I think a office almost like this would be neat!  Or almost like a small movie theater!

i've been following the CP-1 Gaming chair build thread and my brain keeps wandering toward borrowing some ideas from that and from the cockpit and combining them into something that i could actually fit in.  But then i think, why not 3 screens, and purchasing elite dangerous.  next thing you know, an entire room is the game cabinet.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Search your feelings, you *know* them to be true!

Don't forget Rockey Rocket's video of controlling it with the yoke!

anybody?  Bueller? Bueller?

After going through and laying it up by hand with a protractor and ruler at 1/8 scale, i plugged dimensions into sketchup to see what lengths i'm coming up with and how far i'm off. 

as close as i can get making sure i've got the angles as close as i can get them for the bezel, control panel area i end up with a main body panel height of only 53 25/64" with a bottom length of 30 25/64. 

Here is the sketchup file if anybody would chime in. 

I'm measuring the inside top cab corner where the canopy attaches as an angle of 87 degrees.  is that correct or should it be a 90 there?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
