Reading through the orbiter screenshots thread, the Orton Process applied pictures like http://orbiter-forum.com/showpost.php?p=10874&postcount=151 really cought my eye. Can a post render shader effect be made to do something like this in the GPU applied after the frame is done? Have it be some...

Anyone happen to have a good diagram of the MEDS displays from Honeywell or Philips for the shuttle? I'm trying to nail down a few dimentions I'm not 100% sure on yet. Does the shuttle use the same displays that are in the 777? I read somewhere that they're both simular. Are they just simular in...

Anyone used NASM to get NASA technical drawing on microfilm? I know it's common to do with aircraft research. Wondering if it would be a good way to get accurate technical drawings on old NASA spacecraft for simpit building?

I saw this new how-to over at FO (fighterops.com) and thought it might interest you guys too. Looks to be a cost effective control stick gimbal build. IMHO, it would work well in my SS1 build. :) http://www.fighterops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9311

I thought I'd start a thread about simpit outside visualization. Depending on your build there are many ways to go about it. I have been used to using a Matrox TripleHead2Go and 3 projectors. Here is a pic of my current surround screen projection setup using 3 InFocus SP5000 projectors. I'm...

I thought I'd post a bunch of SS1 cockpit detail pics I'm using for reference for my simpit build. I'll be using these to help in my CAD drawings of the simpit. These are screen caps from the NASM SS1 cockpit Quicktime VR located at: http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/gal100/ss1.htm

Below is a compiled list of helpful simpit reference links. Please post new links or new descriptions for links to this thread so they can be added/updated. :) Simpit Building Websites: MyCockpit - An simpit building specialized site with extensive forums. They specialize in MSFS simpit...

To help jump-start this new sub-forum I'm offering help of CAD/CAM design work and in some cases at material cost CNC machining for people working on simpits. Any CAD/CAM or CNC work I do must be shared with others in this sub-forum to be available for all as reference. IMHO, that is a very...

Has anyone used OUIPC and Orb Connect with thier simpit build yet? I'm curious about everyone's i/o setup for thier simpits.

I'm thinking on doing an orbitor simpit. I'm looking for any ideas or suggestions. I'm leaning towards a custom DG variant build at the moment. I like the DG but I'd like to design the cockpit to fit the hardware I have available. I want to have the simpit be as immersive as possable with the...
