It probably doesn't meet the conditions of participation, but still feels like home!

This definitely goes under the "creative" catagory as it's on a budget. I don't really have a propper desk space hence why my keyboard and mouse is in a home made drawer without a front and back wall. As a result of that I can't clamp down my yoke, however my monitor has to go ontop of the yoke either way to fit, so essencially my monitor is a pretty big and pretty expensive paper Wright / yoke clamp. It actually does a pretty decent Job of camping it down.

 

My throttle quadrant is just fastened with the clamps that came with it as it doesn't need to be directly above my desk expansion/drawer thing... 

 

Adotionally (not pictured) I have my Thrustmaster T flight rudder pedals. I decided against gluing the velcro to my floor (as this is a temporary setup) so my pedals are just leaned against the walk which is adecuate for normal operations but not sudden large yaw inputs. 

 

(Sorry for the glare in the picture, there's a better on in my actual subission but I didn't bother turning my monitor of in this one.)

Well, you're lucky to have a Bravo and the Airbus set, they're hard to get your hands on these days.

A cockpit I built centuries ago with idea of renting hours.... Never occured.
Still in my cellar.
Completely self made.
Three short trow beamers and Fresnel Lenses on the three windows. FOV 180°
Wooden shell.
One computer only - Runs on FSX due to low budget PC. 
Incredible depth perception but image a bit blurry due to the low res beamers and terrible computer.

All dual controls, throttle vernier and mixture lever are mechanically home made.
Elevator trim (between the seats) is mechanical and physically move the stick for a zero-force feel.
The controls potentiometers and instruments panel switches are connected to a Leobodnar BU0836 X board. 
Second hand VRinsight Instrument Radiostack
Instrument panel is made of a display on wich the simulator instrument panel is undocked and dragged.
In front of it, a metal plate with opening and encoders connected to the LeoBodnar board to set the corresponding instruments.
Second hand car seats.

Distortion is only apparent due to the Fresnel lesnses.
When seated, the image appears perfectly continuous.
Only drowback, pilot and copilot don't have exacly the same view.

Not gonna enter the contest but I had an MD80 project a few years back. But it's pretty much dead now. With the rest parts laying in a storage box. I had several original instruments (unmodified) running with P3D.

In combination with Aviaworx and Airmanager my pit can switch really easy between different setups: Because of all the touchscreens! Overhead Ipad etc. (MIP annuciator) lights are working for PMDG 737) Landing gear lever works with everything

 

All FMC and overhead work via touchscreen on PMDG 737 / 747 FsLabs / Aerosoft CRJ etc.

 

MCP Combo for MCP EFIS RADIOS

 

Navigraph Charts as EFB on second IPAD

Bin gespannt, wer gewonnen hat.

I was stunned at what the winner in the Realistic category accomplished. As impressive as it is, what really hooked me was his re-creation of an airline lav, seen by clicking 4 times on the right scroll arrow. That's what I'm talking about for attention to detail!
