General questions to get started...
Hello everyone. I recently decided that I wanted to go ahead and build a flight simulator. I have a huge amount of question that I would love some help on before I start to get my ideas onto a piece of paper. Here they are:
1. What are the benefits of hydraulics vs. servos controlled platforms (ie. cheapest, less maintenance, availability, quietest)?
2. How much computer knowledge is needed to build a simulator (is code knowledge needed)?
3. What are the core programs used to run the simulator? I would like to use 2 computers in my setup.
4. Is the OpenCockpit interface a good interface? Is it recommended to go through another company?
These are the base questions that I am curious about. Any help is appreciated.
