Hello guys! Long time read-only member, I decided to finally say hello!
Although from Spain, I'm living in Switzerland, and building a full size 737-200ish on basement. My goal is to reuse all nice steam gauges from original 737s using xPlane.
I have some pics of my setup on my webpage, www.fransedano.net
Shell is from FDS, and bits & pieces are from ebay mostly. For interfacing all the gauges and controls to xPlane I've made a plugin on xPlane which exports/imports all data using IOCP, and I'm using my own electronics boards, using CANBus to connect them. I have quite a number of them currently working (HSI, Attitude indicator, altimeter, speed indicator..) and working on all the others.
While I love flying, I love even more building electronics circuits, so the cockpit is always in a non-ready to fly state ;)
Thanks to all the community here for the great source of information and support you're always giving - This is amazing!
