July 11, 200520 yr hello all,If there are any belgian cockpit builders around,i would like to start my own cockpit,but would like to meet someone whos is currently working on a homecockpit to get some information ,especially about the electronic part which is still the hardest thing to get for me.cheers.olivier sinnaeve
July 11, 200520 yr heyI'm building/planning. I've got the electronics, I'm close to creating the first panels, and the software is as good as finished (there are no good shuttle sims at this moment, apart from the one I'm working with).If you'd like to share toughts on MSN, contact me, I'll reply with my MSN
July 13, 200520 yr hello,I'm buiding a 737NG pit,things I did previous :- looked for the whole internet to get informations about software, hardware, dimensions, pictures,...- archieved all the information into maps, very easy to solve problems this way- learned to get a network going, learned how to program a standard pc, learned simple electronic steps. Then learned how to get pc hardware together.- looked out for some second hand fs hardware materials(board and cpflight equiptement, yoke and rudder)- start to draw my own pit, with help of dimensions found on the net.- make the wooden panels etc- start the fs connections and program pmFor now i'm really happy, I can always build further, and also fly a trip, it is amazing!!!But there is still a lot to do, and i'm contstant planning how to do this, and how to solve that. The thottle quadrant will be my big test, i've began to set up the basic ideas and preparations to a prototype.My slogan : take it step by step. my very primitive site : http://users.skynet.be/peterhomecockpit3 months ago I couldn't take a letter to the net, after some trying out, I was pleased that I've done this. Sorry but most messages on the site are in Dutch ...but pics are for everyone!There are a bunch of people that I mailed to with specific questions about their experiences, I want to thank them all for their support that they have given me already.Greetz from Belgium, - NinovePeter Deneve
