Check out my new shifter..

I'm too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns.

 

What was/is it?

 

It was my old joystick from the 90's. I turned it into a weighted shift knob. Should have wired up the buttons to do shit though.

 

Convenient place for a horn if you are one of those drivers who always keeps a hand on the shifter

 

Agreed. While it's not a shift knob I would ever use, having the buttons functional would increase the "cool" factor exponentially.

 

You could hook up the buttons to a sound board that makes radar lock, machine gun, and missile sounds.

 

^ Don't tempt me! I have the matching throttle as well!

 

Because of our fly-by-wire throttle, this would probably be a relatively easy modification. Hell of a lot easier to run a couple of wires instead of a throttle cable.
