Hello to everybody,im new to the site just been reading through several topics and what a wealth of information and some very smart individuals indeed.
My intention is to build a simpit of a Vickers Viscount, ive managed to rescue a REDIFON Vickers Viscount simulator (well most of it anyway) and intend to interface it via FSX. Will get some photos posted as soon as possible as currently restoring the throttle quadrant,so bare with me:roll:

Hi

I’m new to the forum myself and at the moment just surfing around learning as much as possible before I start asking some daft questions.

I don’t believe I have come across a Viscount simpit before and will be following your future posts with interest. Have you any more photographs to share?

Just catching up on the forum and was wondering how you are planning to drive your instruments?

Maybe you can post up you thoughts over on the ‘General Builder Questions All Aircraft Types’ section.

Hi Rockeyes,sorry no reply's recently as been trying to sus' out a opencockpits card for servos,having a bit of trouble at the moment with getting the computer to recognise it,it seems to be intermittant and changes device number constantly plus trying to get my head round this SIOC and get the servos running with FSUIPC.
