![]() Notice that I clamped the bracket in place. Next, use a ¼” drill bit to make the holes larger. Use cutting fluid if you have it, or a lubricant like WD-40. I drilled pilot holes first with a 1/8” drill bit. Next I tap the center points with a punch and hammer. First, I measure where the new holes will be: three quarters of an inch on center, below the existing holes. We will simply drill new holes into the steel bracket! Unfortunately, that puts the top attachment holes on the bracket too close to the top edge of the board, so we can’t use those holes. This is how the bracket will fit on the monitor….īut look here: the bottom edge of the monitor can not hang below the bottom edge of the board….īecause, I have to allow room for the Saitek yoke below it. This is the Dell 19 inch monitor that I’m using for this project. One half of the bracket attaches to the monitor, the other half will attach to the board. This small bracket is appropriate for this size monitor. Now lets look at the monitor mounting bracket. Many home improvement stores will cut lumber for you. If you don’t have a miter saw that can cut a 1×8 board you can usually get that done at the store. I needed this taller board to mount these two Saitek switch panels vertically. To start off, I removed the 1×6 board from the flight simulator and used a 1×8 board instead. Part 2 of this video will show you what to expect when you run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on two monitors. I’ll literally show you the nuts and bolts of this process. People have been running flight simulator on multiple monitors for years, but I wanted to show you some specific issues for mounting a second monitor. This increases your outside visibility and makes it easier to read the instruments. You can display your flight instruments on an auxiliary monitor and use your main monitor for the outside view. Most noteworthy: quality flat panel monitors are wonderfully inexpensive now! Video Transcript Dual monitors allow you to display the flight instruments on a smaller screen and show the outside view on a large monitor, or even an HDTV as shown here. ![]() This was a great project and really enhanced the Flight Sim Pod.
