Hi all,
I am new to the forum and also new to SIM building. I am a qualified commercial pilot with a fair amount of flying experience and would now like to look at building my own SIM. I have been amassing bits over time and have got a set of simkit instruments ( the main 6 pack) plus some gauges, a flap switch, a trimmer control, an AP2000 (I think) avionics stack and a couple of other bits and pieces. I have got the main instruments working and my controller board has 38 interfaces so can be extended.
I am not overly happy with the AP2000 as it still needs the separate display to be shown and I would like, if possible to use a separate monitor for the NAV instruments - is this possible?
I have a couple of throttle quadrants plus the CH Yoke.
What suggestions do you guys have in terms of how best to start outing this together into a SIM?
I thought about using a couple of old PC cases as the material for building the panels to hold the gauges - is this common?
Thanks
D
