SimSamurai.net - I recently came across a guy called Jeff on youtube. He has built a very nice cockpit and is a very knowledgeable chap. I have had a good look through his website and one of the things he sells is a manual for FS users.
It's called the Ultimate Guide to Advanced Flight Simulation (or UGTAFS). I bought a copy and I have to say - it's bloody good! Aimed at the FS user more than the cockpit builder, it contains a huge amount of useful information covering many aspects of flight sim, flying online, hardware, software, building - it's all in here. I guess it's really about getting the most out of your flight sim experience with the equipment you have. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
I think he posts on this forum occasionally but he really deserves a mention and a medal for his input. This is not a commercial advert by the way, just a testimonial from a very satisfied customer.
Jeff also builds cockpits and sells blueprints etc for his own designs. They are a very good basis to get you started - go and take a look. You will be glad you did.
