Hi Everyone
I have been flight simming since starting on the sinclair zx81 wireframe
cockpit of a spitfire. The last few years have been getting more serious into flying 747, 737 for a virtual airline. After seeing a sight in the UK about
building a home cockpit I have been inspired to have a go myself. I hope to learn a lot from you guys and hopefully some help from you as well. I hope soon to start building a mcp for my boeing.

Hey Bruce...
It's great to hear from you. I am sure many of us builders are looking forward to seeing and hearing about your plans. There is a plethora of knowledge here in the sight, you will be able to find it I am sure, if not. Ask questions. We are all here to help each other out. Please feel free to create a gallery of your project, so we may all see how things are going for you. I for one am excited to see more new members joining daily. You all bring something new to the table, and for that we thank you.
Best regards...

Welcome
Many thanks guys for the warm welcome I got on here tonight, one question I was going to ask. Is it better to buy a commercially built MCP panel or one of the ones you put together yourself

Hello and welcome! Well that depends... If you have the time, know how or willing to learn how I think building your own is a great idea, but if money is not a problem and you would rather spend your time on other parts of your sim, then buy one. There are a few good ones out there. It is all up to what you want..... And I too look forward to seeing your project grow!

MCP Panel
Thanks Bob and Trev for the advice think I will go for the goflight version, I have been led to understand that there is a company in poland that makes fantastic panels for the 737NG, which is great for guys like me this side of the pond.

Welcome to MyCockpit Bruce,
I would very much recommend the CP Flight MCP with the backlit front plate from Engravity. I have this unit and two CP Flight EFIS modules that work brilliantly with the PMDG program and look a million bucks. Well worth the extra pennies, don't compromise on this purchase, you won't regret it!

Cp Mcp
Thanks for that Gwyn, I didnt realise they made an EFIS Panel as well, looks as if this is the better option
