Cessna 172 Flight Simulator
This site shows the progress I make in building my own Flight Simulator. The simulator should eventualy simulate flying a Cessna 172 as real as possible. Meanwhile I use the simulator as a flight training device to train for my private pilot license course.

And again a switch from own craftmansship to the real thing
Simkits had their panels and glareshields on sale so I have put away my wood, saws, glue, file, and paint and i have again drawn my checkbook... The panel looks great! Everythings fits perfectly and looks real and professional. Buying the panel instead of making it realy speeds up things. I did not even have an idea how to start with making my own glareshield. You loose some flexibility but you gain a great panel
I have put in all the gauges I have up untill now (enough for flying the circuit) and I will integrate the yoke next. After that I will have to integrate the switches, throttle, etc. Hint for other builders: use velcro to attach the gauges to the panel, than you don't have tho glue them and they can easily be disassembled again.
