Careful Jeff!!!! You are about to embark on an addiction from which there is
no easy return. It can be expensive, although not necessarily terrible so - depends on how "real" you want to get and how handy you are... Besides the excellent links below, check out www.flightdecksolutions.com for panels, www.goflightinc.com for easy to use avionics and other hardware, www.chproducts.com for low-end flight controls or www.flypfc.com for higher-end controls. For instruments checkout www.simkits.com, or if you want great looking stuff that can be displayed on a monitor check out www.projectmagenta.com. If you really have some bucks to spend, check out www.flightillusion.com. Play their video - it shows some fantastic instruments that they will make to order. You can check out Mike's links page for tons of useful stuff... and there are plenty of knowledgeable folks who will be happy to assist you at every turn. Be sure how you have understanding wife though, for when you tell her you need to take over the garage or a room in your house to build an airplane ![]() Welcome, and Good Luck! -Mitch Morrell N714TX King Air Simulation "Jeff" wrote in message .. .
