Don't blame you TIOO! I feel spring in the air now so hopefully we'll have some warmer weather for you!
Wow!
Wow! Some really amazing stuff there, love that arcade machine! Looking forward to the end result, happy building!

Thanks for the reply.
Looking forward to the continuation of the build, obviously once it's a tad warmer
Yes CMDR, I do. What would you like to know? As a fellow builder and IT professional I am EXTREMELY interested in what you have done here... will be following (and possibly replicating) your build in it's ENTIRETY.

I love your work! Have you tried Elite with DK2 yet? I will say as a Rift user and fellow IT guy/cockpit builder (youtube ITin513) I began searching the E : D forums to find exactly what you have set out to build. I am adding my two cents here as you can see my head movements with use of the Rift on my Twitch Channel http://twitch.tv/captainoculus so do please consider the headrest "situation" prior to attaching.
In regards to your possible blue prints: TAKE ALL MY MONEY! In all honesty, just the basic measurements would probably be enough for anyone with modest handywork skills. The upholstery portion will likely be my downfall; but I own the tools, am confident in my skills, and will be bringing your build state-side this spring! WOOT!
Totally agree here. Nailing the position of my rudder pedals and HOTAS is 100% clutch. I can "peak" thru the nose cutout of the Rift and see my arm fade into my virtual one.... for those wondering about immersion... it's there man... it's there.

Anything I can help with? maybe throw a few ideas your way if you can give me an outline of what you are trying to accomplish?
Wonderful to hear you are on the way back to building! Ive been waiting to see more from you but I understand your dilemma, the cold darkness that takes over my home half of the year puts me off enormously.
But soon enough, now its getting warmer and daylight stays longer and I can almost start to count down to when its time to go get the bike again!
Take your time mate, were all excited to see your build though

This is a very thorough build. I would suggest that this sort of level of detail is worthy of collating into a buyable pdf document at the very least. The finishing tips alone are priceless. Honestly combined with a section on demistifying the electroncs side of this could provide a manual publication worthy of sitting on any good makers bookshelf.
Why make money selling these things when you could write a book and sell it lots of times? Educational documentation sir, a revenue stream that you are MORE than qualified to take advantage of. I look forward to your future posts with interest.
I can build a custom shed and landscape a garden and weave a bit of chainmaille sir but your head and shoulders above me. That chair is a thing of beauty.

Well, you're going to shame me into action if nothing else! Lots of posts and interest and, to be honest, I'm a little frustrated with my lapse in progress. This will get started again soon - a small matter of a 20th wedding anniversary and some weekend working to tie up first. Plus, my wife wants this complete so I can free up some space in the hall where this is currently sitting.
I did pick up some work on some bits I needed to add to my racing pod so the desire to build seems to be gathering some momentum
Comments, feedback and general interest is very much appreciated!

keep it up please and happy 20th.
Its a bloody good sized project for a man with 3 power tools and a folding workbench You may be struggling a wee bit for the motivation and energy to complete the build, but, its not too terrible a thing to have taken a wee step back from it, when you could have easily just stepped away. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result, whenever that may be. Some things you just can't rush.. well, unless the better half gives you 'that' look and tells you too!
Best regards, and a happy 20th Aniversary
