Smallest Cockpit Cab?
« on: June 04, 2014, 10:51:41 am »
I'm considering making a cockpit cab to enjoy
more simulator and driving games w/ surround sound potential,
but my space is somewhat limited.

Wondering what sitdown / cockpit cabs out there
are the smallest?

Missile Command environmental.  A grown man cannot fit inside one, yet collectors covet them.

Totally cool cab!  I'd never even heard of that before, thanks for the reference.

They're apparently OMG LQQK R@RE.  All I know is some large dude was trying to impress me with it, I said I'd like to see him fit inside it, and we moved along to the next item rather abruptly.

Consider just building a sim pod to sit in front of your living room tv.

You could rip off this design that turns into a coffee table:




or if you want it all, check out RyoriNoTetsujin's The Final Stage build:

Neat, but not quite what I'm looking for.
I'd like to have an enclosed cab to help cut out on ambient light
and help w/ the feeling of immersion in the games.

The Missile Command cab environmental looks neat.
Hmmm...  I wonder about changing the orientation of
the pilot so that you're facing the ceiling?  That could be
cool.
