Has anyone used FlightGear with the simkits instruments? http://www.simkits.com/ These are not real expensive and for a basic GA aircraft it should be possible to build a very nice cockpit that is very realistic and affordable. Although it would cost more than using a video displays as the panel. The big advantage is the possibility of having switches and other controls on the panel that are more realistic. I looked the site over and there appear to be only Windows drivers for the device interface. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
