Home Cockpit

Anyone at Globe have a Home Cockpit set up... Meaning an actual cockpit built? I know there is one, but I want to see if anyone else is into this area of simming. I have thought about it, but I just don't think I would ever have the room.

Begin by investing in a really nice couch.

I seriously considered this a couple of years ago, did a lot of research into it and still have a passion to build a full size B744 but if I do I want to do it right which will take time & money. I am single so luckily I have money to waste on such 'weird' pursuits, but time is something I don't have much of at present as career commitments just seem to take priority. I think will end up being a retirement project - although that is many years away yet. I actually work in the Control Systems field so it would be a project that would allow me to apply my skills to my beloved hobby. If you want any info, links, contacts msg me.

PS I noticed you are online at present, I'll try and get you through Company Channel.

Yeah, I thought about maybe getting an FMS to use and maybe some pedals and a yoke would help. Right now I have the CH Throttle Quadrant, and a twisty joystick and a TrackIR, so not much, but I would LOVE to have a giant crate painted like a Polar 747 stuffed full of monitors and a few real seats for a 747, but for now, I have to live with my wife and it just ain't goin' no further.

You gotta look at the upside of these things. You could be the first person who's home cockpit comes complete with a Crews Rest Facility!
