The simpit was designed to be used primarily with Star Citizen, however, it was also designed to be used for Flight Sims and to play any regular games thanks to an array of retractable accessories on piston mounts. Streaming | https://www.twitch.tv/jaguarmg YouTube | https://youtube.com/afterimageflight Most of the hardware was built from scratch, excepting any retail items such as sticks, etc. Simpit Integrated Displays 3 Displays on the main dash 1 Heads Down main display 2 MFD displays coupled with Thrustmaster MFD Cougar controls All integrated displays can make use of or be the target of projected scenes with plugins/custom interface elements, other players points of view, or to manage and run other programs. MFDs can control other programs without the need to Alt-tab between windows via hotkeys. Custom configurable interface elements on a per game basis can be run on each display. Holographic Display / Targeting Computer Uses a 'peppers ghost' type hologram to display a transparent overlay in real time of a gunner or another players point of view. This does not block the main display thanks to the hologram being transparent. This can be either done locally, or with extreme low latency streaming. It can also act as a 4th auxilary monitor. It is on an articulated piston arm, allowing it to be moved to anywhere needed. Integrated Simpit controls There are literally over 200 inputs across the inside of the simpit, all capable of delivering some form of USB input; either button/switch/HAT, or analog. All buttons/switches/dials etc. are functional, able to send USB joystick input to the PC which can be bound in games. All panels attach magnetically and can be replaced for different styles, or a change in the location of the controls. Arduino Megas are used to send USB input to the PC, but they also manage controller states and can update the simpit indicator lights to match what happens in game: Responsive Landing System Landing gear indicator lights that match in game state, including automated landing. Autopilot Panel Acts as a button box, or an autopilot toggle for more serious flight sims. Has the ability to be programed on the fly without sending input. Articulated Accessories Keyboard, mouse, and G13 gamepad trays allow what conventional controls you need to be moved into reach to convenient locations, or stowed away quickly. HOSASAMFOP Right Stick - Virpil Constellation Alpha Left Stick - Virpil Constellation Delta with Omnidirectional Throttle mod (A modification to the mounting of the left stick, using a custom angled adapter for the Virpil/Warthog style threads. This aligns the twist axis to an up/down direction to match the coresponding strafe) MFG Crosswind pedals Wireless TrackIR sensor, attached to a wireless headset for full freedom. Computer Requirements A standard desktop machine can be connected to the chasis, and due to a custom modular connection, can be powered on via power buttons on the simpit, rather than the PC. All components can be removed without soldering/desoldering. Chasis cabinet containing the PC hardware, and the simpit hardware is vented by mesh panels and 4 200mm fans.
