Just uploading the video - it's just a quick walkthrough - I gave it a push in the middle couple of times to show it doesn't tip over easy and it shows what's holding it in place and stable. The construction was calculated so all the weight goes into the legs (same physics as a crane) and everything is locked in a place so if you give it a push it doesn't move much (mirrors are staying locked in place relative to the screen at all times but if you need to readjust it you can)

I can do walkaround - unfortunately I've just discovered single gtx580 can do only one projector (need my ATI HD7970 back). will post some vids gaming once the other icarus will arrive to australia or once the card arrives back. I'm making these kits (construction, screen, mirrors, projector holders) for 1750 usd - here is the pic of the box before shipping.

mate - that's awesome! love that idea - I was fiddling with kinect but this is far better

Just sent you the tracking number :)

I can have the extension on the way today and I can ask FedEx, UPS or DHL for fast delivery - not sure how much does it gonna cost but I can ask and let you know.

metalnwood - thanks for the advice the shorter extensions are better for airplanes and I agree the 7.5 - 12 cm is ideal - i would say the long extension would be good for helicopter simulation

Hi Zhukov01, Just got it and it's fixed, double tested and it's working OK. If you'll PM me your address (there wasn't return address on envelope) I'll get it on it's way.

Hi, I wouldn't say it is losing money. It fixes the problems, it makes everybody happy and the next batch can and will be better. I've done the design in the same fashion as the visuals - so it can be very easily updated and improved without the need to throw away the whole thing if something goes wrong. I'm not sure what doubt it creates about the other products, it is an interesting question. The extension is not my main product, the simulators are - I'm doing the extensions because since I couldn't buy one I had to design one for myself and since I figured out how to make it I thought it might be nice to share it and offer it to everybody else as well. I hope it's not going to bite me back :). On the other hand everybody can see how the customer service works and see that I'm not just taking the money and I do really care that everybody has working product and is happy. right you are - but some things (as I've learned the hard way) has to be tested more thoroughly and more than once - it's quite hard on the joystick which isn't exactly cheap but unfortunately I'll have to keep using it for testing since it turned out that I can't trust the LED tester.

If you could do that it would be great - it should be relatively easy to wiggle cable a bit and pull it out. I'm very curious how that happened and why it is like that. I've tried to replicate the problem here but it should be physically impossible unless the cable or the Dshape inside is seriously damaged. If there was a part somehow damaged let me know which one it was and I'll send you a new one. It was just a thought since you mentioned the customs. I don't really think they would be poking inside - I've just mentioned it because with bit of imagination it can look like a blasting cap on x-rays (has the right shape and lot of wires :-D ) and I thought it might be worth to eliminate this possibility.

Hi Whiskey One, thanks for the positive feedback about the construction - looks like that part is all sorted - now I have to figure out the mystery about the extension cables. Looks like there is something going on. Rawtoxin had a similar problem and in his case it was the brown cable that had to be connected (i always cut that one as I don't need it with my joystick) it might be similar case with yours. Please email me your address and I'll send you new extension with all cables connected.

hi Whiskey One - glad to hear it's there :-) hi airdog, fingers crossed.

miky - just spotted your reply. it should be absolutely impossible to have the cable that way... the cable is D shaped and the top bit has D shape cut out - it fits there only one way. I did used hot glue to avoid the problem you had first time - can you remove the hot glue? here it is how it should look when you've got it - empty socket with the D shape Is it possible that the customs had a look inside to check what are the cables about?

Hi Miky - the bits should be there any day - it should have been delivered in 10 days and if I remember well it left 3 weeks ago. hi Raplh2 - glad it arrived hi rawtoxin - sorry about the hassle, since january I'm trying to test each extension before shipping so such a thing shouldn't happen (my apology to your wife). Just to confirm - was the brow cable cut and removed? On my stick the dead pin is always brown and the red one is the live one (and so far each extension I made had the brown cable removed and the red one connected) - was it the opposite with your stick? I wonder if there was mix up in color coding when they made the cable or if there are sticks with different pin order. everything else works ok? cheers tomas

Hi guys - has everybody got your mail? I've noticed couple of extensions on not tracked mail went missing. Has everybody got their replacement? cheers for the feedback

Hi gb, The length is the exact amount of extension you get after installation. cheers zahry

just noticed the question about the offset - if you undo the 2 screws which hold the male connector (at the bottom of the extension) you can rotate it left or right and there are 2 holes on each side with 20º offset for the screws - I'll take some photos and post it

cheers Cowboy10uk :-) it's really nice to hear :-)

Hi Miky - sorry - just had a time to have a look at the forum and found your problem - it might have glued the cable in - I'll send you new cable and top. pm me you address please. Hi DEWorley - the gray color is just a plastic - the cables are coming in mixed batches and acc to the manufacturer there should be no other difference. Hi Cowboy10uk - can't believe they have charged you tax on such a small item. All ok? Just in case somebody will have urgent problem and needs a help - send me a copy to my email just in case I'll be busy and forget to check the forum - will try to help asap. cheers :-)

finally got all the colors :-) and here is a orange sample

hi guys, thanks for the feedback - the newer extensions have all the initial flaws eliminated. @ airdog - the parts for you will be leaving tomorrow morning :-)

hi, the length is 12,5 cm (~5in). I'll take photos of the colors I have and post it on webpage in day or two. Orange and red looks pretty cool :-)

@zhukov01 -thanks :-), no problem at all - if you can send it back I'll do the mod and send it back to you straight away - hopefully the same day. @cowboy10uk - cheers. the stick is ready for departure tomorrow morning :-)

Guys, i would like to thank each and everybody for your patience and understanding with the teething problems. Cocking something up was my worst nightmare and i hope i will manage to sort everything to your satisfaction. If you'll run into troubles let me know and i'll do what i can to help. Cheers t

Regarding the mount - what kind of chair are you guys mainly using & do you want to have the mount attached to chair or table?
