gene172 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I decided to post a pic of my cockpit, I built about 4 years ago as a retirement project. My goal was to have a GA cockpit where I could fly a variety of aircraft instead of a specific aircraft. The shell is cabinet grade plywood, designed with the help of Sketchup and the assistance of a cabinet maker friend who cut the wood for me. Mostly I like to fly GA, such as the F1 172, PA-18 Archer, Carendo Beech Baron as my favorite. I recently puchased the A2A 172 trainer, which is fantastic. However, some of the GoFlight controls do not work correctly. So I am in the process of learning Lua to re-program those controls. Also I added a small second computer and Simplugins to put the guages on the 4th monitor. I put this up so it may trigger some ideas from another perspective.

CapitanFuturo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This is really nice, great details in the wooden structure and those 2 lights in the top corner are just too cool. Have fun flying in it...

vride1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hey that's very sweet! What's the unit above the throttles, with the mouse coming out of? Love the backlit keyboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene172 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 The black thingy with the wire attached above the throttles is a volume & switch control for the main speakers. I didn't see any way to neatly mount it. (I have an external cheap amplifier for the speakers.) i7 975 @ 4.0,NH-D14, ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, Win 7 64bit, 12GB, GTX570, Crucial SSD 1TB, WD 300 GB VRAP, WD 2TB, Antec 1200 tower,FSX Gold, FSUIPC, UTX, GEX, Simplugins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
