Hi guys,
Well, I have found myself (unwittingly...) with a ridiculous amount of spare time for the foreseeable (hmm... Firefox insists there is an e at the end of fore in that word. I'm not convinced) future, so to stop myself going utterly insane, I have found a new project.
I plan to design and build a fully working A380 flight deck, along with fully functional avionics and flight systems (using external applications for the displays in the style of Project Magenta, but customised for the A380).
Although I am an experienced modeler in 3DS Max (although not for MSFS) I will probably "plug in" to one of the existing commercial A380 packages - maybe Wilco - for the model, updating the FDE. I'm not that interested in the external "look", as the point is to get a working flight deck, not make pretty screenshots...
I'm pretty good with C++ and C#.NET and OpenGL, but this is my first project specifically for MSFS.
It's going to be a mammoth task, but (un)fortunately I have a mammoth amount of time... I'm sure you will all be hearing from me many time over the next few months on these forums as questions pop up!
Cheers,
Martin
