Custom controller for FL - Apache600 - 07-17-2012
Hey Guys, just finished the second prototype.
Couldn't be happier with how it's performing too.
I'm a big fan of being able to "steer" the spaceship while in turret mode (steering by turning left and right, and pitching up and down, instead of just strafing)
Here's 4 pictures of the latest and greatest. I updated the first page as well, to include pictures of both completed panels.

We need more geniuses like you around here.
+9000 respect.
Really.
We need to find your clone, who'se good at programming instead of hands on things like that.
So we can get the source code.
And do some graphics. And Cap fixes.
oh the glory of what we can do with great minds...

Hello all,
It's been a while since I've been able to get any updates on my newest works. Been busy with work and the home life. I am proud to say though, that I've finished my latest creation. This is by far my best work, and am extremely proud of it.
A board member asked if i could build him something that would work well with capitol ships, and he wanted something that would allow for easy use of firing groups. It took a bit of time to work out the design and details ... and then finally build the thing, but here it is. I tested it the other day, and it works like a champ.
The angled board just behind the joystick is the firing groups panel. I've labeled the firing groups A-F (instead of 1-6). On the right side of the panel, inside the blue box, is how you select the weapon group you want firing with your mouse, and also how you program which weapons fire in which groups.
Hope you guys like this one as much as i do!

Love the idea (And it looks so professional $_$) but the button layout looks like it could use some work.
The little lever with cruise/dock/form/goto looks nice, but I don't think many people actually use formation nowdays.

Wow. This is amazing. Great work.
Now you'll just need a cockpit, suit and space helmet for the ultimate Roleplay sentiment!

Old post, but do you still build those? O.O
