Re: Sim cockpit

Check this site out. It has plenty of links to others who have built cockpits. http://www.desktopsims.com/dts9.htm

That's pretty cool. Mine is much simpler and is shaped like a car. Built it for $30 in two hours. One of these days I'll post the plans and pics. As soon asI stop working six days a week. JM "E. Crawford" wrote:

I took a half-tube of aluminium, a small strip of perspex for the window, placed a wooden plank to connect the steering wheel and put the whole over an old car seat. Looks very 30's and makes you feel like you're Tazio Nuvolari :-) btw the half-tube was taken from a demolished petrolstation where it was used to blind the pole from a pricesign.

Or visit Derek's cockpit links. Mostly flight sims over there but the principals are the same for a racing simulator. http://www.mindspring.com/~dhiggs/cockpits.html I did build a sim a few years ago. You can take a look at it here: http://d1o11.telia.com/~u11103812/simulator/bileng.htm Buy it is not a real cockpit, more like a "car simulator". I have updated it several times since then. -- /M Lindqvist Spamguard: Remove .ajabaja in e-mail J Craig <[email hidden]> skrev i diskussionsgruppsmeddelandet:83nor2$rjm$[email hidden]... > Check this site out.

Try Tova's page at http://members.tripod.it/Tova/. It's in Italian, but if you use Alta Vista's translator, you can read it okay. Any way, the pictures tell the story. Glenn Mr Meaner wrote:

I'm sure you're in sim info utopia right now, but I thought you might want to check out the info I have on my meager site. I've converted some drivers education simulators to work with PCs. Yet another option for PC racing fun. Anyway, there may be some info there that may be of interest to you. I haven't quite finished the sim conversion page yet, and I'm still trying to dig up info on who originally manufactured these devices. Good luck on your project, and let me know if I can help you further by emailing me (there's an email link on my site). Here's the URL: http://home.att.net/~tonylong/ There's a picture of 2 of the units down about the middle of the page, below (in the text) there's a link to the page containing the pics of the base construction. I'm still constructing this page, so please excuse the mess. Later, Tony Long Mr Meaner wrote:
