You know, I think that may be perfect!! Thanks Tailgunner!!. I'm going to make up a Cad design for it tonight. This design will allow me the option to make modular control panels for a 360', 270' and a Flight Yoke. I'll have to document everything and post it on this site as a project when the time for building comes. The nice part about this cab is that I can build and complete it in the workshop and then transport it into the basement without any trouble. This is too cool!!
Thanks
Charlie

There's this option as well:

Looks expensive, but it might give you some ideas.

I'd go for this type of cab - they are actually very comfortable to play, probably more so than many classic sit-downs...
hyiu:
actually... I'm also thinking about a sit down cab...
(ok.. only thinking....)
for a sit down cab.. I really want to have a real seat... like a real car seat....
but the whole thing needs to be able to separate into like 3-4 big parts... so that it can be moved.... (from garage to indoor... )
a sit down cab in 1 piece definitely can't fit thru a normal like 27 in door...
I'm thinking...
the base is 1 piece....
the car seat will be mounted on tracks on the base...
(since its real seat.. it'll be adjustable and is comfortable..)
and then the front piece holding the tv and the console/pc will be 1 piece....
(maybe the stick shifter by itself... 1 piece on the side...)
and somehow they interlock....
it'll definitely be kinda big.... but for a sit down cab... you simply just can't be cheapy and make those half stand half sit cab....
(well.... I guess when wife says no or simply space does not allow... that's another problem...)
sorry.... I typed sooo much but seems like no point... I guess I should stop now.... :P :P

hyiu, you'll wanna take a look at -->THIS<--. It's exactly the idea you're thinking of, right down to the actual automotive seat.
GameCab, this might work for your purposes as well! Seems as if he just fashioned a desk over the leg area, whereas you'd do the same thing, but with the screen in place of the monitor. Dunno if you're looking to build a seat too, though.
