Good evening all,
Well, I have not posted on here for years! I doubt I made much of a splash in 2010 either but I was an A320/330 driver and I scratch built a fairly shoddy thing in my tiny house. Several years, an engagement and house move later, I find myself with space and budget to begin Cockpit Mark 3! Which is very exciting to me, to say the least. Since I am a little out of touch I am wondering what Airbus to use for this. I will probably use FSX but Xplane 11 is out next month and I intend to get that too for testing purposes. Open to suggestions on either system.
In my original setup I used the Wilco Airbus which seemed to be the only contender at the time. Not to say it was good though... I have flown the excellent Aerosoft X but the screens are not undockable so I cannot interface it. Unless - there is another way to get the screens undocked or generated? Please don't tell me that I am going to end up back in a Wilco Airbus! Surely there is a better option out there??
I don't have any construction under way yet (probably early summer) and I am still in the research phase for this improved cockpit. I'm planning to use Bodnar boards, Mobiflight for outputs (that looks excellent) and prefer to make my own panels. Working on plans to make them much better than last time. If Mark from Almost Aviation is on here, your series on YouTube has been a real boost and inspiration.
Thank you all for your time. CAVOK to you all!
