Hey Folks!
Im Adam, Im 22 and I have a passion for everything aviation!
Im really new to Cockpit building.
Infact I havent even begun to build anything yet!
I have the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, Pedals, Switch Panel and 2 Throttle Quadrents and thats it.
My setup at the moment is all the Saitek equipment stated above with 2 monitors (1 21" and 1 19") and a tablet that I use to display my GOS on.
I am looking into buying more panels from various places and other bits but up to now this is all I have.
Any suggestions about anything FS wise id appreciate :).

Hi Adam

What are your thoughts about cockpit building? Do you plan to have something you can sit behind, other than your desk?

Would it be a light aircraft, an airliner, something else? Have you seen something you like? Been in someone else's sim?

Where a outs in the UK are you?

Hi Sean.

My thaughts are simply that id do anything to have the skill to build my own cockpit, I will get there 1 day but until then Il stick with ready made panels.
I am thinking of building a frame set around a 146 styled cockpit to apply my current panels.

I want an Airliner mainly because me and my Dad own DHL Virtual Cargo and most of my flights are Cin airliners but however I am the CEO of the Official FSX RNLAF F-16 Solo Demo Team so id love an F-16 cockpit too :).

Im in Derbyshire (about 3 miles from East Midlands Airport)
