    Hello, Lady and Gentleman.

    I am starting my project with special table and number of sim devices, then it would be placed on 3dof platform.

    Overall planned weight of table with devices will be up to 50 kg.

    Some pictures of what i have now. Will continue when i have more place to construct.

    And another guy, pretty old GPS Pilot III, black and white, but with modern aviation maps. Cool looking, as well connected to x-plane :) I like it even more than new, color one. Aesthetics overloaded :)

    To increase immersion i've build next prototype, number of vibration motors will be installed into chair, and linked to X-Plane's telemetry to get throttle level :)
    Prototype already works
