Electronics will be easy, but we really need a good simple serial
format that FlightGear understands and can map to any controls. 19,200
serial with 16 axes and 4 or 8 bytes should be enough, then let me use
XML config to tell which byte maps to which control. Everyone has a
serial port,

Hi Alan,
Do you have more pictures of your CNC ?
Is the part that the steppers are mounted on some kind of plastic ?
I'd like to see more pics of the details how you built your CNC :)
Not yet, and yes they're 50 cent plastic electrical boxes for mounts.
You can set

Take a look at www.opengc.org. All the stuff to build the displays is there.
You'll have to write your own routines for specific F-16 displays. And there
is an interface to FG you can tweak to meet your requirements.
I think I've convinced myself to not even work on it

Actually, we just want you to work on the flightgear core and not be
sidetracked by drooling over hardware stuff others are building. Believe
me, it can be addicting just looking at what others are building. :-

Just joined the list myself and this was one of only a few main

we're just a few doing flightgear, but that'll certainly change over

The question would be whether this would/could be hosted officially
