JAW ON FLOOR!

Wow.... what a great find.... thanks for posting it.

Generally a nice cockpit setup. But that little "added extra" is quite a piece of work.

Awesome.

That model should be easy to make, just connect string or something to make it move.

That cockpit is something though. Shocked

Looks like servos........ and yes not all that hard to do with Phidgets ....... but still impressive. And yes the general cockpit is nice...... that's what simpits are all about Wink

Read through the forum here... all your questions are answered.

John's (JBaymore) cockpit is better in most ways than what is shown... maybe the out-of-cockpit display is better in the video. Considering John kindly documented his descent into the depths of simpit insanity... it's not hard to see what it takes to get the job done.
