Best I/O card for Overhead System (737ngx or 800)

[vanka472 0]

Hey there guys so I am looking to start building my overhead for my 737 cockpit. I have a really good build guide thanks to Brenden! This is a link to his 22 video setup from start to finish.

 

 

He has been a great help and what he did was very affective! I don't think anyone can really get that good of a overhead without spending over $1000+ or atleast as far as I have seen. The plexiglass method seems to be interesting and creative, so unless has other good ideas that is what I am going with as for now.

 

As for finding a board(s) I have looked all over the Internet at all different options and here are a few.

 

Open Cockpits: http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/master-card-p-29.html?cPath=21_27 (A bit confused with this one)

Leo Bodnar: http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836X/

Desktop Aviator: http://www.desktopaviator.com/Products/Model_2230/index.htm (Pulse so won't work with Prosim737)

Flight Deck Solutions: http://www.flightdecksolutions.com/list_products.php?id=22

 

These are just a few that I have compilled together but I don't know which ones are really good and what not so I have decided to bring it to you guys and ask you guys for your opinions and see if you guys have good times with any of these in paticular! I also want to spend the least amount of money so I don't know which ones are paticularly good. Brenden on his sim used 5 Leo cards and at $85 (approx.) a piece thats about $425 which seams really expensive but who knows thats a good looking board that he developed. My main thought is leaning towards the FDS board because they have created many good looking and lasting products. And I think I might just return my Saitek and buy the FDS-FC1 Flight Control Interface and build my own joystick! But thats another battle another day...

 

Anyway thanks guys!

 

Cheers,

Vanka
