Yep Coffee, Wine, Beer, Scotch, it all goes down in the thinking/creating process.
Where abouts are your pictures though ba543?

Thanks got those pics. Looks like a tight fit in that shed. What sort of outside viewing are you considering?

Thats the method I used aswell:) Lots of coffee and sitting in my chair and wondering about the next step. The next step planning is the absolute most important in building a simulator.
So far you have done a very good job. Keep the pictures coming:)
And I can recomend Dieter`s yokes+tiller. Have the complete set and they are awesome.

Not yet, when I install FSUIPC 3.81,I lose all my open GL instrument displays. I hope to contact Peter Dowson about this soon.

Make sure you ask intelligent questions, his arrogance is over the top. I'm thankful that he created it, I'm just glad I don't have to address him personally.
Make sure you have tried everything within humanly possible limits because you will be drilled.
Good luck Gwyn!

I will always say one thing its a great feeling to sit in somthing you have built with your own hands, But the best thing of all i think is the fact that people like most of us here are willing to share the way they have achieved theses projects Good on ya Guys Thnks!!!

I don't think Pete is so much arrogant as he is tired of dealing with stupid mistakes. Things we should have noticed but forgot to look. I asked him a question once and when he responded it was a full complete answer. Including a juicy remark about my inability to read...:oops: The problem was I could have had the answer if I had simply read the documents he included in FSUIPC. I don't like getting called on the carpet anymore than anyone else, but I understand when I get what I asked for.... :???:
ba543, Very nice pit! Keep up the serious planning my friend! Its paying off! :D
