Final Cockpit setup for Elite Dangerous

 



I've been working for years trying to figure out the best set up for my Elite Dangerous Cockpit.  The setup for my Elite Dangerous is the right combination of apps, software and hardware.  I think I can finally do ED right!

Since it was asked on reddit here is the setup I'm using 

The smallest screen is a cheap touchscreen monitor off of amazon and it has ED CoPilot running on it. This monitor is plugged into the computer and you just set it up as a 4th monitor (think I had to google how to make it touch too) in windows, then drag the app/window you want onto it like any other monitor.

The larger of the 2 bottom right monitors is my wife's old Microsoft Surface and it's running an ED CoPilot screen using EDCoPTER to run the window in a browser making the touchscreen more responsive. This one I just run the ED CoPilot and EDCopTER on main computer. Then open a browser on laptop and type in the IP address that EDCoPTER gives you (usually 192.xxx.x.xx:yyyy)

Left main monitor is Inara and EDMC.

Middle is the game with EDMC ModernOverlay running on it.

Right monitor is two instances of Icarus Terminal.

HoTaS are X-56, which I've had for years and love, so many hats, buttons and switches I rarely touch the keyboard. 

Keyboard is a Razer BlackWidow Chroma, which allows me to use the M1-M5 keys for macros.  Use these for one button docking request and takeoff.

Mouse is a Logitech G600 with 12 side buttons.

Mic is a Logitech Yeti Blue for using voice commands with COVAS:NEXT


And I used these mounts for the HoTaS, which work great.
