Title: Professionel steeringl unit from V-step
Post by: erik on September 22, 2010, 15:11:23: on the V-step web i see a professionel steering system with 2 azimut units.
Where to buy this and what about the price?

I allredy got teh Wilco ship console, and it work perfect with SSE and SS8.
But have no Azimut control.

SEE grafic is working perfect on my PC, XPS from Dell and NVDIA GeForce GTX 280 - 1080x1200

"If you need to ask, you can't afford it".. ;)

Just one of those professional sterring devices is more expensive, than the whole WILCO unit is. As you can see at the screenshots, it is targeted to the NAUTIS system.

You have also been on SMM Bottman ::) but they had some really nice steering units ;D
Maybe this website helps you www.storkfriesland.com (http://www.storkfriesland.com) the RSCU-Mk3 unit costs about 1500â‚¬ each just as a tip. :thumbs:

If you have some contacts, you might can get your hands on a used one that's been replaced. I assume you have to rip the electronics out, to fit your own equipment in to connect it to your computer :)

There are just a very few of those replaced units available all over the world. Maybe there is a somewhat bigger chance to get discarded ones from an old series or from an exhibition. If you have the needed connections! :thumbs:

Post by: Ballast on September 22, 2010, 23:56:32: I'm sure RadioHolland, Sperry or Sam Electronics would renew some old models or flawed units a few times per year. They might be worthless for them, but of great value for someone who wants to make his own SCU :) You just need to know the right person on the right place.

Before the ShipSim era, our rate of turn pilot for steering on the rivers died due to a coffee spill. The whole unit had to be replaced. Never thought of asking if i could have it though, if only you knew everything on forehand.. :doh:

Post by: RMS Gigantic on September 25, 2010, 23:58:21: It's a bit of a fantasy of mine to have a recreated ship wheel and one engine telegraph of the Titanic for use in Ship Sim, though the price would likely be massive, and the practicality would be something to question :doh:

I don't even know where I'd look for the wood and metalworking!
