I have drawn up some plans, and am going to build a simple simulator system for flight sim, basically featuring and enclosed f18 cockpit, rudder pedals, joystick throttle, and an instrument panel.  I will use 2 displays, one for the view in front of me, and one for instruments.  Hope to post some pics soon...   Grin

Yah, I've been having trouble looking for rudder pedals (expecially cheaper ones)  The CH Pro Pedals look nice, but I don't know if I'm willing to spend that much, or spend that much time homebuilding pedals.  I also need to build a seat, before I start most of the work.
