that would be awesome for me to use X-Plane 9 in as well as evochron.

I didn't actually make plans, it was all on the fly! Lol, I can give you rough sketches and materials, but no concrete set of plans, sorry. I am actually gearing up to dismantle and re-work the entire cockpit to a more WWII style pit, much tighter and compact. I am going to use plans for this design and will share. As far as the arcade, it is a replica of an Operation Thunderbolt cab, I can find the plans if you need.

I just notice it doesn't look like it vents air that well. Does it get hot in there when you use it

Yeah the back area where the plasma is, and under the screen where the PC is, there are dual vent fans and exhaust which forces most warm air from the PC and the screen out of the cockpit, as well as interior fans that you can't see. I am actually in the process of dismantling this one and building a new cockpit, which will be much more advanced.

Ya, I build real planes time to time and the biggest problem with them is most of the stuff that is put in the ship is to keep the human alive and keep the air at the right temp. So when you build your new cockpit you should keep that in mind.
You should post videos and stuff as your building your new one.
