Wanted to link to the thread I made regarding cockpit dimension over in the Home Cockpits sub forum, as it's directly related to the F-4.

Cheers!

Where was this post back in 2006 when I started down this path?

At this point, I have:

1. A hybrid seat mixing real parts with a wood frame.

2. A real stick and stick grip which at one time was integrated with a BU0836X USB controller using radio control linkages (threaded rods with ball and socket joints), strong centering springs, and industrial grade linear potentiometers. I need to reassemble this but using a gutted VKB Gunfighter base or Thrustmaster Warthog stick for the analog inputs to get perfect, high-resolution values.

3. A real pair of throttle grips mounted on a nearly identical F-101 throttle quadrant with the surrounding control panels mounted on a left console made of wood with aluminum framing for mounting the panels realistically. I need to integrate this, preferably linking both the analog axes and switches to a Thrustmaster Warthog throttle.

I still need to fabricate a main control panel, right console, and some of the other controls such as the flaps switch and left and right vertical consoles.

I've been wanting to build a replica(s) of a Mk 7 or GRU-7. One for the office/Gaming room, and at least a pair for the front seats of my personal vehicle.  I'll bookmark this for future reference.
