Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum from Australia. You will indeed find a wealth of knowledge here from the other members. Hope you get all that you hope for from building your sim. Have you decided how you will go building your sim and what model you will base it on?
All the best
Trevor

Thanks for the warm welcome guys

In response to the type of cockpit I'm am looking to build its the boeing B738 model glass gauges type cockpit as apposed to analogue guages as i think they will be more expensive to construct where as the glass gauges i can use LCD screens.

I intend on building as much of the equipment myself and as mentioned before i would also like to build 6 dof plat form as well

regards chris
