EVERYTHING SIM PIT

[sheperd]

After I posted my pit alot of pit builders started to post their pits in the thread, so this is the place to show your stuff!
lets talk simpits!

1. what interface do you use
2. anyone have anyway to display real time gauges or a plan in the works to do that
3. for those that don't build and would like to ask away! we that build LOVE to talk about it so you can't ask something stupid
(the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask)

the progression of my pit and its change due to game changes and exp.

I am a little tired to go looking for the pics of my cheap-o pit (plus it's a racing pit more then flying), but:

"2. anyone have anyway to display real time gauges or a plan in the works to do that"

There currently is no way to use gauges like the Air-speed indicator, Altimeter and so on that is made for PC in AH.  Skuzzy has said the coding required for making them work in a nightmare and it will only happen if a company makes one that is easy to work with.  Hopefully one day.

If you get a fuel hit does that water heater spray you?

No, that would be a radiator hit.

cool set-up man, I have been thinking about making something for AH for a few years now, so far I got the chair .

on your set-up I like the stick between the legs, that's how I fly, cant stand it to my right.

flying F-16's the right side feels natural as can be.  You know "fly by wire" and all but with these  birds a center stick is so much better. took me a bit getting used to it but I have adapted. Not being able to get to 10,000 feet in a second or two has been a bit of a learning curve as well lol.

I got the game "lock-on" and had the PS2 game ace-combat 4, I could never get into the jets, I love the props, how long you been in AH / flying the props?  It is so different then the jets, which im sure you know lol, serious cool setup, I want mine to be less like a cockpit and more along the lines of this chair,


just trying to decide what I should do it out of, PVC would save me money but the frame would be a lot bigger then steel tubing, plus with the steel its gotta be welded which I cannot do.....

one thing I am good at.....procrastination 

while I was searching I found this chair WOW  just shy of 10K
