June 12, 200323 yr very nice ! I am building a fighter but sometimes, when I see project like yours, I wonder if I'm going the right way ...
June 12, 200323 yr >very nice ! I am building a fighter but sometimes, when I see>project like yours, I wonder if I'm going the right way ...I know what you mean! I worked on F-16 a-d's in the AirForce and I wanted to build an f-16 sim but the logistics and price are to high. I know the 737 isn't as excitimg but it's nice on a 3 hour flight to get up and stretch out when you can't in a dogfight. Maybe i'll build one of each! LOL
June 12, 200323 yr >very nice ! I am building a fighter but sometimes, when I see>project like yours, I wonder if I'm going the right way ...Hey frenchmaverick, we're a minority it seems. Please don't switch to building a commercial airline pit!!! We need more of us so that fighter sim developers will make stuff like SDKs and pretty soon we'll have our own equivalent of FSUIPC for fighter sims. That would be soo great. Yes I know, there's always F4...Anyway, I'm thinking of making a generic type mil cockpit. What's your fighter of choice for your pit?Hey Rob, looking great. Glad to see your progress. Those gaping holes are filling up pretty nicely. You still need to buy 3 or 4 more projectors (and screens) at least, I

June 13, 200323 yr Actualy my cockpit will try to be as close as possible as the Euro Fighter one. I will not use it with FAlcon nor Lomac but with FS2002. I will use Project Magenta to feed the MFDs and the HUD and FSBUS for all of the switches and the frequencies displays. My goal is to have fun during an aerobatic session over the Rockies and then perform a CATIII landing in a crowded airport. Here's an example of the first panel I have acquired for it : the COM panel.
