Me neither, i'm planning to make something with real controls. I want to make something that you can change and expand as the SS series gets better in the future - Something like Lego  ;)

For someone that decides to buy the SCU, a 100+ euro discount is always nice.

Just throttles is the best solution I think, would never buy that device. Throttles with Logitech G27, OH YEAH! :lol:

I think everyone has given up with the ship console,especially after Mr. Brown's experience.

EDIT: I agree Wilmutt, but with a Driving Force Pro  :thumbs:

Well any wheel capable of turning 900 degrees.

Yeah to be honest I dont find my self using it that much  :-\

Suppose because

A) Ive had enough of ss08  :doh:
B)I only ever use Ocean Star and red eagle! Which the unit doesnt work on, so  :thumbdown:

I don't see why you couldn't use it on the Ocean Star to be honest. I relieved once on a barge that had 2 Schottel propulsion units, they were operated with the same lever like the SCU has.

Yes you can use it MJ but its just I adapted my own special way to manouever the ships before the console unit  :thumbs:   You can navigate with the console unit, but its the tricky bits when the mouse takes over  :thumbs:
