That may be, but it isn't cheap to buy $$$$.

The Altimeter alone that 'Chalenge' posted is $391.00 & that is for an untested one.  The Built and tested USB Altimeter is $520.00.

It is VERY cool and that would be neat to have.  But I can't see buying that and keeping a girlfriend LOL!

American Aero Services is putting together an A36 (another wishlist item of mine) and is also a great place to find discards and a great source for template parts information.

We would also be able to use the CH MFP:


The CH MFP already works in AH.

ty ack-ack, just realised the MFP isnt a screen, its just a bunch of buttons with a printout underneath for $200 :o

I assumed since there was graphics of gauges that they worked ... so no feedback at all in this device  :rolleyes:

I know there are proper touchscreens for this purpose out there, thats the kind of interactive support I was talking about.

For those with limited space and cash for a simpit just get 2 4x8 foot pieces of half inch plywood and download the ackers&Barnes plans. Out the measurements on posterboard to make stencils and cut the pieces out. The pit is a good beginning that can be modded an customized. I'm for whatever progresses the realism of the game as well as whatever helps the simpit community out there with immersion.
