June 5th to the 8th

We are 8 days away from Comic Con 2014 where I will be running a 3 Bridge setup. I have a lot still to do but getting close, and dealing with the logistics of taking 3 bridges to the convention.



Just had the crew over this weekend training them up, 25 people will be helping bring this to life running 132 six man crews through hour long simulations.



I hope to see you all there and I will try to post some updates to the build and packing process as I get them.



Here is half the PCs getting ready to pack them up now. Just finished packing up 20+ monitors.

Here is a link to the New DMX lights, still need to program them for the game, but have 78 individually controllable lights in this rig.



Left and Right Sides will be the Shield Indicator, top light is front Shields, bottom lights are rear shields. Running Lights and Jump Indicators on the bottom. Upper left is for power, and upper right is for docking, tractor indicator. Center top is the new faux rotating red alert light.



I was reading on the forum that 2.1 has even more DMX triggers, I will need to add more lights before I even got this rig into orbit the first time....

(those look like my Dells - not as portable as tablets, but good value for the task and better than full size cases) Damn! You are a dedicated individual. That's a lot of stuff and effort. I wish I could be there to see it in action.(those look like my Dells - not as portable as tablets, but good value for the task and better than full size cases)

Most even run on VIS mode. some have a few issues...





The crew all dresses as a unit and one goes into every ship as the first officer, and helps with any questions during the event. Heading off frustration to insure everyone has a great time.

Posts: 154 Reply with quote #10 I do have Dell Optiplex machines. All running Core 2 Duo processors with 2 gig ram.



The 745 have 1.86ghz and 2.13 ghz which can run the VIS screen, or main screens.



I also have some 755s which can not run the VIS screen with the onboard card.



And I just picked up a 780 3.00 ghz that I have not tested yet for view screen use.



I also picked up some ATI Radeon dual screen cards to see if I could get the 755's to be able to handle the view screen, but have also not put them into the boxes yet.
