EPIC is a fairly high end solution due to the cost of the gear.  It's not
cheap. :)

I'm using Windows for all my initial development work.  Once I've got all
the hardware done, I'll run both Windows & Linux.

Well remember, FlightGear does run in Windows. :)

It's a C model.  Everything with the exception of the MPCD, VSD and TEWS
is steam.  I got really lucky and nailed down a real HSI and a
built-for-simulation-use ADI.  All my hydraulic and engine guages are
scratch built by a friend of mine and the others will be gutted and
rebuilt, with the exception of the ADI and HSI.  Those will eventually be
driven "as designed".
