navychief 1 Posted November 20, 2004 A few months ago, I know I saw a post about this. Probably even in reply to a post I had made. But you know how forgetful us CPOs can be; ESPECIALLY us retired types! Anyway, the plans I speak of, are of a homebuilt cockpit, constructed of plywood, and easy to put together. Am hoping someone out there has made one, or know what I am referring to. Thanks. NC P.S. I am in GREAT need of assistance with my game controllers too. I downloaded and installed the latest Control Manager program for CH Products. Now I am not able to get FS2004 to recognize the MAP files I was using for the sim! Pain in the..... Anyone out there having CH controllers, and know what I am complaining about....please contact me! retnavycpo@hotmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navychief 1 Posted November 21, 2004 Well, I found what I was searching for. It is a simple and transportable simpit. I plan to build it soon, and will post pictures of its completion. Wish me luck, as I am not good at woodworking, period! NC You can see the simpit and download the plans through a link from it at: http://www.62ndfightingfalcons.asn.au/62nd...pit/cockpit.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadJeff 3 Posted November 21, 2004 That looks like an interesting project. I've never really felt that I was "geeky" enough to build a pit specifically for sims, but after looking at that one I might have to rethink that a little bit. Looks like it would be easy enough to collapse and store when I got tired of tripping over it in my den. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navychief 1 Posted November 21, 2004 Yep, that's the way I see it too, MJ. I am not adept at all with woodworking; but I think I can build this without too much trouble. I emailed the creator of it, and asked if there are any mods to it, etc... I have not heard back from him yet. The other thing is a few days ago I decided to clean the inside of the casing for my CH Pedals. BAD IDEA! If anyone out there in Bio land also has CH pedals, do NOT open the case unless you know exactly what you are doing. When I opened it, the springs inside came loose, along with breaking one of the wires. Bottom line is, I am shipping the unit to CH, and they are charging me $48, plus $10 S/H to repair and reassemble the pedals. I learned a valueable lesson this time! Sorta like, "If you don't know what you are doing, don't F....K with it! NC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
