Hi all,I am a newbie on cockpit building but I would like to do so in the future. I have done some research by FlightdeckSolutions and I think they have some great stuff over there :-eek :DBut I was wondering how I get all those electric to work.I have an idea about my frame, it's gonne be something like this:http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/12757.jpgBut I've heard that you need EPIC to let the electric part of your cockpit work for 100%.But someone tell me what EPIC exactly is? And what the prices are at the moment? And how much I need for my cockpit. In the future I want to build a cockpit with erything on it. such as overhead panel,pedestal etc.Thank you in advanceKind Regards,Guy :-wave

EHAM:What is EPIC? EPIC stands for Extended Programmable Input/Output Controller. Basically, EPIC allows you to use buttons, switches, potentiometers, gauges, rotaries, etc. to provide realism to a flight simulator. The site below, although fighter oriented, has basic information about EPIC that you may find useful.http://www.xflight.de/f16/I'm also attaching some links to my favorite EPIC sites so you can get a feel for prices. I suggest you continue your research around the internet and come back to ask specific questions whenever you can't find what you need.http://www.flightlink.comhttp://www.mindspring.com/~rrelect/http://home.att.net/~sfinger/home.htmhttp://www.fsim.com/default.htmlhttp://www.em.ca/~cockpits/I'm a fighter sim builder myself, but there are commercial sim builders on this site who I'm sure will help if asked. I also suggest you read through some of the older post on this site to see what you can learn from questions already asked and answered.Good luck.
