A little introduction…

Salutations! I’m John, call-sign: Guppy. I’m not a real fighter pilot, though like many of you, I like to throw on a flight suit and run around the house to Danger Zone (maybe that’s just me). Instead I find myself in quite an elaborate “simpit” chair-forcing the hell out of the digital skies. I’ve been … Continue reading A little introduction… →

Out of Control

Enjoy!

Core Changes

This is still a work in progress, so expect additional updates as I get further along - I'm working through 5 changes. Most of these changes are to more accurately depict a hornet, but there is some artistict quality and desire to make it available for any jet...enjoy! Because of the WinWing Throttle (which is … Continue reading Core Changes →

Some Updates!

Hey all - it has been quite some time since I've posted. I just wanted to share a couple of things that I have started to work on.

Intro to IKARUS

Hey! Sorry for the delay in posting. I have been extremely busy working on my second version of my pit, have recently been promoted at work and have had limited time to update the blog with content.

I apparently ripped the monitor ribbon... whoops. I am waiting on a new one from China. I also broke the L/R DDIs because … Continue reading V.II Progress – What did I get myself into?! →

Getting Closer to Fabrication

V.2 is getting pretty close to being created. I'm finalizing just a few measurements and already have requests for quotes! Enjoy these new renders!

Working on V.II

Hey all - I've been on another little hiatus, as of late. One of the reasons why is I've been working on a new version of my SimPit. This new version will have many features that the original one did not and improve existing features. I've learned a lot since making the original and having … Continue reading Working on V.II →

Configuring Screens and Pulling Data from DCS

Hello there! It has been awhile since my last post. I've been super busy in my personal/professional life and have not had much time for DCS or updating this blog. My apologies for that. I've been working on this post for quite some time. As you get through it you'll see why. It's long, complicated … Continue reading Configuring Screens and Pulling Data from DCS →

Some glam shots

I figured I'd give you all a few pics of the SimPit. I'm working on some additional content that I'll post later this week. In the meantime... Enjoy!Guppy, out!
