Rugg,
I was wondering about the manufacturer of the two keypads which you are using in your setup? And also what model they are?
It is a totally sweet cockpit by-the-by

John, the keypads are X-Keys. I've updated my list above to include the link for them. The X-Keys have a red and a green profile so you can switch between them. Basically each keypress can do two separate functions. They're not cheap though. I paid full price for the first one and half price for the second when someone replaced it with TouchBuddy and a touchscreen.
Tommyboy (good to cya again) I use CH controllers exclusively. Their software is insanely versatile and the hardware is top notch. I've had the Fighterstick, Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals for going on 4 years and they're as tight and accurate as the day I opened the boxes. I'm also using a CH Throttle Quadrant and DT225 trackball. The CH software allows you to combine all of these controllers into one virtual controller, so games that only support one controller can use all of them. I'm using touchscreen overlays on 17" LCD TFT's. The software was developed by a community member by the name of Zorlac, he calls it TouchBuddy. I and other community members have created profiles for it for many different games. I'm currently working on A-10 graphics for TB.
The HOTAS covers were something I bought on a whim, and they keep my controllers free of dust. I only wish they made them for the Throttle Quad. I hate when the ladies come over and call them Joystick "cozies". I also have a Buttkicker Gamer, which is an awesome piece of hardware. It plugs into your sound system and it vibrates the chair depending on the input it receives. It's sick when you fire the GAU8 (gatling gun) on the A-10, it vibrates the chair like crazy. I've been hit by SAMs in the game and jumped out of the chair cuz I got startled by the Buttkicker. It's a great piece of kit and it's relatively inexpensive.
For sound I'm using Logitech's z5500 speakers. They're 5.1 (even tho LOMAC doesn't use 5.1) but they rawk! I love how the 10" sub reproduces all the low end noises you hear and feel in the pit. _________________

The X45 is a great stick, it served me well for a couple of years. _________________
