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.
So far no real additions to the SIM. Just some buttons and switches. I have acquired a 10-turn potmeter so I am going to build the trimwheel soon. I am also planning to order the magnetos switch, turn-coordinator as well as some 10k potmeters with which I can build the throttle and mixture. A real nice addition would be a Matrox Parhelia card and an extra 20' LCD screen, than I would be able to have a large front view and two 45 degrees sideviews.
