Hello, everyboby.

This is my first attempt in building a GA sim. Still a lot to build and I enjoy this hobby,working on it whenever I have chance to. Interface is done with opencockpit and buo836s boards.

Trying to work out your gauges, are they a display from a monitor behind or just printed as a poster, great to see it all coming together!

Nice one mate!

Hi Alex, thanks for the reply, My guages are pictures of the guages that were printed on a large photo page and i put plexy glass over the whole thing in one piece, I first started of with a picture of the gauges and made radio stack, gps and the bottom part with all the switches with a CAD program. At the time that i started building this i did not realize that i could put a monitor behind because of all the encoders, but since realizing that it could be done after finding out on this very great forum, I am now thinking about changing it and putting the monitor in behind for the guage display.
