HISTORY:
Ever since I was a little kid I've been into military
aircraft. I must have built a hundred model airplanes or so. I got into
computers through my music-making, buying an Amiga500 to use as a sampler.
It didn't take long before I played my first flightsim on the Amiga, although
I can't really remember which game was first. I do know that later it was
Gunship2000 that really took me to the other side of 'the line'.
Since then I have tried almost every military flightsim
that has come out. Thinking about how I could 'enhance' my flightsim experience
I came to the conclusion that I 'HAD' to build a cockpit. I didn't have
an internet connection yet so I really thought I must be the only
freakin' loony in the world to build a cockpit in his bedroom!! Boy, was
I wrong!!! After hooking up to the internet I found out there was a whole
bunch of 'nuts' just like me. The best thing was when these people came
together through the SimPits mailing list. Thanks to this list we are now
somewhat of a 'community' and developments on my and other projects have
speeded up at least tenfold!!! Not to mention the avalanche of new
ideas that are brought up and discussed there weekly! I already tore
up my first try on the cockpit front, and amnow very busy planning and
developping my second try.
Any info I come up with, I will share with anyone interested........
