Here is my Universal Cockpit Project. Sadly nothing really new at the moment, besides a few changes at the main panel to integrate some LCD's. I made a photo of the whole thing this time, so you could see the "back seat" too. I would like to fly fighter jets, attack helos and some big military transport aircraft (helos) too.
Thats why it has an mini overhead panel also. The HOTAS are interchangeable for every type of aircraft. Some other pics are arround here at SimHQ.
For other simulations like Steelbeasts Pro or Dangerous Waters the "back seat" is used or if a simulation has a controllable WSO/RIO you could of course use this too.
RL catched me again, so not much time to work on it at the moment. Then there is a simulation, that is really near my heart and I absolutely want that it's staying alive. It's EECH Allmods (superb attack helicopter simulation). I'm spending much time with this now.
I do my very best to get the modding for it starting again. Maybe some of you guys are interested in helicopters too, then take a look here in the forum. We need people who are willing to help and able to program C# / C++ or could do 3D with Lightwave.
Man, the "Photobucket Debacle" really took a toll on this thread, especially older posts.

I started to use TinyPic when posting on forums. Pretty simple and free.
Where do you live in SC? I'm supposed to go to N Myrtle on Sunday for a week, but it's looking like we'll change our vacation to a Wed-Wed weeklong.
Upstate, near Greenville. Yeah, I wouldn't make plans anywhere on the eastern coastal regions in the next week or so.

Well, good... you're like me, far enough inland that wind is really the only major concern. I don't know about you, but I'm old enough to remember Hugo. I live about 15 miles west of Winston-Salem (lived 30 min north of the city when Hugo came).
I think by Wednesday things should be mostly cleared out. Assuming the roads into Horry are clear we should be ok. I heard today that 501 is having the southbound lanes reversed, but we don't take that route to the beach... I take 74 all the way to Chadbourn, then come down through Tabor City to hit SC 9 and 22.

Yep, I remember Hugo. I remember driving to Charleston about a year later and seeing forests of felled trees.
They're predicting 60 mph winds, gusts to 75, for SC upstate on Tuesday!

Thank's! The idea was cool, but it's really hard to get all working. I hope I can finish it someday. At the moment caused by illness I have not so much desire for it, but I hope things get better somewhere in future. It's the dream of my past twenty years and I absolutely want to bring it to reality. In the meanwhile I do the "brain work", so that I could go further if things get better and my son has time to help me again. Without him most of the work should not have been possible.

Wow, I wish I could do something comparable in terms of perfection. Looks really good!
I took my Obutto apart to but some mats down under it. Used gray puzzle piece mats from Lowes and two anti-fatigue mats from Home Depot with a diamond pattern. Pretty pleased with results. I also took the opportunity to rewire everything neatly.
