should keep you busy for more than an hour. Of course after you read this stuff youll start thinking of designs and more computer stuff, and then you have to figure a way to talk the wife into letting you build a big cockpit in the house Grin

(unless you are one of the lucky ones that don't have to worry about that last bit).

Here's another good description of a cockpit that does not use totally outrageous expensive solutions to the flight controls. The keyboard actuators are a kind of ingenious solution to the problem...... but I think there are easier ways Wink

Here is yet another site that should help get the creative juices flowing for those interested in the CRJ aircraft........ a GREAT set of closeup pictures of every panel in the plane, plus exterior shots too:

http://www.christian-haupt.de/flusi/crj/crj-details.html

And here is a great little site that shows a simple but quite effective Cessna type cockpit done pretty darn cheaply:

Head down to the bottom of the page for his first project before the Boeing stuff at the top.

And here's quite a bit more expensive one from Nihon (Japan) that is pretty impressive:

Just found the following website that shows a pretty nice setup that does not (yet) involve constructing an enclosure that resembles an aircraft cockpit. It is basically a "desktop" type setup that involves glass cockpits stuff and Goflight stuff and so on.

The website presentation itself is REALLY well done.

Check it out at:
