Current status

As with all things, there is a season.  Currently my season is pulling me towards other projects.  Specifically lots of home things.

I play a lot of www.mwomercs.com and there's a project I've been working on for a while, a 'mech simulation cockpit' AKA a mechpit.  This is, in effect, a simulation cockpit which allows for the substantial look/feel of a mech cockpit.  Currently I'm working on two aspects of this:

First - to modify my existing simulation pit, bring it up to speed, and get it upstairs.  It's been languishing in my basement for far too long.  I don't want it to be obtrusive though, so it's a fine line between full simulation pit and providing functional, good looking workspace.

Second - along those same veins, I'm making a peripheral which adds a cockpit-style series of switches (also known as a switch panel).  This is going to be for sale in the range of 65-75 dollars USD.  I'm planning a production run of 5 panels.  They will operate as a USB keyboard and configurable for most games.   Their core will be a teensyUSB, something I'm familiar enough with.


re: FPSC Reloaded.  I needed a break.  But definitely check out 1.00090 and all the changes it's brought - along with BSP's new tree/forest pack. It's positively incredible.
