Another new and old project is building a “cockpit” for a flight simulator, not really a cockpit with seats and coffee maker, just an instrument panel with some switches. In the past i already built some panels, but they were just some switches in shoebox with some light bulbs. Many years ago as a kidContinue reading “FSpit – Another simulator cockpit”

Due to the Covid pandemic a lot of video meetings are held … some are so boring and need some exhilaration. A fart and weird noise generator is needed. All the necessary parts i found in my “store” at home. A suitable case has been constructed in my favorite 3D drawing programm FreeCAD, the lowerContinue reading “Oh no ! … another new project”
UGC2 – Case top part printed
After solving the nerve-racking clogging issue on the 3D printer i was finally able to print the case top part. I did not spend much time for a shiny finish, i will do that when i’m bored, which probably never will happen … As always if a prototype is beeing build, there are small unforeseenContinue reading “UGC2 – Case top part printed”

Playing simulation games can be very frustrating, a lot of functions are distributed somewhere on a keyboard, hitting the wrong key could cause a disaster. Building a cockpit with dedicated switches and buttons may avoid a virtual catastrophe. But controlling a truck by an airplane cockpit, or do a successfull moon landing with a truckContinue reading “UGC2 – The universal game controller”
