This is really amazing. Did you buy some parts or make everything yourself? Very good, congratulations

Absolutely beautiful work!! "Hopefully the next update will have more button binds included." After all that effort, I would hope that you'll be able to actually taxi out of a revetment to the runway after the next update.

Fabulous.

My hats off to all of yourselves with far more creative ability than myself.  Awesome

I designed and made everything from original factory drawings.

Truly amazing. I am jealous. When I retire I am going to build something similar, although likely the BF-109 or Spitfire.

I have 3 questions.

1) How long did it take to build? 

2) How difficult is it to get into? My simpit is very basic but it is a challenge to my hips and knees. 

3) Does than fan sound more like the real Corsair engine than the sim?

Nope, The gauges dials don't function, it could be done but I fly in VR so it's not needed.

A bit less than a year, from start to finish, but I just retired so next one should be less.  But each one I build I gain experience, and each build is better than the previous,

Pretty easy to get into, the sides slide out for easy access.

Lol, currently yes.

Nice. Very clever. I think I will steal your idea! 

How do you manage to integrate VR with the cockpit? Do you use pass-through? Or is it more a case of lining up virtual hands with the switches etc? 

What is your next project?

Want.
