done?









Spent most of the day today taking apart the Obutto, cleaning, and re-configuring the panel layout.

Time for a beer...

That is done, I would say.

Replica cockpits, or those with ambitious goals like projectors or curved screens or aircraft-and-racing-pit-in-one, well, I compare them to the model train hobby --- the trip (making the terrain) is longer than the actual hobby (playing trains).

I can say for sure that my pit will NEVER be finished.

I dreamed about it and planned it out for years. Finally started building it when I found out about EECH having data export.

Changing things as you go along is normal - God! I love this stuff.......

Is that a CH/Thrustmaster combination? I would kill to have one of those work with a USB port. I really wanted an old Sucom Throttle but I am not that electronically inclined.

That is essentially Suncom Throttle handles grafted on to CH electronics.

Seriously man that is! I do my best but even my version of neat makes it look like spaghetti to yours! And no pit building is never finished. I try to think of it as never finished but always functional!

EDIT: Why can't we ever manage to lose the keyboard......? Some day...

UGH! I have another mod in mind. Something to convert from civilian (as you see in previous post) to military fighter (MFDs/ICPs) simple mod but took me a li'l head scratchin' to figure out how to pull it off. Film at eleven...
