This is the principal part of the simulator. It will hold the
center console,
the
glare shield as well as the
ACES-II.
As this part is supposed to be very stable, I made it of 17,5mm plywood, which makes it quite robust. I
recommend to build the casing this way, as it might be possible that some friend with some overweight wants to
get into the simulator and supports all his weight on the sides of the simulator-casing (I had that
experience already). I am glad to tell you, that the construction took all the stress without any harm!

In order to make it easier to imagine the shell, here some pictures about the "internal life". You can see the
positioning of the speakers as of the rudder pedals.
