Hello everyone,I guess more than 80% of sim builders should check out this forum. I hope to build a simple cockpit builder database in this forum. Basic like "who is doing what type in where".Let me introduce mine first:Alkit Chan, Boeing 747-200, Hong Kong (www.alkit747.com)If you are building a generic cockpit not specific to a type, please put "Generic" or "Generic Jet 2" (two engine jet) or Generic Prop 1" (single engine prop).Please please sign up even you are in planning stage.If anyone do not want to disclose their real name, nickname or callsign are welcome.I hope my idea is not too stupid and hope all you guys would participate.Best regards,Alkit

Hi Alkit,I do built a generic twin turboprop Dash 8-100 or ATR 42/72 switchable. Already done Captain side with PM Old Efis softwareCenter with FSEicasPedestal and throttle quad ( original Short 360)Yoke column rudder ( Yoke original Short 360) Hardware used: Plasma V1Gammaray 256IOCARD master and displayHagstrom USB encoder Next steps - wiring - overhead panel - glareshield Regards Roger WielgusStrasbourg / France

Thanks Roger for your participation!!!Alkit Chan, Boeing 747-200, Hong Kong (www.alkit747.com)Roger Wielgus, Dash 8-100 ATR 42/72, Strasbourg/France(the list will be in alphameric order)Hope all sim builder participate!! Because....this is OUR database!!

I think the Survey Idea is a fantastic idea, and I certainly would like to participate and be able to view the database. Here comes the but:) It would seem to me if a form or a set of questions are asked, you would receive a uniform response. This way there will be an accurate data base to be able to compare to other builders and allow the viewer of the database knowledgeable information of building/comparing of their own Sim.Example: (not in any specific order, just what came to mind as an example)Type AircraftFlight Sim Software, a. b. c. d. etc.Number of computers (configuration & uses) a. b. c. d. etc.Panels (home built - Professionally built - Real Aircraft panels)Shell - home built - fiberglass - Actual cockpit(real)Completed project - OngoingHow long to complete/ongoing - When startedAnd the list I'm sure will go on.Just a recommendation:)

Hi Alkit, Great idea to create a database.I am building a generic fighter style pit, planning a tandom layout,wood construction.Planning on using glass instruments mixed with glass/steam gauges.FSBus will be driving the whole thing at this stage.Projector is planned in the final stages.Currently working on the front seat, which is stage 1, the rear seat will be stage 2 if stage 1 ever gets finished ?? So much work involved but currently active on the project.Cheers Glenn WestonSydney/AustraliaPictures of my project can be found here:http://www.simhardware.co.nz/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33

Hello Matt,Thank you for your recommendation. The way you suggest would be very informative. To writing a comprehensive survey like this would like sometime. For example, to provide all the choices available.For this time, I would like to build up a very basic sim builder list. As I mention, to let everyone here (and elsewhere) to know exactly who is working on what in where.What you suggest would be next if the feedback is good this time. Appreicate your recommendation.So...Matt, would you continue on the list!!?Alkit

Roberto Soriano, B767-300ER, SAN SALVADOR EL SALVADOR, www.geocities.com/dodianoExcellent Idea Alkit!!Roberto

Hmmmm, work on a list.... :)BTW Decatur, Illinois, US

I will use Excel to record the data. I hope avsim would allow me to pin it at the top this forum. For future whoever join the sim cockpit world. Sign a name on it for update periodically.

First of all, I want to say its fanastic idea... secondly .. Please Please Please do not be confused between me (Arthur) and Robert we just had same last name, we have same hobbies and what even more we live in same state in USA. So Label me Arthur not Robert :)Arthur Prather Boeing B767-400ER, TEXAS, USA (40^ completion)(No website available yet, but in progress)Just Reminder: Please Please Please do not be confused between me (Arthur) and Robert. We had same last name. same hobbies, and what even more we live in same state in USA.

I started a similar post just a day before, but one gets better...B737-700/800/900NGMCP, COM1, COM2, NAV1, NAV2, ADF, EFIS, TRNDR.Hopefully later a CDU/FMC and Throttle.Using single PC (for now) and no mockups. Just FSBUS hardware with custom designed and produced panels.Site pending... :-)George DorkofikisAthens, Greecehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/betaimg.jpg

Hi, I'm Ray Sotkiewicz... Pretty much everyone here has heard of me in some form or fashion, (Hopefully in a good way! ;-) )I start my generic sim in 1997, and have since converted it to model a 777 flight deck, with many thanks and help from (Set Plug_mode = ON) Flight Deck Solutions. Seriously, Peter Cos has been a great help with my conversion. Soon I'll be adding the Elite Overhead panels and a few other goodies.(Set Plug_mode = OFF) I'll have to upload some of my recent photos. The ones I have linked below are well over 5 years old by now.
