This
is my homebuilt cockpit. It is a lowcost project,
easy to build.
3 gauges are real, the Attitude Indicator, Heading Indicator, and Airspeed Indicator. All the
others are so fare "dummies".
The HUD is a addon for flying
the Jets. It is a software running on the
screen.
On the left panel I have placed a lot of
switches. Some are for panel lights, some are connected to the computer by a
USB-card. I can control landing-gear, flaps, GPS, ATC, airbrakes etc.
I can remove the center-console for pulling out the keyboard. This is after all
computerflying, the keyboard and the mouse must be available. I fly both FS9
and FSX.
The throttle is on the left hand. It makes good control and very realistic flying.
The joystick is to the right as in the F 16.
A subwoofer on the floor make very good sound, and a light vibration.
The materials are mainly wood, plywood and
cardboard
I have also built the PT 19 A Cornell cockpit, and the F 5 Freedomfighter.
No gauges. They are built for a museum.
