+Fates Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 Found this little tidbit while surfing for a new computer parts. Going to be building a new gamer machine since this one has seen its day. Anywho, I stumbled across this little fancy machine and I thought I'd share it with everyone. Project NightHawk Project Nighthawk will be a custom computer designed as a flight simulator and gaming console. The inspiration for the design was taken from the exotic looks of the Lockheed F-117A Stealth Fighter, one of my personal favorites among millitary aircraft. The shell of the PC will have lots of angles and sleek sharp edges reminding one of the radar deflecting shapes found on the F-117A. Quote
+ST0RM Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Neat idea. I like the duel monitors, but that flight yoke has to go. Storm Quote
TROOPER117 Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Looks awesome, but forgive my lack of knowledge here; If you are in a single seat fighter, where are you likely to see your revi sight? Left or right monitor, or split between both?? Regards.... Dave S. Quote
PG_Raptor Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 Been watching this build. Although I havn't really been able to understand how it's all to look in the end. Worklog: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=862177 Quote
+Fates Posted May 17, 2005 Author Posted May 17, 2005 Looks awesome, but forgive my lack of knowledge here; If you are in a single seat fighter, where are you likely to see your revi sight? Left or right monitor, or split between both?? Regards.... Dave S. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would definately be better to either goto a 3 monitor setup, or simply go for 1 monitor. I'll also agree that the Cessna style yoke has to go. This is an F-117 Fighter based design and as such he should stick with convential HOTAS setups. Fates Quote
PG_Raptor Posted May 17, 2005 Posted May 17, 2005 just so you know, he's gonna be using a Thrustmaster Couger for the joystick. Quote
PG_Raptor Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) It's finished. The three panel design looks kind weird, but hey, his choice, not mine :) Personally, I like this one: Get more pics of the Nighthawk mod here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=...7&page=11&pp=20 Edited June 7, 2005 by PG_Raptor Quote
