 'pit for it and not have an F-16 pit in my basement that nobody else was flying
.
But I think I'm going to just "fly for awhile" before tackling anything new.

That's a real 50/50. There are guys over on Viperpits who've had good experiences with them.
I myself, at this very moment, am doing a very careful, painstaking, "roll back to an old system restore point" and step-by-step install/reboot/install/reboot/calibrate each Mimo monitor on my WinXP Falcon system because they were losing calibration yesterday. (I'm waiting for the rig to reboot right now
).
They work well for me as video monitors. They work well for me now on 2 out of the 3 systems as touchscreens (I had a breakthru in the calibration on the Win7 machine, and now it's running like a top). Apparently there are new models out (but they use the same drivers). Still bug hunting on the XP system.
They were cheap as compared to 8 VGA touchscreens plus video card expansions. But I bet I'da been up and running 4 weeks ago. Well see after this re-install

That's been a gem. It was three-hundred-and-$omething, and it handles (counting its own main monitor) 4 touchscreens with lots of animations, and it's never hiccuped (Waxer crosses his fingers and touches his wooden head). Big thumbs up on this one.
