The cadets of 127sqn ATC have decided they want to build themselves a flight sim, as I'm an instructor there, and they know of my involvement with flightgear the task has naturally fallen to me to help. I thought people may be interested in the basic cockpit structure that we're using - it's documented on this site:
http://www.62ndfightingfalcons.asn.au/62ndff/projects/cockpit/cockpit.htm It's not entirely "free" as the designers would like to retain rights to their design, but you just need to drop them an email if you want to build one. Plans are on the site, and pics of our version are here: http://photos.stockill.org.uk/show_collection.php?id=96528 I'm planning on adding some rudder pedals using Alan King's design. It'll have to be a side stick using a standard joystick for now, but ultimately it'd be nice to get a proper floor mounted stick in there. I may investigate cheap USB joysticks to canibalise for parts, since it's extremely easy to run out of inputs if you limit yourself to analog joystick ports. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
