I/O Options

[Avilator]

Happy Easter, Everyone!

 

I recently got Building Recreational Flight Simulators by Mike Powell. Reading the chapter on I/O options has me a little overwhelmed with options. Can anyone with pitbuilding experience share your thoughts on what cards I should use in my A-10C pit?

 

Thanks!

depends on how far you want to go with your pit. Do you want to have Lua out put to LCD screans or 7 segment, roterys diles, or do you just want to keep it simple with push butons and switches? We culd use a better idea of what you want to do with your pit.

I plan to go all out with my pit and make it as close to 1:1 scale as possible, within reason, of course. I am going to be using Lua output on screens and mechanical instruments (most of which I'm going to build myself.) To be a little more specific with my original question, is there any real difference in reliability or ease of use/programming (I'm a total newb in this department, but I have people that can help me) between different brands? Does anyone have first hand experience that would recommend against getting a specific brand?
