Yupp the ghetto pit has reached its TBO and its time for an upgrade. I just ordered a beamer and started sketching plans for the new pit. I have a pantry room in my basement that I will be moving the rig to thats totally dark with no outside light for the projector to do its thing. I am not going enclosed "well I am taking the whole room" which is about 7x12 enclosure so there should be plenty of room. I am thinking of ditching the f-16 seat and making a hybrid that can function as a warbird, a jet fighter, and as a GA airplane, or easily switch between the three.

Why you ask?

well I spent a couple hours on Sunday extending a force feedback by about 16 inches and moving the buttons and everything up top and did some flying with that and the rudders... hold crap my interest was instantly reborn!!  The ghetto pit has always been fun and when I am not flying my little biplane I am all over it! but that long throw stick made all the difference in the world for simming.

Wish me luck.

Projector got here last week I have a rough in of what is going to be, It plays great @ 50" and If I had more room I could easily go bigger.

will post pics soon
