After almost a year of having my alpha home cockpit sitting in the garage and taking on dust, I am happy to say that I am getting mack in the groove of things! During the past year, I bought a new home, moved and as such, my little B737-800NG project had been put on a holding pattern.
Today, I got tired of seeing it just sit there idling in a corner of the garage, mostly in part due to economics and also to lack of space to build it in, and convinced my wife that the garage was a great place for me to entertain myself with my free time and this project... She concurred! LOL
With this being said, I am EXTREMELY rusty, so please bear with me with my barrage of questions as I get back on track.
Speaking of which... What is still the best OS to use? Last year, I was using XP on all computers but I guess Windows 7 has really matured and I was wondering if it's viable to use Windows 7 now for all our home cockpit computers.
My build is using SimAvionics and so far I have a network comprised of 4 PCs, for the main FS PC and all avionics (Capt, Server, FO). My MIP is a combination of OpenCockpits hardware and SIOC.
Hope this helps in answering my question... I am attaching a picture of how my build stands so far. Remember, this project has been on hold for 1 year! Be gentle on your comments! hahaha
