Change of direction for my pit. Just waiting for my OR to arrive. Just enough physical buttons and analog controls to find virtually blindfolded

 

now what to do with the dash I built....

Comfy looking seat there. If anything else the MIP can stay for decoration purposes, will give it more of a pit look.

 

And then are you 100 sure you will never need it again? I did try OR at friends place, albeit not with DC). it's obviously immersing and great and unprecedented, but I still doubt it's end all be all solution . At least at the current state of things I will not be getting rid of my 180FOV visuals.

if Cast AR was further ahead, IE more like real time green screen. where ever there was green screen around the pit you could see sky then Id keep the pit as is, to be honest ive only sold my 3d printer and triple screens, so I could always go back to a hybrid AR/VR/physical pit later

Finally in VR

 

Rift is hanging from the joystick :smartass:

 

I agree with every comment about DCS in VR, screen door, gauge res/reading, 1 to 1 for instant SA, spotting targets, cockpits look amazing in VR, no pilot body is weird at first but preferable to A body that obscures panel, vertigo on take off

 

....and I did the "put hand up to shield my eyes from sun" and "reach out to touch the panels" thing

I think I'm done

 

Other than the Virpil F-14 grip and baring building a 3 DOF rig I think its finally done now the two Shakers are fitted. It seems weird, rly I started my dedicated Rig building in 2007 and since then have upped my woodworking, metalworking, learned 3D printing, electronics, wiring I've learned a lot. Seems weird to be comfortable that its now done and that itch is scratched :pilotfly:

I've been following you progress for a long time, I think it's amazing with your progress and rebuilds, feels like your really narrowing down your perfect setup!

 

It looks fantastic, your way further than me atleast, and then you've made several build in the same time, impressive! This thread deserves way more attention!

Looks really great. A true labor of love by the looks of it. Time to just enjoy it!
