Sharing my Elite Dangerous simpit/gameseat

Hi guys,

I'd like to show you how i play Elite. I made all the joystick mechanics and switch boards. There's a rudder, a throttle and an X/Y stick with loads of buttons and LEDs.

I'm currently working on a console with more buttons, and cowl with overhead switches to increase the immersion (2nd image)

Nice!

Sweet! Any chance of build photos? Especially regarding the switches, those look really cool!

Thanks guys!

I've got my blog and a Elite thread over at frontier: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=171495

Amazing work, love the style and simplicity of the your set up!

Thank you sir! I'm planning on adding more buttons and switches(because i can) but i lacked the panel space! Easy solution was to add more panels and that is what i'm working on now.

Excellent work!

Did you build your own pedals!?

Nice....

Built my own pedals, joystick, throttle, switchboard, lighting, electronics, mechanics, display mount, the whole shenang. With a 3D printer, a lasercutter, and too much time on my hands. It started with making my own gimbal x/y stick, it quickly escalated to a full simpit.

Seriously dude...you have some serious talent! I'd pay you handsomely to build something like that for me.

Awesome!

Stay in touch for more awesomenity when i put on the leather finish and backlit switch panels.
