Legendary combat sim enthusiast builds frankly dangerous fighter jet rig — features three-axis motion seat, a cannon, afterburners, and a chaff launcher
An air combat sim enthusiast has created an elaborate fighter jet cockpit with a three-axis motion seat, afterburners, chaff launcher, and cannon. The project, shared on Reddit, showcases impressive features but doesn't resemble a real fighter jet. The rig includes an "Energy Management System" for afterburner fuel, pneumatic cannon, rocket pod, and realistic missile evasion effects. Suggestions for enhancing the experience include using VR or AR headsets, improving display placement, and enhancing control panels. Safety concerns arise due to flames emitted by the system, prompting the need for precautions.
