I've been checking out flight sim forums for a while now, planning on building another flight sim. I've enjoy reading what I've found on this forum, so I've finally joined.
My background; my last sim was a desk with a single monitor, keyboard and mouse, I had a yoke, joystick, throttle, and pedals. About as basic as you can get. I've had a private license and was an active member of the EAA for 14 years. My main interest is in experimental aircraft. I don't mind flying the big iron or fighters, but there's nothing like the old $100 hamburger run checking out the surrounding airports and scenery.
Here's my basic plan; do a 'ell of a lot more research. I'd like to be able to switch between yoke, center stick, and side joystick. But that looking like more of a pipe dream.I like the 3 screens with the Furnell lens. Get all of the gauges and switches off the computer screen. Use a touch screen for the instrument panel so I can switch from the old 6 pack to a glass panel and still have touch control.
