Eventually all the parts will be wired up to usb joystick encoder type boards and will be used with Microsoft flight simulator. I have been building controls and other bits for a few years but this time around I have all the tools and most of the skills to do it right.
No pilots license but I do work in the aviation business. I'm an Air Attack Officer with the provincial Airtanker program here in British Columbia. I spend the summer flying in TC690's, Caravans and a Citation jet, directing fire fighting operations. Had I known at 18 what I know now, I would have become a pilot but this is a great job so I can't complain. I have built a training simulator at work for training new AAO candidates, I've attached a picture of that sim.
