Yeah, me too.
I actually started out with the idea of building a replica pit...bought the plans ,had them printed 1 to 1 , spent a couple hundred on a few really great
panels, even did some woodwork on the center console.
At that point I was almost $500 into it and had to face the fact that I lacked almost all of the things needed to build a cockpit... money, time , space, tools and most of all...knowhow.
I have watched some of the pitbuilders...their work is nothing less than fantastic!!!!!!!
But to tell ya the truth..If I could (and maybe someday)build a pit,
you can bet I would incorporate TB into it...It's just to cool not to use!!
And I am betting that a soon as some sim developer releases a sim with exportable MFD's...we will see a big jump in TB activity.
As for me..I got my game...I got my gear..I am a happy pilot!
