wow must have alot of time on your hands


lol!! 68DevilM,not a whole lot! i made it a point to accomplish something everyday,even if it meant i had to work out the problem on paper first.Biggest time consumed was actually on the instrument panel,6 days,2 hours per day,just to draw a grid on the back side and finalize where each gauge would go.
cutting the holes out took another 4 hours,one shot,no mistakes.

Mugz! Thank you sir,it's an honor to fly with the 444th more so under you. You lead against impossible odds and still you get us through to target,even if we end up doing it 3 times :)
but the best part yet of the simpit that i'm truly looking forward to is when i can "skin it" and paint  the mafia logo.

As far as instrument data goes, you could find someone good at programming to make some sort of packet sniffer that analyzes the data going to the server, since all that information has to go there in the first place. If you are able to figure out what is what, you could make a program that then sends a signal out to your gauges based on what is being sent to the servers.  With this information, you not only could supply data to instrument clusters, but also make an analog ammo counter, some sort of damage display, separate Radar screen. All sorts of cool stuff. Only problem I see is finding out what all the packet data means. If the data is encrypted, then you're SOL. Then again, I don’t know much about how you would go about doing this in the first place, but Its been done in other server based mmo's.

Awesome. I was wondering how it was coming along after the last post.
