C-182 Glass Cockpit Construction (Pt. 1)

[racer590]

I am in the begining phase of building a c-182/c-172 cessna glass cockpit for fs2004.


Real c-182 glass cockpit.


All knobs and switches will work in fs using http://www.opencockpits.com hardware.

I will be using http://www.projectmagenta.com/products/gagc.html General Aviation Glass Cockpit software using fsuipc and widefs.

i have drew the 2 multy function displays using a program called front panel designer by
http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/.
.
i will be making more of the panels once i get back from marching band tonight. in the end i expect to spend in the area of $4000-$5000 dollars. i would like any input on things you think that could be better.

does anyone know how i can find a salvage yard within a few states of indiana that i can find a whole cockpit to buy that way it will be easier but it doesnt have to be the g1000 cockpit just any old cessna cockpit

That looks like quite an undertaking, Racer. Good luck with it.
