Welcome to my web page. If you have arrived here is because you share one of my hobbies: the aviation.

For many years, I have been interested in planes and all their related world, and due to my present job is not related with planes, the simulation has been a way of solving this problem.

Because of the quick simulators evolution, the possibility of flying on the net, the real time ATC..., I thought about building my own cockpit. But after looking for and checking some information, I decided not no build it. I considered it very complicated.

One day, in the mailing list of the Flight Simulation Spanish Association (www.simuvuelo.org), a personal project (IOCards project) to control the MS Flight Simulator with elements like switches, buttons, etc. was presented.

I was very interested with the idea and joined the project inmediately. Now there were spanish people with the same interests as me, and the hardware was designed by spanish man too. That was totally different to what I had found before. I discovered lot of people making their own cockpits. I invite you to join our mailing list (although it's in spanish, most of people speak english).

Through these web pages I will try to explain how to build a Boeing 737NG cockpit starting from zero. I invite you to navigate through them and I hope you can find ideas that can be useful for you.
