After taking a look at those pictures I have to ask a couple of things.. First off, won't the controls that are facing you get in the way while you are playing? For example, say you have the yokes available for play. Won't the steering wheels get in the way, or at least be a bit irritating being between you and the controls you are using? Also, how are you going to manage to hook that many inputs up? I can see more than 70 digital (on/off, I only counted buttons and normal joysticks) and 5 analog (correct me if I'm wrong, but three wheels, one yoke) inputs needed (not counting trackballs). How are you going to wire all of this up? Are you using a custom designed encoder or piggybacking a couple of KE72s? I'd be interested in hearing how you are going to hook all of this up after it's built...
