However I'm getting drawn in to I've worked on my solution for quite some time. It really takes time designing stuff like that. The current solution grew out of several smaller things that I built. I just thought that I should put everything together and make one "big" solution out of it that can drive everything you might need in a cockpit. And I think its the cheapest solution out there. And since all the others don't support flightgear (the flightsim world is still so MSFS centered) I thought this is the best way. > do a soft key panel using some a touchscreen 7" LCDs that I've just seen, > £160 (UK Pounds) is quite tempting. But its so much more fun to actually "flip switches" and "turn knobs" :-) Really.... ;-) > > It would be interesting to have a place where the hardware > > people could talk.

Maybe it's something that > the users would be more interested with. I've also talked to John Wojnaroski, He is also building hardware. Maybe we're just a few doing flightgear, but that'll certainly change over time. Just show those (mostly ignorant) MSFS crowds what flightgear can do :-) If you want to talk off-list about hardware stuff, just email me. I'd be interested in what you are doing.
