Hello everybody,
I just thought that I would introduce myself and get some tips from the pros.
I'm Seth from Lexington, KY. I am currently a Beechjet 400A pilot for a private owner out of KLEX and absolutely love my job. I have been an avid flight simmer since the days of MSFS 4.0 and even when I get back from work (if you can really call it work) I can't wait to fire up my flight sim.
I usually fly the Eaglesoft Beechjet 1.5 under the Virtual Flight Options flag in FSX on vatsim (look me up sometime as OPT404), but I also enjoy flying piston twins like the Baron or Seneca. Just the other day, I sat down at my computer desk and while I was flying, I had a thought, "man wouldn't it be great if I could take these controls off of this computer desk and build something that feels a bit more like a real airplane". And here I am.
My current sim hardware is:
CH Flight Sim Yoke (looking forward to upgrading the the PFC Beech Yoke)
CH rudder pedals
CH Throttle quadrant
VRInsight M-panel
TrackIR
I am happy with my hardware (I do want to upgrade my yoke soon) but I am looking for a way to build something very generic that will place my equipment in more of a realistic setting and work well with most all aircraft.
Any suggestions would be great.
