Pete,

I think I read that somewhere.... :) I too was on this (PM SYSTEMS FOR DUMMIES) Quest.

I had a conversation with Thomas Richer (PMSYSTEMS KING) and was trying to probe him for a what do I do first. I personally have spent hours just trying to edit an existing 737 or airbus overhead. By just trying to move a few switches from one position to another, completely without success.

I can't even seem to change the look of the bitmap. LOL. Anyway Thomas basically just said keep plugging away on it and it will eventually start to work. I asked him how many hours would it take him to build an overhead?

His response was unclear as he stated it starts off with needing to draw out a function map, like a flow chart to see how it all fits, then begin programming. I even told him I didn't want fancy graphics, Just all my switches lined up waiting to be commanded from hardware.

I got no bites :). As more people in the community plug away with PM systems, we will get our How too booklet, I for one am hoping someone learns it so well, For a couple hundred bucks they will build my overhead for me........ But I think I am dreaming :)

Best regards

So... If you realy don't care what it looks like, use the 737. There musy be most of what you need in there?

Except the 737 has only 2 engines, I need 3 :)

So....I have found a really good way to learn how something works is to start playing with it. Copy and paste. If I get a chance I will take a look at the software and see if I can figure out how to add an engine.

LOL, Thats what I have been trying to do. I think my biggest issue, is trying to figure out if the variable names are spacific to a database somewhere, or if the variable names are whatever you want them to be.

Thanks folks for the replys, pm systems appear to be what i will need down the line, just wanted to get some feedback on it.
Im running FSX , and your right the 737 is much better, and i will build on that.

right now im beginning test on some freeware ogs (opencockpits) networked.
When ever i get enough funds i might consider project magenta:).

Thanks........................ROBERT
