Here's my first MAME panel and I need some help...

Not sure where would be the best place to put the flight stick?

What do you think?

Thanks,

Plenty of unused space down by where the coin door would go!

Most people want it on the right hand side of the cab and tucked away a bit since the flight sticks aren't used quite as much. Can you relocate the P1/P2 and adming buttons in the top right to the top left? That would leave space for the flight stick top right. Out of curiosity, why 12 buttons per joystick?

And do I see 6 spinners?

Just enlarge your control panel another 36 inches on each side - then you can get more buttons and a flight stick.

I would also put three more trackballs...

Why settle for one flight stick when you can put in four at quadruple the price?

A n00b with a sense of humor. I like it.

6 spinners would cost $450

Not if you built them out of hard drives. Remember... this is BYOAC!

Love the CP, BTW.

Forget the rotating CP I was working on, this one has it all!

Pretty good layout, but don't you think it is a bit cruel to make P3 and P4 sit on the ground below P1 & P2 to reach their controls AND have to use buttons to control direction? I mean, at least give them a joystick for crying out loud!

Hey, you could call this one "Twister-cade".

Chris,

Brent's a vet over at KLOV...

What this CP REALLY needs is a SW yoke in the middle!

Two of them for dual racing games!
And don't forget the brake pedal at the bottom.

Just so you know, that picture is photoshopped.

Photochop it in right in front of the Operation Wolf gun.

No T2 guns?

What about drink holders?

Brent, are you serious with this panel?

It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I thought this was related to the gay marriage thread, but luckily it isn't.

I get to chuckle every day when I check this thread
