•   First and foremost, the most helpful and knowledgeable person I've had the pleasure to converse with is Mr. James Price
from Livermore, Ca. I finally had the opportunity to meet James in person at the 1998 Microwing's Conference this past summer in Orlando, Florida. I have spent many hours long distance on the phone with James working through this and that. Mostly programming the EPIC. More recently, James and I have flown back and forth to each others homes. I can honestly say without his help, this project would not be possible. At least not to this potential. Thanks again James.

•   Mr. Ted Deller of Cockpit Simulations, Inc. in Canada. Ted's business manufacturers a wide variety of simulator add-ons that replicate actual aircraft parts. I purchased Ted's Mode Control Panel (MCP) for the Boeing 757 along with the Honeywell switches. You cant get any closer to the real MCP unless you actually purchase the real thing. Ted also has the advantageous EMDA wiring card available which I plan on purchasing real soon. I too had the opportunity to meet Ted in Orlando as well. Great guy!
