Real nerds on the flight sim scene will use upwards of half a dozen monitors for their 737 mock-ups. However, if you're "flying" a fighter, you need all-round vision. Currently that is done by flicking a button on the joystick to index your view around on your monitor. Imagine each of the panels in the drawing is a monitor that shows views from the relevant angles in an aircraft cockpit. The same could apply to any simulator. In all probability, it's nothing of the sort! But I'd really like to see such a device. Hmmm…this looks like a design I’ve had in my head for some time, for a flight sim monitor.

part 22 is disjointed for some reaon..and owing that they’re not congruent shapes might make it a little harder to ‘fold’..maybe^^
