That's a sweet looking sim there...you have any pictures of you in the pit
with the front visual fired up?

Thought I'd better re-introduce myself over a long absence from the list.

Those of you who might remember me from days gone by, I'm the nutter in
Scotland with Bandierante flightdeck in the workshop. There's been very
little progress as per usual real life has a habit of getting in the way.
Effectively that project is on hold.


Instead I'm about to put together a smaller generic pit, using bits from the
Bandit and other items I've sourced over the past few years.  

One thing that I have managed to do, is get some stick time in a F3
(Tornado) sim at a not-so local RAF station.  Basically two years running,
I've managed to source a 40 min slot, the best part is that you fly the sim
solo!  Cracking fun, flying at 500 knots+ down the valleys, while being
chased by Mig 29's  or other Tornados.

Some photos of the simulator and instructor station here (I'm the mug in the
cockpit) http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y205/DarrenBe/F3%20Simulator/

I'm hoping to get a website up in the near future to give some insight into
some of the whacky simpit ideas whirling around in my head at the moment.

Cheers

Darren
