Home Cockpit by Peter Hausamann
F-16


March - April 2003.

" I have not plugged the Thrustmaster H.O.T.A.S. Cougar to the computer as yet. Just finished building a very simple, F-16 cockpit area.

The construction took a while, an hour here and there - whenever I needed a break from studies. I'm going to use the CH Pro Pedals with a USB connector as well. The pedals will be able to reach the pc outlets but the HOTAS lead from the joystick won't - so I'll have to get/make an extension lead for it.

I've included some photos of the construction project. Hope they may be of some interest to you or to other members."

Peter's cockpit features the Thrustmaster H.O.T.A.S. Cougar controllers and CH Products rudder pedals.
