it's a shame that the company closed, is a amazing product

spitfire controls have impressed me much, but the price also, I can not allow

encourage you and your post more pictures of cockpits

I don't have any pics running CLoD, but here is my setup.

This is my black home cockpit, all controls are ergonomic in use. The leather seat is from IKEA and ideal for simming, because it has no rollers and it`s tubular steel frame ensures perfect feedback for the mounted "Buttkicker Gamer"-Clamp. My cockpit installation is designed for nighttime-use, even map navigation at night without screen reflections is possible.




The "cockpit" is tight as a real warbirds one. In this picture you can see my modified combat pedals:

Pretty good, what do the dials output?

The backlit dials are for "Volume" and "Frequency", it`s the field transistor radio out of the Spirit of Saint Louis Collection. If you tune in muted noise signal it adds a lot of immersion.

Thats very impressive, might look for that seat on Ikea I'm in need of a new one and own a Buttkicker too.

Here's my gear, added a Saitek trim wheel since these pics and took delivery of a Trackir 5 with trackclip pro yesterday ... awesome, don't know why I left it so long.

There's some very impressive stuff here...I think I may stay single forever if I attempted to make one for myself before finding the right person but I'm impressed nonetheless

I've just started getting into the DCS A-10C sim...and that has made me want a proper replica...I'm getting ideas way above my station there...but I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment and too much imagination and 0 skill! lol.

I did however have a bit of a play on a simpit at the Helicopter museum near Bristol a couple of weeks ago. It had a wrap around screen and custom made helicopter controls, which were for sale. It was very impressive, I felt quite dizzy when I got off it but if I had the space and the money I'd buy a version for IL2!

Who's with me on a Post Office smash and grab?
