Some pointers from you experienced builders requested
Hi guys
Well, if everything goes as planned, I will be needing to have some of the following questions figured out over the next week as I get ready to build the MIP Stand and start bringing components together.
Ive always noticed that a large majority of builders place their pc's up front in the nose area behind the MIP. I plan to do this with the clients, but I intend to keep the FS Server/Instructor PC behind the pilot's seat at the instructor's station. This leads to some important issues:
a) Should I have all my interfacing cards connected to the server or the client(s)?
b) If the Interfacing cards are connected to the Server (which they are now- no problems) should I mount the cards nearest to their service area and use longer USB cables or mount them close to the PC they are connected to and use shorter USBs with longer wire harnesses to the service area?
I suspect that since the max recommended length is 16', then placing the components as close to their service area and using shorter wire is the best solution?
