Take Your Seats! Building an Inexpensive J-Rail Alternative
As I’m putting my sim back together I decided it’s time to permanently mount my Weber pilot seats. I decided J-Rails were a bit too pricey/complex for me right now so I found a less expensive, yet innovative way to make something similar. The Seats I was given a set of old Boeing 747 Weber …

I’ll be building a base v2.0 out of metal in the not-too-distant future and it will be designed for real …

Rivets and Sore Thumbs
I am nearing completion of my plywood cockpit floor/base (sort of, more on that later). I had the brilliant idea that I wanted to make my cockpit floor look real by adding simulated rivets, helping increase the overall immersion. Sounds great, right? Well, I knew it would be a big task, and it was, but …
