No comments on the poster ? Nobody interested ? Weird !

I like the poster. Just that i dont have a sw cockpit and im sad. How much was it if you dont mind me asking? I was thinking of using some A New Hope posters for the sideart on a sw mame project i havent been working on and this might work out better.

shardian · « **Reply #242 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:36:44 pm »

If I had to guess, you had that poster printed off on gloss plotter paper didn't you.

Level42 · « **Reply #243 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:41:41 pm »

Yup. Downloaded the file and uploaded it to a drugstore's photo printing site. Choose the 75 x 50 cm poster size. It's printed on Fujifilm photopaper.

Cost: €8,95............

SithMaster · « **Reply #244 on:** October 25, 2007, 03:50:42 pm »

Then it might work out very well for what i want. Thanks for the idea.

I thought so, that fileset is stashed away for the moment, It does look sweet printed out.

other posters from the star wars saga. I dont know if you've seen all of these but I think they are cool.

Stashed away ? The posters are there to download on the link I put up there !

While searching the web I found this:

http://www.ionpool.net/arcade/atari_docs/swfocus2.pdf

This is an evaluation of having a group of people test-play the prototypes.

Look at Other Considerations #2

Looks like we need to thank those test-players who suggested the sit-down

rovingmind · « **Reply #249 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:58:45 pm »

i meant I had them stashed away, along with the artwork files. sorry for the confusion

My bad. Having a blonde moment...

Started a post yesterday asking where you got the poster... forgot about it... then finished the post today, then noticed that you answered the question...

BTW, my wife could not find those Logitech wheels in our Target.

Yes, the poster is in the group buy. I thought that was where he got it from. The link was pretty cool, and I think I'll try to get a few of those printed eventually.

I don't even have a garage. Let alone 3 cockpits.......well, I'm happy to have one

Yeah, I just bought the Series 1 DVD box set. Great to see that again, really brings out that 80's feeling and youth memories !!!

Despite the low budget, the (now) dodgy special effects etc., I still think this is a great SF series. The fact that the "heroes" are not the fantastic perfect beings that they seem to be in other series is great. The tension between the members of the group is always there. It's a much "darker" SF series than most others we know.....
It's also amazing how we got used to rapid shots/edits. Here, everything seems much slower all of a sudden......

Indeed, playing Galaga/Operation Wolf and watching Blakes 7 were the coolest things back then. Well at least I thought so

Great show. I loved the fact that the story would go past a single episode and indeed the depth they created in the characters.

Anyway, back to work you. You have cabs to fix

Level42 · « **Reply #262 on:** December 12, 2007, 05:36:48 pm »

Yeah, we're slightly drifting off (a couple of lightyears....)

Actually I'm doing nothing about the cabs right now, making a presentation that I have to do tomorrow....

Well that garage picture was great, so to compensate....

That hurts !!!!

By the colors of the marquees I'd say that 2 are US built and 2 Irish....
Also the one on the far left has the different bezel art. Someone here asked me about that....can't remember who or in what thread....

[Edit] I just looked at Stout's website, they can do anything you can imagine with the plexi. Just to name one: Computer controlled oven for bending...... think that would do the job fine

Hi my friend,

If you remember, the roof of my SW cockpit has a bad crack on it

I've to fix that too... Did you already put an order for new plexi ? What is the status on that ?

Level42 · « **Reply #268 on:** December 13, 2007, 01:08:00 pm »

Hey Bruno !

No I haven't done much about the SW lately, mostly because of winter time and as you may remember it's at my friend's shed so it's not that easy to work on it.

As you may have seen I've moved my Centipede into my livingroom and started working on that a lot (see the thread in Arcade Misc.) and I'm focussing on getting this done before X-mas

However, after that's done it's back to the SW again of course......

I bought this. The cab is in worse shape than that pic really lets on. I'm looking forward to taking all of the measurments and cutting/making a new star wars. wish the cab was more salvagable, but at least it will help me make a new one.

Level42 · « **Reply #270 on:** January 20, 2008, 04:17:47 pm »

Sorry guys no real update, apart from that I won a complete set of SW PCB's for a very nice price. Untested of course, but I hope to be able to give them a run this week.

However, what I wanted to point you guys to is this:

http://www.atarigames.com/page4/files/page4-1007-pop.html

Now is that lovely or what ? Look at how brand new the machines look...and that first guy in the cockpit not using the thumb buttons and hardly up-down

Could that guy with the beard explaining about the hardware be Jed Margolin ? He's saying stereo speakers, not the entire truth but OK....

Can't be half as bad as the one I bought... looked pretty good in the pics, I rented a truck and drove 90 minutes to get it... and the back was literally crumbling in my hands trying to move it. I had to improvise bracing in the cab so that it wouldn't fall apart lying on its back.

atarigames · « **Reply #272 on:** January 22, 2008, 08:12:35 pm »

No, that is not Jed Margolin. It's possibly Norm Avellar, but I am 100% certain it's not JED.

For those interested: I scanned the cardboard bezel. This version is ONLY used in the cockpit.

I sent the files to Zorg who promised to stitch them together and make a good file of it.....

Did you ever get a stitched together usable image? or did i miss the its finished post somewhere?

Level42 · « **Reply #274 on:** January 23, 2008, 08:48:10 am »

Zorg was taking care of that. I also sent him the Puckman side art files, but I guess he's pretty busy, haven't heard from him in a while.....Zorg ?

He's working on the Xevious bezel. Step in line ---smurfette---! JK!

Hey, what's more important. Star Wars Cockpit cardboard bezel thingy or Xevious bezel ?

(I'll just fill a line of

's here, because maybe someone could actually think I was serious here)

rovingmind · « **Reply #277 on:** January 23, 2008, 04:44:07 pm »

ok thanks, i was just wondering how it was going.

Level42 · « **Reply #278 on:** January 25, 2008, 03:44:47 pm »

OK guess. You know, I was thinking.....what is so special about SW that I like it so much ?
Wouldn't it be much cooler to have a bit more modern racing sit-down ?
I also had some, let's say 2nd thoughts about this whole yoke ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- elsewhere on this forum, so I thought what the hell !

So I removed all the inner parts of the SW cockpit, smashed the Amplifone, melted the yoke and got the black paint out. Found a cheap steering wheel and, well this is the result. I guess you'all agree this is much better now:
