Buidling a cockpit cab: help requested
<< < (3/6) > >>
Felsir:
I don't know exactly what you mean: is it two seats one one base?

I might be interested but I think the shipping costs would exceed building one from scratch since I live in the Netherlands. Shipping stuff this size and weight across the ocean would be rather expensive methinks. Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. Demonstrates the kind spirit in this community :-)
Felsir:
I found the game I refferred to in my first post: it's WGP from Taito.

K.L.O.V. doesn't mention the specific feature though I'm sure it was this game that had a fan for the 'real race feeling'.
hyiu:
you should go to junk yards, and auto shops...

a lot of times... they have car seats available for cheap...
(my place told me I can have them for free...)

then all you need is wait for a 8 way adjustable seat...
and waaaa-laaa.... its all good....

ps: my place is not junk yard.... but what they do sometimes is... they will auction a car back if they need parts... (like engine or transmission or something big...) and then they use that auction car for parts... and if there are 2 seats right there.... (they said they'll throw it away if nobody wants it...)

heee hee..... btw.... I still haven't got a nice condition 8 way power seat yet.....

Another goofy idea: a fan that blows wind in the driver's face. I remember a motorcycle game in the arcade (can't remember the name) that had this feature... Too bad no game actually outputs the speed the player is driving so I probably will not include this ...

Any idea's, hints and sound advice is welcome!

I have plans (or dreams...) to build a driving cabinet.  My original plan was to take measurements from a trans am, but my friend sold his, so I can't do that.  He did take pics, so I might try to use that.  Otherwise, it will be loosely based on my bonneville.

As far as the fan...  I was thinking of some way to mimic the air conditioning, so I don't really think your idea is goofy.

I also intend on connecting buttons on to the steering wheel for the radio to use with winamp.

>>8 way power seat<<

you think one could hook that up to 12v from computer power supply?    ;D
