I've completed my home cockpit! Pics inside (big ones)

My buddy Badger really helped me out with this one. I couldn't have done it without his reference and help to his. I based it off his. The only thing left to do is to tie down the wires.

 

I spent about 20 man hours on this project, and I have to say I am completely satisfied! This thing is a blast to play sims in! And it works well for playing all my other games too.

This is my attempt to make the keyboard/mouse mount at an angle. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I just didn't like how it turned out.

Very nice. But you missed the beer holder.

Ours is not to reason why, but rather to do and die.

Just to the right of the j/s... the bottles can sweat and drain off in the bottom making it more stable!:D

 

As a bonus you can use it as one kick-a$$ snow sled :P

 

But seriously, that is a very nice setup ya got there bro, the little MFD's are the icing on the cake!

Great setup! How do you find the distance of the g940 stick from your hands, do you have to stretch at all?

 

not at all. It's perfect. my forearm rests against my thigh while holding it, and my hand remains on the same plane, relatively level, when holding the stick. It's designed so my knees end up slightly bent just at top of stick height when on the pedals, and there's no contact with my calves to the wood the stickbase is screwed onto. the only drawback in the current configuration is that i have to move my feet down to effectively use wheelbrakes, but it's not a big issue really. I can also remove the stick portion to get in and out much easier. I didn't screw that part into the slot.
