[diy-cockpit] Progress update & introductions...

[Jerry sorrell]

My neighbor and I have been plugging away at the software side of the sim. I 
have done some of the sheeting  but may leave the sides open for making the 
wire runs easier.
I found a Logitech Extreme Pro joy stick ( with USB) at Goodwill for $5. We 
adopted an extension on it and it will work perfectly as a floor mounted joy 
stick in the cockpit. I also found a nice folding boat seat that will work 
as the cockpit seat for those long flights.

I will use an ACER screen  for the cockpit display of the "round gauges", 
programmed to work with IL-2.

The ACER screen will be cut to fit as an overlay onto the sim instrument 
panel.
