Well, I've been trying to get the word out, but have had very few takers.
Posted a series of snapshots at the end of
May, seemed to get a lot of hits on the site, but very few questions or "How
do I get one of these?" So maybe it wasn't all that cool after all or those
who saw it (assuming it's mostly the FG audience) just weren't interested.
Once I get a little further along with the flightdeck I'll post a few more
pics

The network aspects could use a little work. Actually, the interface
protocoils to FG are quite numerous but it requires a little more work than
FSUIPC but with the plib library it's not all that difficult and well worth
the effort.
