[simpits-tech] Chris's phidget radios

[Justin Messenger]

The T-38 will be cool. I have long thought if i were
rich my dream plane would be a two seat F-5E in
agressor colors. It has about the best fuel economy VS
performance you can get. it would be sweet to taxi up
to your friends in one of those :)

I'm looking forward to the radios, I know that will
really add to the feel of the cockpit. Having those
functional LEDs on the side panels will be awesome.

Sean, 
it’s a long story about changing simulation software
and dreams of
achieving the what was once thought impossible (at
least in the good old
days of sims). It all started ......       ... And now
I want a sim that
gives me an excellent OTW view, with great flight
modelling/dynamics
system, that I can customise and get things to work
within the
parameters I want, and that I can write my own code
for to create
enhancements. Finally MSFS delivers on most of this
stuff and so I want
to create a cockpit that I can use in this
environment.
Now the problem becomes that as you grow ideas like
this, so things
change. Life was simple in the old sim days, choices
were very limited.
So my simpit project started life as an F16 (due to
limited choice). Now
days I get virutally aircraft type I want (and most of
its free!) and
what I like is the Talon T38. Its small, fast,
military and I can do my
own avionics upgrade to a modern "glass" panel set and
give it a techno
feel with some old steam driven gauges to give me the
best of both
worlds. It suits me well.
So the pit starts life as an F16, then I changed to an
EFA (Eurofighter
during that days of EF2000) and now a T38. I have a
very good MSFS model
(in fact one of the best free aircraft I have ever
seen) and so Im
working on making my pit something like this.
Admittedly the cockpit
layout will have some "fudge" to it. Im sure that once
all the panels
and switchology is done, even you would be proud to
sit in it and have a
play (I mean fly) Of course this is all until LOMAC
hits the shelves,
and them Im sure I'll change my mind again and trash
10 years of
dreaming and scheming and start over !!!

Chris.
