Hey fellas, and ladies,
Sorry for being MIA for so long on the forums but I've been crazy busy. First off, thanks to Panther for such an in depth review, really thanks man
Of course I'm especially happy she digged her r3v so much! I'm also glad to see so many of rest of ya diggin the r3v goodness.
While it took a couple of months for peeps to get a grasp of the r3v, our customers are thrilled about their new cockpits and I thank all of you for putting your experiences online here at SimHQ, and elsewhere. Really a big thanks to each of you
Re the monitor stand issues you are experiencing pepper, I trust you have it worked out now per our emails, but if mistaken please contact me again. I've yet to not be able to get monitors lined up properly on any of the units I've tested personally. It can be a bit tedious but I'll just say one can get well acquainted with their kit in doing so heheh. No seriously, it was hard to cater to all the different setups peeps like to run with their monitors, and there were not any current mounts that we could use as examples, so we approached it from scratch. The key was to allow full rotation, tilt, angle of the monitors, while keeping overall weight (for shipping) in mind. The simracing crowd can be pretty picky on monitor angles
which is cool so we try to accommodate. As you can imagine with anything in a business we have to weigh the cost with the intended sales price, and in my opinion this stuff shouldn't cost a bomb like other desk triple mount solutions.
While I'm sitting here in my old oZone typing this, after a night of BF3, answering emails, browsing the web, and more than a few drinks, it's super cool to catch up with you guys and read through all the posts, especially seeing all the cool setups each of you are running. As I've always said before, the oZone & even the r3v are just the basics and each design allows for personal mods to make them "just right" for their owners needs. No better place to see mods to their OBUTTO's than on SimHQ!~
Just as a heads up, yes we are working on speaker mounts even though I loathe speakers lol! So far I haven't been able to come up with a nice enough looking rear speaker mount so we appreciate your patience, uhhh with me. Also, for all you flight sim'ers we are coming out with an A-10 Warthog (thrustmaster) specific mount, for hard mounting, and it is pretty much based off mhe_at's customized setup, so it saves those without power tools to obtaining a better solution. Mhe_at, huge props for shaving down your mount and as soon as we come up with a good looking solution for rear speaker mounts they are on the house, or something else if ya desire
cheers man!
Also, and in closing, our r3v keyboard tray, free standing monitor stand, and cupholder are now available for all the oZone owners. Sorry but these are the only r3v bits that will fit the oZone. I will say though, I've been back at my US home for 2mths now in my 4yr old oZone everyday for HOURS & HOURS and am still very happy, and I still have the original oZone keyboard tray, although I am using the prototype r3v monitor stand. No cupholder here as I have a great wood rifle crate next to my cockpit for holding my beverages. Of course I've done all my computer use in an oZone since late '05 to early '06 soooooo.....
Anyhow, enjoy all of ya, and I'll try my best to keep an eye on the forums in a more timely manner
Best wishes to all you for 2013!!!
