MacFevre Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Incredible video! Very, very nice work. You should be very happy with your pit, because if I get mine anything close, it will make all the time and effort worthwhile. Thanks for showing it really can be done. Buttons aren't toys! :smilewink: My new Version 2 Pit: MacFevre A-10C SimPit V2 My first pit thread: A-10C Simulator Pit "The TARDIS."

agrasyuk Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Looking very good. I really like your idea with rear projected instruments but hope that they don't look that washed out in person. Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
NeilWillis Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Inspiring stuff Icemaker. I am about to start building a cockpit, but I'm holding back a while because I may opt for the MiG-21Bis, or even the Typhoon. Your progress so far is a work of art.

icemaker Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 just buy a Gamepad mini stick replacement like this : Cut the base and paste it over the slew mini-stick, change game axis sensibility and it's done!
MTFDarkEagle Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 What kind of glue did you use? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
cichlidfan Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Did you do anything to the mini-stick (sanding, trimming)? I have wanted to do something like this for a long time.

icemaker Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 just a little drilling to ensure the most glue surface contact. For the glue i used cyanolite with catalyst 1
