Yeah man awesome stuff!

cool!!!how did u make that panel??

Not finished by any means, but this is the Block 52 I've been flying for almost two years...

Damn! Gunner... That's a hell of a first post!!!


Let me be the first to say welcome and thanks for the pics. The pit is ab-so-lutely beautiful.
And to be the left wing, for the Virtual Thunderbirds, too!....very impressive.

As a fellow pit builder and ex-Air Force "spark chaser", I salute you, sir!

That's absolutely drool-worthy!

Thanks for showing us.

Do the instruments show live information or are they inert?

~S~

Thanks guys!



The Altimeter and Machmeter are hybrids made from real cans, and a mix of faces/parts from Simkits and Mike "Kabar" Williams at Viperpit.org. With a little work, I could make them functional with FSX or Falcon, but ALL my flying at this point is LOMAC, and last I checked it's unlikely I could interface them with the sim. The rest of the instruments are all non-functional replicas. Since all my flying these days is with The Virtual Thunderbirds, my world is Boss's missile rail - The only time I ever have a use for steam gauges is between the break and rejoin on the High bomb burst...but they look cool. Not all the switches are fuctional, but everything I would ever use as a Virtual Thunderbird works in the sim.

Gunner FTW (in yet another "show your setup"-thread).

I've had the privilege to fly his pit a few times, and it's even more impressive in person (especially at night with the backlit panels and guages).

If there's a build thread somewhere for this pit, I'd love to see it!

There are two:

If you spend any time over at viperpits.org, you will see that my pit is nothing special compared to some of the masterpieces there.

Good lord that is incredible.
