Posted October 14, 20159 yr I present my new MOC, MOD Mercedes Arocs SILENT EAGLE Flight Simulator. Model was built for a competition on LUGPol.pl (polish AFOL forum). It is a flight simulator that can sometimes be found in amusement parks or at various air shows. But it is not based on any particular model. The original chassis is extended by a few studs between the axles to accommodate an additional pump in the compressor and gear drive for a second pair of outriggers behind the rear axle. Behind the Arocs cabin I installed servo and Ir to a control model . Everything above the chassis is already my design. It is full motion flight simulation platform with 6 small pneumatic cylinders each individually connected to a switch. The simulator is manually controlled from the cab. It is powered from its own compressor, two small pumps, airtank and PF XL motor. Additionally simulator is equipped with a new narrow long cylinder to open the door. It also has LED imitating projector and white panel acting as a screen. Two independent pneumatic systems are there to support vehicle outriggers does not lose pressure while playing simulator . LEDs are also in front and rear lights and running automatically when motion model. Weight 3.9 kg Length 61 cm Width 17 cm Height 24 cm 2 x PF L motor propulsion 1 x PF servo steering 1 x PF L motor mechanical functions 1 x PF XL motor simulator compressor 3 x PF swiches 4 x PF Led 6 meters of pneumatic hoses Gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=559347 Movie Edited October 16, 20159 yr by Samolot
October 14, 20159 yr Stunning creation and indeed the simulator is the best part. :thumbup: Edited October 14, 20159 yr by VFracingteam
October 16, 20159 yr I'm glad this made it to its own thread. When I first saw it I was gob smacked..then I saw it again and still amazed. The flight sim is unreal. Black really suits the truck. The detail you have manged and the play-ability makes this one of the best mocs I've come across.Awesome work.
October 16, 20159 yr This looks beautiful. The decals and custom colored parts really stand out, and the simulator platform is a clever design as well. Where did you get the trans-yellow tubes?
October 16, 20159 yr HOF!! truly....this is a great build Seconded! Truly unique and complex pneumatic build!

Where did you get the trans-yellow tubes? Hello thanks for all positive feedback. There are no custom colored parts in this build, only pneumatic cylinders are covered with stickers. Trans-yellow tubes are silicone fuel tubes and I bought them in the RC model shop.
