    New cockpitbuilder (the cheapest and the laziest)

    Hi everybody,

    I'm trying to make my own 737 NG cockpit and till now I spend about 15 euros and 4 hours time.
    Offcourse I allready had an VR Insight MCP Combo I (100 euros second hand) and a old Acer Laptop and last but not least a MSI GT70 OD. But I think the result up till now is pretty nice.

    Just finished :

    - Yawdamper and Flapindicator gauge
    - Clockbevel
    - Painted the screws

    Ready to play and see what I can think of for the future.

    I saw a very nice throttle quadrant for about 600 euros. Let's start saving money.
