Hello All,
Since I am looking on these forums for quite some time now, I thought it was time to introduce myself.
My name is William and I am based in the Netherlands. I am not new to flight simulator, my first sim was FS3 and to be quite honest, I had every version since then :smile:
I wanted to start building for quite a few years now. After the last FS weekend in Lelystad I could not wait any longer. So, I have finally started planning my own GA cockpit. I will be building a Mooney (M20) cockpit. All the switches, LED’s and buttons are already in my possession and let me tell you, I did not foresee how happy that makes me :smile:… I also have the annunciator legends laser engraved which looks stunning!
I will be projecting the “main six” first with PM (due to costs) and the navigation & radio instruments will be coming from Flight illusion I will also use the I/O board for interfacing. I have to find a solution for the GPS system, but have seen some nice alternatives here on the forum. I am now working on the main panel(MIP), and after trying to do this with Plexiglas / hobby glass (which did not work) I have decided to go for 4 -5 mm MDF. Easier and better to work with. I will post some screenshots of the progress soon :smile:
Well, just so you all know, that is my story in a “nutt shell”. I will be around from now on, great solutions here.
Good luck to all builders here, and we’ll speak soon!
William.
