Look out Luftwaffe....
« on: April 19, 2018, 10:30:20 AM »
Nef and his new wingman will be bringing the pain to Occupied France and Germany in his new simpit.





Thanks to former Aher trooper2 for helping with the build.



Pic during the build. Got a throttle post and stick post for my X52 pro.



Going to get a used desk to mount the monitors on. But for now the stand I built will do.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It took a Sunday of thinking, BSing, and welding by Trooper2.

It was VEVOR racing simulator pit. I bought it on eBay and trooper modded it to fit a Pontiac Sunfire seat, turned the stick shift adapter into the throttle mount post. And added a stick mount post.

If you look close, you can see Stephen Coonts autograph on the nose. Coonts is s native West Virginian and lived in nearby Buckhannon, WV. My wife found it in an antique shop and she bought it for me and I framed it.

Just need to hang it up lol.

Nice rig I want one :rock  Picking up from the other thread my uncle was in VA-165 the Boomers and I sent him an email to see if he severed in any of the squadrons your dad was in. that photo was from that squadron and they had flown off the America. He did not have the year on the photo.
