I have been simming for many years. Now retired. Got 3 GoFlight Units, and throttle, and yoke,and pedals, and new 21" monitor.! Added a few switches using a keyboard encoder card. Bought a Hagstrom KE72 for Christmas. Planned my neat little desktop cockpit (in my mind), cut out the cardboard etc. Looked at my lovely, large computer desk - asked the better half if I could get rid of it. Saw i my imagination a lovely homebuilt half cockpit in its place. She said OK! Am I in the abyss or is there any hope for me? PS Thanks for your reply re Gear Lever in another forum.

I'm in. Marked and cut out the MDF today!!Hagstom KE72 at the ready. Have visions of a wonderful backlit cockpit just like the photos. It probably will be soo disappointing. But I can still dream.
