Hello all,
Just introducing myself, new to the site. Been looking over it a few days. quiet impressed with the amount of really well done Sims.
I just have a desk top set up for now, but working on a enclosed flightdeck.
I dont have the funds to buy first class panels or realistic controls.
but im on the right track. :)
I have a joystick and a Ch products TQ thats set up for speed brake, #1 and #2 engines and flaps. I leave the 2nd and 5th axis blank as i dont fly much 4 engine craft.
I dont know if i will ever make a true cockpit based on one type of aircraft.
I live in the Pacific NW and love flying small hops, KSEA, KPDX, KGEG, and alot of the smaller airports around. but once in awhile I get to the urge to fly coast to coast.
So i settled on a twin engine jetliner I then can fly everything form CRJ's to 777 if i needed too.
I run MSX with world of AI packages
just bought a torpedo game projector. hoping that it will be decent to project in a dark room while flying day flights.
Ive built a stand for the throttle quadrant. and working on a MDF cover to cover up the plasticness of it, and make it a bit more realistic.
also will make a side base for the joystick, I.e. AIRbus design.
so basically building my own jetliner. or may a concept cockpit for the next Boeing? ;)
I look forward to all the Ideas that i will get off this site. and cant wait to start building more to the sim. well enough with the typing and back to cutting MDF.
Cheers.
Jason
