Just thought to write it down here for now...... my 'entry' into the cockpit building realm, after over 40 years without one...  :laugh:

Having had great advice here and from Trev, including the warning that things would not go smooth..... how true.

Ordered a ' basic kit' with Arduino board and materials, to learn. Waiting for the mailman.

Also dusted off my AirManager software (just bought an update in April) and set out to have a look at what I can do with it. I already started ' holing' my Baron panel....

Well, whaddayouknow...... the monitor I had planned doesn't fit. Top two engine instruments are too high. Grrrmbl.....

I do have another /(very old) 15" monitor, that would accommodate the main cluster. But then I would need something else for the stack of engine gauges. But what ?

Also, the old monitor only has a VGA plug, so had to order a VGA-to-HDMI cable for it.

All good fun, as long as SWAMBO is not peeking at my Amazon orders.....

Francois, I assume you know you can resize and move all the instrument in AirManager?

Also for more information (visual) for Mobiflight, have a look at Michael's YouTube series:

He has dozens of videos explaining how to use it.

Also HeliMech.

He's built a full 737 and explains how he interfaced it all with MobiFlight and ProSim737. But the videos will help you understand the methodology.

I know, Joe, but the one monitor is not high enough, the panel is bigger. And the other isn't large enough, so I probably need a second one... or one that covers the entire area..... decisions, decisions....
