Hi all,
My name is chris and I'm from Belgium. I'm 40 and my dream since forever is to be a buiness jet pilot. I'm not a fan of the big size planes like Boeing or Airbus, but instead I'm a fan of small business jets for instance Learjet or Challenger or Cessna Citation. As I got some knowledge in computer (my job), electrics, mechanics, electronics, DIY, I thought that I could at least make my dream virtually by building my own home cockpit.
I don't know yet what and how, but I'm willing to make that project real.
I've built a DIY Mill so I can definitely make my own parts. I'm also building a 3D printer si I can definitely make the buttons and plastic parts.
I'm also an arduino enthusiast. I've found out that it's definitely possible to interface FSX with some arduino boards.
So if some of you guys are doing the same, I'll be very glad to learn from you. In exchange and since I got the Open-Source mind, I'll share my discoveries if I find some :-)
I know this project will be very long and tough. I'm giving myself 4 to 5 years to achieve the project.
Best regards
