	Simulation cockpit - Definition, explanation
		Simulation cockpits or simpits are environments designed to replicate an aircraft cockpit for use with home flight simulators.
		The term simpit is also more generally applied to train and car simulators but the vast majority of those built are for aircraft.
		The first software requirement for a simpit is a suitable flight simulator to provide the graphics, sound and instrument outputs for the pit.

		The current prototype SimPit has been moved to the Flight Simulator 'Hangar' - a shed at the bottom of my garden ;-).
		This is the new home for the SimPit.
		The hangar has been painted and made ready to receive the SimPit and supporting hardware.

	Simpit description
		Due to limited ceiling height, I decided to build a simple simpit construction, which could be moved to the side of the attic when not in use.
		The simpit is designed as General Aviation single seater.
		When I did the experiment with multiple projectors, the projector beams just hit the front of the simpit, therefore I modified the front top slightly backwards.

	Simviation Forums - A new Simpit
		Hi Im new to the whole simpit thing, but I have a concept of how to put an extention on a joystick.
		The most common in use for simpit construction are the rotary and slide types.
		For most simpit use you want what is called "linear taper".

		Building a simpit might be out of the ordinary, but I dont think I´m a nut.
		So please remove this suggestion from this forums Title, if you are aiming to get serious simpit builders as your customers.

	How about this for a basis of a simpit? - Official Fighter Ops Forums
		Actually, I can't tell at all what the cockpit airframe is like because it only shows the bottom of it.
		There is something very unique to the idea of actually having a simpit that is a real current service warbird airframe though.
		The only other example like this I've ever heard of is that F-15 salvage simpit.

		Note, these are Ver 1.0 of the simpit , I am up to Ver 1.5 Ver 1.7 will include bier keg mounting, co2 cyl, and tap installation
		Mechanically, the simpit will sit on a platform that will pitch, roll, yaw, and move forward and back aprox 10 to 15 inches in each direction.
		I have an article somewhere by a fellow who built a simpit and he used pneumatic actuaters for movement.

		Glad to hear from yet another ww2 simpit builder, we are starting to get a few of them on this Forum now.

		The lessons learned in this process can be put to good use if they later decide to build a high-spec compromise or replica pit, which requires a great deal of time, effort and passion to complete.
		To date, the majority of civilian simpits are built around Microsoft Flight Simulator, and most military pits use http://www.f4hq.com Falcon 4 as a base.
		Thee are also several sims in development that look promising: http://fighterops.com Fighter Ops and http://www.combat-helo.com Combat Helo are both committed to providing support for a wide variety of simpit requirements.

		From the inside the experience is awesome, Sean has attached speakers behind you so the sound is great, and intends rigging a sound system which will physically move you in your seat.
		At times when I was focusing on where I was flying I forgot the stationary world around me and was totally absorbed in the flying experience.
		For me this was the key thing which makes Sean's SimPit so special, its the experience it offers that nothing else short of the real thing or a proper military simulator can offer.

	Bf109 Simpit Home
		I wanted to build a WWII era simpit since it is that era that attracts me to the combat-sim.
		Upon discovering the simpit community and looking for my WWII brethren I was only able to find two of them in existence.
		I settled on the Bf109 originally because of the flat panels of the canopy, but during my research I became excited by the multitude of camouflage schemes.

	Targetware :: View topic - Ever wondered what an Akers-Barnes simpit is?
		Aug 05, 2006 - 05:31 AM You might have seen in my signature that I am using a simpit for flying.
		It's a very flexible solution and it's assembled without screws or any other joints so it is easy to take to LAN parties and can be stowed away when not in use.
		All it takes is some plywood or MDF and a little work with a saw.

	BAe Panel Project Forum
		Stuff I'd like to see (as a simpit builder) is to make the whole thing FAR more compatible with interfacing into a simpit.
		One of the main things visually is 2D side wing views that show ONLY the wings on the 90 side windows at about the appropriate locations physically....not also the simulated window frames.
		That way a simpit builder can interface to it easily.

		Moreover 4 leds for the degree of opening of the Air-brakes was implemented : AF opening beginning = 1 led burn, around 30% opening = 2 leds burns, around 70% opening = 3 leds burns, around 90% opening = 4 leds burns.
		The realization of the electronic assembly is very simple and not very expensive, so we hope to satisfy the Viper Simpit builders.
		You will find in the zip files all the necessary to the realization of this interface: electric diagrams, table of correspondence for the Pins assignement, readme file for the installation.

		There must be a way to assign generic MFD button status to buttons in the Simpit panel.
		I eventually plan to include a full motion capsule which would be fun, but sadly, I can't even get a second monitor in place.
		The potential for this subject not interesting a large portion of the Forums membership is indeed the reason for a separate sub-forum, it will provide a centralised place for all things hardware and SimPit without dilution, while not diluting the general forum.

		Four of the excellent Simpit cockpits were there, along with one of the EZ-Cockpits and a new design by Allen Pawley.
		We were so impressed with this design that Michael Barnes and myself (Peter Akers) sat down and designed and built our own cockpit, loosely based on Allen's concept.

		I set it up to document the development, building and use of my simpit.
		For those who do not know a 'simpit' is an place to enjoy flight simulation using more than just the keyboard, mouse and joystick.
		These 'simpits' can, and do, range from just adding a few plug & play boxes to control radios etc costing a few hundred Euros right up to complete full-sized replica cockpits costing tens of thousands of Euros and taking up whole rooms running on multiple computers using projection systems.

		I've always wanted to build a simpit, i just lack the finances...
		I will be working on the project over the next couple of years, with a commissioning sometime in 2008 /2009 (time and budget management :-).
		What I anticipate is a modular protoyping approach until then, trying out the building blocks until I have a critical mass of systems to build a fully enclosed SimPit (avoid external distractions, with ambient sound through speakers and mission coms through headsets).
