Crusty Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Here are some pictures from the AFV Sim stand at last week's ITEC, we had a very good show, it was a good opportunity to meet up with existing customers and hopefully make some new ones. it was also good to meet up with old friends from eSim and the forums (Irish Hussar, Grenny, Hedgehog) and to meet and put faces to some new ones (charlieB) First the company staff shot. A general view of the stand layout, three computers, two running SB Pro and one running VBS. Leopard 2A5 Gunners control handles. Leopard 2 Commanders control handle. Leopard 1A5 Gunners control handle. Nils proving he's still got it, (also checking out the opposition) In the cabinet were Gunners controls for BMP2, T72, and Challenger 2, also a Challenger 2 Gunners control panel. Our Russian set, BMP2 and T72 Gunners control handles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 I forgot to mention, our stand was opposite the eSim stand, they had a rather nice toy, I have some pictures of it but I won't steal their thunder, I'm sure you'll see it when they post their report on the forums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BMP-2 handles were for a military customer. We're developing the T-72 handles as in 'in house' project and are currently looking for customers..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set my self a goal to save and purchase a BMP-2 gunners controller (can you PM me a price.) Giving it some thought today, From what I have heard there not cheap but what the hell I don't treat my self very often. Have to save for it and a new wide screen hi res monitor.

TankHunter Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 If I happen to win to lotto or if some super rich uncle that I don't know about dies, I'm definitely getting the T-72 and BMP handles off you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could quite easily fit in my garage, should it ever go missing Hedge and I had a try on the hospitality evening it was good fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted May 29, 2016 Members Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well, it wouldn't have cost them an arm and a leg to just add a hollow pipe with some foam coating to actually grab while your left thumb operates the integrator button. I don't really understand why you would skip on such an item that is important in the ergonomics, which would be totally expected by the crews, particularly if it is a rather cheap part that neither is complicated to produce nor expensive as far as the components are concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if they pay $XXXXXX to integrate 6 DOF, then they'll add the piece of padded water pipe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
