Building ground control

[VITAS]

Work in progress of my ground control station.

Dang I wish I had this kind space laying around to build a whole control suite with.

Also - a DeWalt user, I see.

younger me would have loved to have what i have now. i had to decided against a model railway.
dewalt, makita, bosch and metabo so ive all my bases covered

 

[Kiwi Shark]

Model railway! I have some real old school Lionel stuff (engines, track, etc.) packed away that I've said for years maybe one day I'll set up again.

 

[VITAS]

the older you get the more packed away "one day" projects you have.
the more important it is do do something now that excites you.

nice playing some gigs while on you way to mars.... or whereever

 

[VITAS]

The controler sendes well documented midi commands that you can (with the aid of a software) turn into HID commands. So you can use this to trigger macros in game. (even the lights and displays can be controlled by midi)

not familar with all the tecnical aconyms but sounds awenseome. so youe using your DJ console to contol ksa

 

[VITAS]

I can scratch my rocket trough space.
i used it for ksp in the past.

for the moment im busy with running tons of cables behind the screens.

 

[Spaceman3d]

Scratch a ROcket trogh Space lol. biut that sonds amazing. rapid engine pulsing during landing burn scratching the landing

 

[VITAS]

Could be a challange: come up with and document the craziest way to control your rocket in KSA. e.g. motion capture expressive dancing to a landing, suecide burn wiht a light gun....

Every true "most ridiculous" way to control a game must include the official Donkey Kong bongos:

 

[VITAS]

so thats a task for you then.
