August 11, 20205 yr Hi fellow pilots, My name is Carsten, I'm a DIY'er at heart and I like to build things. I've been away from flight sims the past eight or nine years. My last sim was X-plane 10 on a 2009 iMac and at the time my wife and our daughter where still in our old apartment. I used to have a Saitek Yoke and I built a small cockpit from wood to put on my desk around the yoke. In 2010 we had a boy and spare time was limited so I didn't use the cockpit much after that. I can't remember if I sold the yoke or it broke but I ended up ditching the cockpit altogether. Anyway fast forward to today. We now have a house which is from 1974 so it needs some attention, our children are now 13 and 10, we have a cat and two rabbits (not the most optimal combination of species but the rabbits are safe I promise), but more importantly I have a shed which I'm slowly converting into a workshop. I'm a sucker for tools and wood in particular. The iMac has died and I now have a pretty beefy PC. Watching MS Flight Simulator 2020 has sparked the interest once again so I'm going to build some stuff in order to fly starting with a yoke. I'll create posts in the hardware section with the various projects as they come along. I do have a fulltime job too so things will take some time. Cheers and have a great day!
