Our very own John Baymore who started this forum dedicated to building the ultimate flying experience, has undertaken an incredible project! At first it was a vision, but after months of hard work and dedication, his dream is starting to take shape.
I have made this a sticky so anybody who comes to this forum can see that with some glue, nails, a bit of imagination and a Big credit card, you too can build your ultimate cockpit!
John moderates this forum and it is only right that we be able to view his progress as he comes closer and closer to sitting in it!
We are looking forward to the final pictures John sitting in the big chair enjoying this hobby you have taken to the extreme!!

Congrats and best of luck!!

Below are the links to the pictures and the progress! Alto of dedication and hard work!!
Post a comment to tell John what an incredible job he is doing!!

Has anyone realised, the pictures in John's early posts such as Part 1 have the pictures missing. I guess it's because Pete deleted all the older pics...

ramos,

No real news to report at the moment on the simpit......... too busy with "life" to get any time to do anything right now. But a lot of thinking about it is going on.... so that helps to resolve problems. Wink

Freeware download but the addons are mostly payware. A lot of bugs too. Highly unstable. I'd wait for Life v. 1.03 to come out.
