always consider all options, just becuase you have the cash saved up may mean you can buy the gear but then realise there is a better one this is one of the main things you need to consider in simbuilding an i getting something that
>looks good
>does the job
>right price
a major money eater is later deciding to sell gear that you bought in a hurry in getting started then selling some at half the price because you decide to change something - this indeed has happened in this forum (not mentioning any names) and that is a hurdle i'm watching out for.
good luck and welcome to our world,

YES!!!! I agree with you Geremy! You need to make sure you do the research to see what will work for YOU and YOUR plans! All our recommendations mean nothing if it will not work how YOU want it to. We can point, but you need to make sure it works as YOU want it to and how YOU plan to use it! Otherwise you waste your money and you get frustrated, none of us want to see that.

Hi Tom. Yes I do get this all the time. The TQ is an early Symularity (?) Works ok. The motors are there for automation but I have not interfaced them yet. My plasmas.... I got them for working on another sim and that is why I "chose" them. My sim space is very limited in the front of the sim. 6 feet and in that is my washer and dryer. So there is no room for anything else. I do not recommend 2 screens this would be ideal for 3 but there again I would not have room for 3 monitors the size I am using (42") nor do I plan to buy a 3rd plasma screen for this use. I am working on other plans. I will say that my out the window view is VERY VERY nice only problem on approach (2 monitor issue) is the runway can be hidden behind the screens frames. This is why I do not recommend 2 monitors. But all in all this setup works pretty good.

The New CP Flight MCP is 100% scale, and the EFIS panels go on either side of the MCP, to control the ND (range, and mode)
The Led64 card allows 64 led's and is easily programmed to connect directly to PMsystems, no other software required. (sweet unit) You will need an interface, so if you go an buy the FDS one, make sure you have some other aux switch inputes to that unit.
Either way, everyone has their own opinion. Good luck and enjoy the hobby.
