Most impressive joystick setup?

[Shuffler]

I work for my parents currently in a metal fab shop, I bet you I could make a sim cockpit exactly like any airplane except for the glass canopy thats outta my league.

Yes you can. Only factor is how much one wants to spend. Single off fabrication means all tooling and setup is piled onto one item. If 100 are oredered then tooling and setup is spread across all units making it more cost friendly.

I think I might make one but then i'll officially be a NERD.

How did you add the resistance..like caused from a spring on a normal gaming joystick?

Presently I only have one source of resistance: the rubber seal at the front of the tube, which makes the stick go forward when released and resists pulls to the rear.
Left/right inputs have no resistance.

The real stick used a bob-weight system to simulate stick forces since hydraulics elimnated all feel.
More g's put more force on the bob-weight.
When the F-4 was parked, the stick could be moved freely to any position and would stay there.

I bought some springs to provide light centering forces for left-right, but have yet to make time to install them.
I actually like the precision and feel of a long throw stick with no centering forces!
