sim cockpit finished

[SLIP STREAM]

the thread this was started on is gone.so recaping.building a cockpit on pennies.scavenging parts and peices and only buying what couldn't be dug up.the whole unit cost less than 150.00$,not includeing the saitek controls,peddals and trackir.it has a primary flight station with saitek x52 controller.a secondary gunners station,with a wingman force feed back stick,with a hand made 50 cal model machinegun houseing. it is 12v. operated with a car solonoid and temp contact switch to operate the trigger.the secondary station swings up and locks in the vertical position.it has 4 way speaker system that is seperatly,sound level adjustible.the mirror is for head alingement when useing the trackir.looking directly at the screen i can see my right ear in the upper corner.i can bring my head back to almost zero.the 2 nav lites are power indicators that the power strip is on.so guys when your thinking of buying just a stick think bigger ! those of you that have the ability to scavenge and build,150.00$ is not a large amount of cash for what can be created.

Hi SlipStream

You are a genius, very good work indeed, I was tempted to do something similar but I should not have the room to put it in.
My best compliments.:applause:
