GPSS - Gunner Position Simulator System

Hey guys,

I just got this tool used in former Czechoslovakia for training of BMP-1/2 crew gunners. Original electronics were useless so i made my own, really simple and made it work with Arma 2 and of course Arma 3 too (demo mission is in Arma 2).

(display shows instructions during initial calibration)

The handles are exactly the same like in BMPs so the "feel" is pretty cool :cool:

Handles can be turned in both axis, the more you tilt them the faster turrets turn around in x axis, same with y axis.

Weapons can be fired by pushing top button on right handle and toggle weapons with button on left one.

I just made simple mission where you can choose vehicle to ride and then little raid on village starts.

My problem no 1 now is that in reality top button on the right handle is used to fire cannon and the one on the left handle is used to fire auxillary machine gun. Target is to make separate buttons fire each weapon without the need of toggling between weapons. I will appreciate every suggestion for solution.

TODO:

Give to the whole device better look.

Driver position for BMP

Driver position for T-72

Short video here, will come in better quality soon cuz i cant handle this recording and shooting multitasking :D

That's bloody awesome!
