    I am deeply involved in making a cockpit for flying with MSFS 2020

    As usual, I try to figure out what is the path to add or modify peripherals that are fed by the flight simulator. I have purchased a bunch of peripherals and by the time I get to the intended end working on my workshop and on setting up the cockpit. The first step in getting into the electronics...
