For the hardware part, there's a whole (heavily MSFS biased) community of "home cockpit builders". There are a few forums where we 'hang out' and exchange tips and ideas. We've also setup a wiki for that kind of stuff: http://wiki.varxec.net My co-builder Stephen is currently working on his C172 radio replicas: http://cockpit.varxec.net/stephen/gal/xpdr_galleryidx.html Believe me, the way he builds the stuff is one of the cheapest possible :-) Regards, Manuel _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
