Post by: Treize69 on March 17, 2007, 10:30:25 PM: Only suggestion- find a way to have the stick center-mounted. Maybe even find one of those home-built ones that extends all the way to the floor.

Otherwise, very nice. :aok

Reminds me of the M1A1 driver compartment mockup we made when I was in basic. Only nicer.

Post by: weazely on March 17, 2007, 10:52:27 PM: i think that the stick not in the middle gives it the feel of a F-16

atleast looks that way

that edge is just asking for accidental tipping of cans.

Post by: VooWho on March 18, 2007, 09:58:19 AM: Another thing you beer guys forgot, wheres the fridge? It should be placed to the bottom left of your chair under the table, holding all your cold beers, and a couple of PJ sandwitches.

Miraj, what did you use? Is that oak-faced ply, or just a veneer on some particle board?
Title: My new custom cockpit build.
Post by: Doberman on March 19, 2007, 08:54:48 PM: I see the G15. I see the Cougar. I see the N-52 (I LOVE mine. It's the Cougar for FPS gaming. :) )

But dude, where's the TrackIR? Am I just not seeing it, or do you really have all this other cool gear and NOT have what's possibly the coolest of all?

And ya really need to find a way to mount a G25 wheel in there as well. ;)

Nice build though.

Post by: Doberman on March 20, 2007, 01:51:01 PM: Ahhh, there it is. :) I saw the hat in the first pic and thought it mighta been for a TrackIR, but didn't see the reciever anywhere.

Have you used it much with this configuration? I wonder how well the zoom in/out function will work for you in the semi-reclined position of your chair. Might get uncomfortable trying to lean forward. I honestly don't find that I use the zoom functionality that terribly often in most of the games that I play, so maybe if you're like me it won't be that big of a deal. Lemme know how it works for you, as I'm trying to make some decisions about my own cockpit build.

You've got a SiG pistol?
