Hi all,
I'm Dave, an engineer who is getting into flight sims. As I am a programmer, mainly inndustrial PLC's and Microchip chips (brilliant devices) I am going to build in the future a 737 cockpit in my spare room! Anyone tried it yet? I will be making all my own instruments and puting the programming skills to use.

Feel free to contact me, guidelines needed !

Regards to all:p

Hi Dave,
Welcome to Mycockpit.

Yep, currently building in the "spare room", as long as I can keep claims on it 8)

Cheers
Mike

I think most of us here are building flight simulators ;) It's worse than swine flu the way the urge to simbuild goes when you join this site LOL :p

Please keep us updated on your build and nice to have you with us.:)

Hi Dave, welcome. Very ambitious to build all the instruments yourself. Besides the spare room you must have a lot of spare time :D

Keep us posted!

hi dave.......and welcome
building in the spare room eh! i remember somewhere in my dark past doing that.
it then progresses to the den because the spare room is too small and before you know it,
half the garage is un-useable.
still it keeps you out of pubs and supermarkets......
enjoy your project mate and please do keep us updated.....
