pitbldr Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Nice! That looks very solid and I really like the folding "wings". Great way to save some space! :)
walker450 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks! The link to my original design is in my sig. I done the modifications this morning to allow the use of my new Playseat office chair. This makes it much easier to get in and out of the pit, and my office chair can still be used at a normal desk if desired. I am still working on it is why I didn't post much earlier. I just added a shelf to the front of it (above the rudder pedals) to sit my tower on. This way everything is together. My next project will be to build a custom triple monitor stand. Once done, I will build a new top which will be narrower, allowing the ability to remove the HOTAS, fold down the sides, and have the ability to move it through doorways.

pitbldr Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 I went with a playseat too and it's working well and it's comfortable! :D
walker450 Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Which build thread is yours? I'm sure I've seen it but can't remember exactly.... Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
pitbldr Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 My "main" thread is here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=59668 But I've not updated that one in an while and had to remove some pics I had uploaded (it was before I was hosting them elsewhere), so take a look here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=76185 and here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=76962 Man, didn't realize I'd separated this stuff out so much. Need to keep it together. :doh:
walker450 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Wow pitbldr, you do awesome work!! Thanks for sharing!! I added a shelf onto the back of the pit to set my tower. You can see it in the following pic. This is a pic of me sliding it down the hallway into the computer room. Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod

walker450 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks! I actually did think about adding wheels! I will definitely continue upgrading in the future! My next step will to finally paint and stain it so it looks halfway decent. :) Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod
