F-15C Strike Eagle Simulator Cockpit Project Site
Hi all.
I just came across this AMAZING website documenting Gene Buckle's efforts at creating an F-15C Strike Eagle simulator......... by using the cockpit and many parts from an actual crashed aircraft :o :o :o. He even has photos on the site of the actual crash of that exact aircraft at an airshow!
It is at the http://www.f15sim.com address.
The whole F-15C project is beautifully documented in extreme detail... has lots of photos..... and has lots of stuff that can be related to anyone making an effort at a simulated cockpit....at any level of desired realism and budget. The complexity of the REAL aircraft is very interesting to see. The restoration is being done in "loving detail".
This obviously is a HIGH BUDGET operation. But it is fun to read. Enjoy ;).
best,
