Let me introduce myself here at the forum (have been lurking for some days now...):
I'm in the process of building an F-16 Simulator (just as a hobby), and the info available here is a _huge_ source for me.

I guess, I will have some questions in the future (since I'm planning to write a software modelling the f-16 avionics/engine/..., as real as I manage to get it) - maybe some of you guys and girls(?) could help me out a bit?

2 pics of my project in it's actual state:

That is one extensive project. Must be nice to have the room for all that. You gonna also make the cockpit coaming and stuff?

thx Habu!
The pit itself is only 2m x 1.3m big, so it will find it's place in my flat w/o probs..
English is not my mother tongue - what exactly is coaming?

I think he means the black cover forward of the instruments, under the HUD.

Some of my past cockpit projects are here: http://www.habu2.net/sims/simulate.htm

By cockpit coaming I mean the area just of the sides, where the canopy would come down and close on top of.

Hey, don't tell me *g*. That's one of the first sites I found while doing research for my pit years ago - let me say "THX ALOT" in this way!!

Yes, I'm planning to do a canopy, too, but replica of the real one is actually much too complicated for me (no way to work with plexyglass). So I'll go the "old fashioned" route, with a windshield from the front to the center console (just about where the HUD is located) and a canopy that moves for the rest - this is actually in planning phase, and it will take some time until I start with it.
