[simpits-tech] Battlestar sim

Guys-
When I was 9 years old back in the late 70s I would sit in my dads bass boat in the garage and pretend I was flying a viper.  I think that is where the sickness started!

I thought the cockpit was kind of strange too.

I've actually given serious thought to a 1:1 scale model of a Viper using 
the 'bot, but fortunately my common sense breaker trips every time I start 
thinking about it. :)

I think a _good_ spaceship cockpit built to work with a couple of the open 
source/open arch. space sims/games would be cool.  Orbiter is fully 
capable of supporting a high-fidelity cockpit via the SDK they have.


FYI, the last season of BSG starts on Friday night.  W00t! :)
