Hi there,
Been lurking on the forum for some time now and felt it time to sign up and let some of you see my current project and possible help with some technical advice. I don't have the room at present for a full cockpit set up but would like some add ons that will make my 737NG flight sim experience a little bit more realistic.
Firstly my basic Saitek based setup

Then modifying the Saitek TQ for a bit more realism

Then onto making a touchscreen FMC out of a 10" Android Tablet using Virtual CDU

Anyway I have scrapped the saitek TQ and am making a new full sized version based upon the DIY plans available from various sites.

Will keep you all updated via the build log section.
Hi Daniel, Excellent work thus far. We are all at various levels of our build. and so far from what I have seen you have been applying what you have learned from the various sites. Well done.
