Lets see if there is demand for this topic.

Let me start an example with one of my wheelbases:

    I used to be super into flight sim building, when I was doing my ppl I helped the flight school build a new one, custom cockpit dashboards made of LCDs behind cutouts running on computers with Matrox triple-head cards. custom arduino based radios etc. then I was into custom plane designs, as xplane made that pretty accessible.

    Left that community for quite some time after my dad was in a light plane crash and stopped flying but just a couple of weeks ago I installed the latest version of Xplane and I feel the bug growing again.

    definitely want to get back into it and then this community was suggested.

    I’ve always kind of wanted to make some gear for my flight simulator, definitely checking this out. Thanks for the share!
