    Hey Bee, this is exactly what I have been planning to build myself. I absolutely love this game. I do have the throttle and flight stick. A few years ago, I built a really powerful flight simulator computer that I'm going to use for this.
    I am waiting to get back into the shop to build the cabinet.
    Anyway, great job, brother. I absolutely love it.

    Vinyl and plastic coating for automotive interiors. You can use it on any plastic, it won't scratcher come off. Wears really well. If you decide to redo the seat, that's what you want.

    Nice job Bee! Really came out spectacular. Amazing group effort from everyone that made the pieces, and kudos to you for figuring out how it all would mount and fit together. You're making me anxious to finish my SW Trilogy so I can showcase it. Too many projects on the table at the moment but I will get it done. Anyway, enjoy the new cab and have fun playing a closer replica to the arcade Battle Pod!

    You got me with this one-That Battle Pod is tight!. I just bought the PC on your list and the Logitech X-56 HOTAS. I used your affiliate links so you could buy yourself a cup of coffee. All I have done so far is a Pandora DX on a Partycade This will be my first time setting up a PC build. I figured I would get it working on a TV at home before investing in the rest. When I choke and buy the cab over at Buy Stuff I'd love to get those 3D Files. I have a Bambu P1S printer here at home. Thanks for the video (and sending me down a rabbit hole which I'm sure will consume a ton of my time- 🙂). That build is fire!

    • @JohnYakubik1
      @JohnYakubik1 7 місяців тому

      I have Battle Pod up and running on the PC with the Hotas. Thanks for the full screen patch. Just got Captain for the first time on the Vader mission. I've built it on one side of our dining room table and my wife wants it out of her dining room :-)
      I am considering buying the racing cab from Buy Stuff. I was watching the video and noticed you don't have the shifter set up for the G29. There isn't room on the shelf with the Hotas. Think the shifter could be mounted next to the seat somehow? It would even be more authentic then. My understanding of the G29 clutch pedal is that it's useless without the shifter.

  • @supermetalgamerman5930
    @supermetalgamerman5930 7 місяців тому

    I love how the set up looks in the background while your streaming with the battlepods attract. I thought the marquee / back piece was purchased somewhere
    But to see how much effort was put into making that happen is amazing .
    Love how you even put the accents on the g29 to match .
    Does the Hotus light up blue like that or am I seeing a reflection. ?
    I have the cheaper version . It’s good for the price but you can tell it’s not as high end and buttons get stuck a bit

    • @KongsRUs

      I can confirm my Outrun mod.... with Battlepod teknoparrot installed... runs very nice at 30fps 1080p (max) on a cheap GT 1030 card with a basic off-lease Dell Optiplex. This would be the bare minimum starting point. It does not hiccup at all. Don't go any lower power video card. A 1660 is MASSIVELY faster card, so you are way good to go.
