Today most parts of the shell have been dismantled and transported to the garage. Only the OVH and its supports are still present. The next step will be to cleanup the remainder of the cockpit from “stuff” that has been…
The teardown has started

Windows 10 bye bye
The problems between Windows 10 and Input Director cannot be solved by me, it needs an update from the manufacturer to make it compatible with the Creators Update. Ik have looked for alternatives but the were or not free, or…
