The Story Behind This Project.
For all my years I have been interested in aircraft. So naturally when I began playing on a Commodore 64 computer with the "flight sims" they had around in those days my interest began in getting a cockpit built. I have had many, many years of thoughts/ideas and have now begun to put together a simulator of the F-16 Block 50 aircraft. With the release of Falcon 4 and the subsequent upgrades/patches, we are now at a stage where a truely imersive military simulator can be built. My end goal is to have the simulator with full working controls, switches and MFD's. Also a projected view for visuals and eventually a custom built canopy. A project that will keep me busy for a while indeed.
