Hello,
I looking at startin out in building a cockpit. I am looking at hte EMB 145. Because of the time and money involved I am going to do a bit at a time ans was thinking of starting with the FGC and get used to interface buttons, switches etc with the FS. Then I will look at playing with project magenta software to create the displays on the moniters. And build the rest of it up from there. I have a couple of questions that would help me get started. when interfacing is SIOC the same as FSUIPC or are they different.
How do I make or where do I buy panels, I would like to go for the backlit option.
I know some of the answers to these questions require depth, so if you could place some relevant links up that would be great.
Any other hints, tips, do's or dont's would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou kindly
Marc
