Hi. I am a CFII and want to build a realistic Instrument trainer with an instructor seat. I need to know where to start..... confusing......
Welcome aboard Tim
Just check Warren answer to a previous newcomer in the "Attention All Members and Guests" post.
My two cents, (beyond searching the Forum) go for a generic twin instead of a 172, more scope for the future.
Try different "airplanes" with a joystick, a mouse and a keyboard and see from your experience if they fly properly. Once you made up your mind on one, get a proper Avionics software like:

Check the site, download demo, manuals and read.
This will answer a lot of questions
It is easier than you think and we wil be glad to help.
