Hi,
Let me first introduce myself. I am from Europe, the Netherlands, so English is not my native language. I do make mistakes. I have some experience in home cockpits. This is my Cessna based cockpit.
Unfortunately I had to move and in my new house there’s not enough space for a full cockpit. So I demolished the cockpit.
But now I will start building a new cockpit. Because I dont have a lot of room, it has to be very small. Or it has to be possible to easily store and move it. Also, it will be a VR cockpit.
So my design requirements are:
- F16 cockpit
- Small, when stored it should be less than 0.5 square meter (about 3 foot by one foot). The complete cockpit including rudder pedals, vr-headset, computer, etc should fit in this space
- VR, so looks are not that important, alltough it must look nice
- Easy to move and transport. From stored to fully operational within maximum 5 minutes
- Fully functional, first version only working throttle, stick, rudder, mfd’s, icp and some switches such as the gear, brake and other
- Dimensions as close as possible tot he real cockpit
Compromises
- It seems to be impossible to fit a chair within this small space. So for now I will have to use a regular desk chair.
- 1:1 scale is also not possible so it will be a bit smaller
What do you think? Will this be possible?
