A few years ago,when news broke that a flyable Wimpey was going to be created,I got creative and built myself a bomber's flight console,partly based on the Wellington's flight console.
Now that we finally have the Wellington in all it's flyable glory,I have dug out my console,and after binding all the Wellington's controls here she is......she work's a treat,he says modestly.The first picture is obviously my effort,the second picture shows two of the real thing,the third,shows where it was sited on the Wellington (Taken from the restoration Wimpey at Cosford,UK)and finally the forth shows what controls I have bound to it so far.
I purchased the Saitek Throttle Quadrants when they were at a sensible price £25 each,these days the damn things are close to £100 each,madness.....they're only made of plastic,and unpainted they look really cheap and nasty.
It's great finally being able to put this badboy to use,and helps make engine management very simple and straight forward.....opening the bomb bay doors really gives a great sense of immersion too.
