I'm new to sim building. I'm a student pilot looking to recreate a fairly accurate cockpit of a 172 to ease the transition time into the real aircraft. I'm a low tech kinda guy, but looking for some help and knowledge from experienced people to help me achieve this goal.

Welcome aboard...
As a starter,try a search here with 172 home cockpit
A 172 is relatively easy project
You only need to buy one or two Nav radios (for navigation) a yoke and a rudder.
The rest (all switches, engine controls etc) can be home made and easy to interface with a joystick inputs and outputs card.
