So Hi first of all.
I'm from Germany and have been getting into FlightSims and stuff. I'm quite a newbie but sofar I'm using FSX:SE and getting along ok with a Logitech Joystick (pretty ****).
Since birth I've been fascinated by controling big things with loads of knobs and buttons.
And so I've been seeing a cockpit as the perfect thing to work on and to enjoy.
The problem I've got is that my electrical skills are pretty down to 0 but of course nowadays You can learn pretty much everything using the web so I can learn more and more.
My bigger problems are finding ressources or tools to build with and my low budget.
I own a workshed which is specialised for wood work only unfortunatly. But at least that could make a good frame.
So I'd appreciate any help with parts especially tutorial on how to process metal or acrylic into panels.
Now my only big question left is what cockpit to actually build.
I think a 737 would overwhelm me so a bombardier would maybe suit me better.
If you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them.
Thanks in advance
Ed
