Hi all,

My name is Fabio and I am from Rome Italy, after so much lurking I decided to introduce myself. I am in the very first phase of building an home cockpit, so there are a lot of things yet to be decided.
I will go for a 737NG and I will use X-plane. Today I tried out a projector borrowed from a friend and yes it is amazing and that's the path I will follow (I was trying with 3 22" monitors but projector(s) really win :) ). The only problem I will have is space and short distance from the projector to the screen/panels (I would like to make a 180 degrees FOV), but that's an issue to be discussed in the right sections :)
So thanks to the people who made all this possible and will ask questions and help as much as I can.

Hi Fabio....

Great to see you on the forum, I really hope your NG project goes well especially that you are using X-Plane. I love X-Plane, its very technical at first but once set-up its great!

Keep us updated with your progress and great to see another x-plane user.

Good luck with your project.

Welcome Fabio

I have a question for you. My sim uses FSX and Xplane (depending on what i want to fly) the gauges i use in my pit are form FSXpand. What do you plan on doing for your glass cockpit?

Thanks.

Ciao Mike,

for the glass cockpit I will be able to use either free solutions like vasFMC (beta 2 at the moment) which despite the name, has all needed for the glass cockpit of a boeing/airbus or something like projectmagenta (which in case I should test before buying as it is rather expensive).
