I wonder how "comfy" that seat is though?

Thanks for the replies, and big kudos to Loophole, thanks for the design.
Yes, i found the sketchup model on 3dmodels.com or something like that, and added my gear. :-)

The seat isnt very comfy yet, but it will be once i make the foam seat. :-)
The pit still needs some work though, although i dont plan to make a dedicated pit with a million switches (yet)

Some time since I've updated this thread..
I haven't progressed with my pit since last time, but I intend to add some buttons to my simpit the easy way. :-)

I've found this neat application called HID macros, where you can seperate two USB keyboards and use keyboard #2 for FSX assignments.
(for later on, this application also makes it possible to use multiple keyboards, such as an additional overhead button panel etc.)

Also, I've found some ideas for modifying a keyboard for simming, such as:



I'm planning on using nearly every available (generally usable) commands in FSX, which shouldn't be a problem, since a keyboard has 105 keys. :-)

If your going to use that kind of keyboard mod, then I would recommend using it in conjunction with HIDMacros which can be found here:

In short, if I read this correctly, it will allow you to use multiple keyboards, and through it's software, have each 's' on each keyboard be recognized as independent key presses, where as windows by default see's all keyboards connected to the pc as the same keyboard, so that an 's' on one keyboard is the same as the 's' on every other keyboard.

Yes, exactly, Lupus :-)
Hid macros supports multiple keyboard ID's and it's actually capable of mapping fsx commands directly to a button press.
