Sounds like fun. To bad you cannot add the gunners.

hi Geewiz

This company is starting to make high quality, heavy duty replica flight controls. B17 may be a way off, but there may be some opportunities for cooperation here...

TARMAC ACES | By simmers, for simmers

I assume Geewiz you're UK based? I'm East Anglia UK, so if there's anything I can do to help (have some museum connections) I also have a full B17 Pilot manual kicking around the house somehwere if thats of any use.

Cheers

This guy really out-did himself with this built from scratch B-17 cockpit. It's a work of art.

Yes, I've seen this before. I try not to advertise it...really puts my little simpit to shame!

It is an amazing piece of work, isn't it!

Hi Geewiz,

Your work on your simpit is amazing. I really love the B-17, it started when i saw the "memphis belle" movie when i was a kid.
My dream is to build a simpit like your. I wonder, how did you manage with the three screens to have the sides on the left and right screens ? Did you use one or more computers ? Thanks for your informations!!!

Hi Mat and welcome aboard. You should do a thread on your project !

As for the '17 sim's, one word...wow !. Great to see that there are guys out there with the interest. Lets have some more updates ?!

Doesn't look like you needed TOO much help to pull it off. Looks great.

Dear Sir,

Did you ever build the throttle quadrant mentioned in your post? I have a panel and want a throttle quadrant for my display.

Thanks,
Russ
