creative control panel layouts for single player???

Pages: (1/3) > >>

armax:

Anyone have any creative single player control panel layouts (pics would be appreciated)?  I'm tossing around the idea of  2 joysticks in a tank configuration with the 6 button fighter setup in-between them, spinner on the far left, trackball to the far right.  Sort of a solo frankenpanel desktop controller until I free up more space in my house.  I can't be the first to contemplate a versatile CP for a single player...

Here's one, although I ditched the spinner.

Thanks mark! what project are you working on?  I like the layout, though I'm thinking of moving the spinner to the right for disks of tron.

I think I'm working on a similar project to yours.  I'm building multiple panels for an upright cab.  I would prefer to have rotating panels, but I think that is beyond my abilities.  I know you're going to build a rotating CP (with interchangeable panels), so please document how you do it.

This panel is the one I plan to play single player games on and it will probably be used 80% of the time.  All the panels are 27-3/8" wide by 14" tall.  There will be 7 - 9 CPs total and will interchange between two cabs and a desktop base (I'm building all 3 bases at the same time).

I really wrestled with where to put a spinner.  The location in the diagram is in the way of the TB for Golden Tee golf, so I scratched it.  I have a Discs of Tron spinner that I will use on a separate panel.  An Oscar V2 or SlikStik would fit on this panel on the left fairly easily, though.  Maybe higher and to the left of the 49-way (but left of the 6 button cluster).

actually, I planned on a rotating monitor setup with swappable panels.
