I have to say that I'm as intrigued by construction of a simpit as playing MWO.
My question to the group is, where are you finding some of these materials? Specifically the metals. I see Loc Nar working with aluminum spheres and c-channel in sizes that I've never seen at a store.

Also how are you working the toggle switches? Are you using a breadboard to create your own USB input?

Lastly, I found this and wanted to share it. A company in the Netherlands makes 180' (and larger) view projection screens for simpits. There likely is a company in the US and Asia that make similar. Icarus 180 Avenger

For switches I used the teensy usb and simply connected it up to each of the connectors on the teensy usb, wrote a simple script for button presses, etc. Toggle switches I never worked with but I imagine there's a simple answer using a similar solution.

That screen looks awesome.
Good luck on your pit :)
