:: Belgium Roadtrip :: Quest for SEGA G-Loc Deluxe ::
« on: November 17, 2007, 09:21:28 AM »
It's sunday... just a perfect day for a new roadtrip  8)

For this new game, my car needs to be in the '3 guys' set up  ;D :arrow:



Usual & official drinks ...



THis time, it'll be a small trip... only 150km to drive... and I'm staying in my country :P  :arrow:



9° C ... ok for today ... two days ago, it was snowing in Belgium  :'(



For my archives : 45506 km before departure  :arrow:



First, I've to pick up the team members  :arrow:

- Burt (my wingman in the epic Galaxian3 Theater story)
- Sam "Galaxian3 Theater & Pole Position parts keeper"

 ;D :-* ;D

Yes, this time I need help because the new toy weighs 310 kg  :ghost:

I'm aslo need a trailer bigger than usual... Thanks Pat  :P ;)



Here we go... rain... rain ... rain  :ghost:



On location ... G-Loc Deluxe  :P :P :P ... miam  :pac: :ghost:



Let's load that monster on the trailer just here, in the garage... hopefully, we are five of us for doing it  8)



Ok, the 'simulator' is on the trailer now... but... the game on the trailer is ... maybe to high for passing the garage's door...  :roll:



Let's try to get out of here... slowly ...



...mmmmhhh...  :-\



No, it won't get out  :evil: We have to remove the top of the cockpit  :arrow:





Great ! It's ok now...  ;D



Without the cockpit, that G-Loc looks like ... a Thunder Blade  :lol:



Let's quickly put back the cockpit before the rain.  :pac: :ghost:







Really beautiful cockpit isn't it ?  :-*




Reving up your engine
Listen to her howling roar
Metal under tension
Begging you to touch and go

Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
...


Here's Tom Cruise ???



Ok, he's here  ;D  :arrow:



It really look like a true cockpit  8)



Ok, now let's protect all the game against the upcoming & inevitable rain  :-\  :arrow:



Like this, it should be enough  :lol: :arrow:



It looks fine until now  :)  :arrow:



In the middle of the way to go home, we stop to do a quick check :



The cockpit moves... because of the right hydrolic piston who doesn't lock the cockpit/seat ?!  But it's not a problem ... just a little bit scary to see ::) ;D



Because I've no more room to keep the new games at home, I'll put this new toy in the Pat's house  :roll: :roll: :roll:  :P



He discovers the 'monster'  ::) :P



Let's unload the game...



...with a great tool  :lol: :arrow:



...very easy ...



And here's the beast 'on location'  ;D



A last thing to do : removing the coins box  :arrow:



The game is now in a safe place... I won't be able to work on it these coming month... I must finish the new gameroom first...



Thanks again to : Burt, Sam & Pat for their precious help  :)


For my statistics :






See you after the winter G-Loc  ;D ;D :wink:

You definitely need to put your name on the side of that thing rather than Capt. Fujichan.

Hi Fred  :-*

Nope... unfortunately  :-\ Here's the full story :

The Nuno's Lair v2 is ready for games. The location I've choose for that HUGE G-LOC will be the back of the room, so it's the first game to put before the others ones.

With the help of few colleagues (also called 'The Golimar Team'  :D), it's the D-Day, get ready  :arrow:



The games is in storage since one years on the Pat's garage  :arrow:



(Hey... it reminds me... I also have that APB to bring back, but not today.)

Here's the monster to load  :arrow:



Easy with that tool  8)  :arrow:



Interesting view  ;D :



Before going back, let's have some fun in the Pat's Lair  :)



Scud Race  :-* :-* :-*





Back @ home :



Unloading the cockpit... not easy because it's VERY heavy  :shock:



Now the big thing. As you can see , the cockpit tilts on the left side  :-\

The width of its base is 100 cm BUT because the cockpit in not in its middle position, it's more than 102  :o
And the width of my door is 102 cm... so impossible to enter the cockpit like that  :ghost:
According the seller of the game, the cockpit goes in the middle position time to time. So I'll plug the game here, outside, and cross the fingers ... you can see the result of several power off/on in the previous youtube video.

No luck this time. The game starts but not the hydraulic part. The cockpit is still in that 'bad' position... on the left  :ghost:
So we tried to push manually the cockpit in order to bring it back on its middle position, but it doesn't move at all !!!
Ok, no more choice ... we have to disassemble it here  :evil: Let's go  :arrow:







The main cockpit part is now removed...



..but it still too large...because of the monitor bezel/HP :



Let's remove it :



ArgHHH... still to large, because of the seat now  :evil: :evil: :evil:  :arrow:



It should be fine now  :arrow:



Yes...it's ok now. Maximum protection for the new carpet of course  :arrow:



The G-Loc is now inside the V2  :)

Remember, I had to remove many parts in order to make entering the game into the new game room ?
OK, so it's now the perfect time for a little clean up of the dismantled plastic parts  :



(yes... inside the house  ;D )

In order to clean the cockpit, let's use this 'Cockpit Cleaner'  ;D Logical isn't it ?  :P :)



Let's clean also ...the 'marquee' ?  ::)  :arrow:



...and finally the 'masterpiece'  :arrow:



Ready to fly now !  :spaceace:

Sometime, I'm doing things to fast...

Remember :

"The game starts but not the hydraulic part. The cockpit is still in that 'bad' position... on the left  :ghost:
So we tried to push manually the cockpit in order to bring it back on its middle position, but it doesn't move at all !!!
Ok, no more choice ... we have to disassemble it here  :evil:"


So we spent hours to disassemble it in order to enter it into the V2.

I've just check inside the hydraulic mechanism  :arrow:



... and I turn MANUALLY that pulley (the wheel)...



...and guess what ? it moves the entire cockpit to the left or to the right...why I didn't check that *first*  :oops:

OK, so now... it on the normal/middle position  :arrow:
