Guest 531_Ghost Posted June 12, 2007 for now I've had this same basic design of a "cockpit" for a few years now and I've been tinkerin' with it all along. I wanted something ergonomic, functional, simple, doesn't take a lot of real estate, and most of all fun. Well I've crammed all I can into/onto this 2'X4' plywood base and here's the end result... My keyboard: My MFP and XKeys: My DT225 Trackball and some switches: My FighterStick, Rudder Pedals and woofer placement: My ProThrottle and Throttle Quadrant Retracted: My ProThrottle and Throttle Quadrant Extended: The whole kit 'n' cabootle: Hope you've enjoyed and maybe got some ideas on doing one of your own. This has been and continues to be a fun project! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUFF 8 Posted June 12, 2007 I don't believe it - I'm sure that you'll find something that needs tinkering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Jarhead1 27 Posted June 12, 2007 I wish i could afford a setup like that, that is sweet that makes it definitely more fun and more realistic, i just wish i could buy a real jet pit and install all that stuff, that would rock, what do yall think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtoolooze 2 Posted June 12, 2007 Looks great! Nice job. I need to get me a pit like that. Would make the immersion factor go up for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruggbutt 45 Posted June 14, 2007 I put a small fridge in my office so I didn't have to go the extra 30 feet to the kitchen to get something to drink. Something is seriously wrong with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
