Hello every one,

Thank you so much for all you guys to and the efforts in here!! I am working as a Avionics design Engineer on heavy helicopter working with integration and modification of equipment such as FLIR camera, Radios, MFD`s or whatever the customers requires for operation the aircraft in all different mission purposes. I have wide experience in aviation standards and hopefully i might be able to perhaps contribute with some of it in here 

I am in the planning phase of building my first pit and so far i am only gathering parts before the show can start I am really looking forward to become a part of you guys! and perhaps start my own build thread

I absolutely love Norway!  I was fortunate enough to spend 2 weeks there in the early 90's and hopefully I will get back over there someday.  I toured several military facilities including an airbase where I got to fly the F16 simulator!  Good stuff...

A warm welcome aboard from Texas!

Instead of making a new thread I find this to be a good opportunity to use this thread for my kickoff. My initial plan was to make a block 50 and interface it to DCS. I recently got my hands on a real CP, Instrument panels and glareshield from a scrapper MLU.

I have a hard time to decide if i should convert it to a block 50 (minor changes mostly to the MISC section) or keep it as an original MLU. I kind of like the more rarity of a MLU build. But it will not match DCS   

Perhaps I could ask of this favor to help me decide. Converting it is no problem but i feel a pain just with the thought of altering an original part. However i am not hard to turn

My vote is to go with the MLU - that black cockpit really looks cool, IMO...

...and if you should happen across another homeless set of aft glare shields, keep me in mind... .

Nice catch!

I would probably use it as it is without messing with it. (although I'm not a fan of the black cockpits  )

Do you feel the differences (misc panel) in DCS are such that it would make using it as it is too difficult?

Many of us build with whatever parts we could get and ended up with some kind of hybrid cockpit. I don't think it is a big issue.
