In order to build anything of this complexity from scratch, you need to take things a step at a time.  Before you can put the parts together, you'll need to be sure the parts you are going to build will work as expected.
In order to build anything as complex as a simulator from scratch, you need to take things a step at a time.  Before you can put the parts together, you'll need to be sure the parts you are going to build will work as expected. I've started to build prototypes for things I'm pretty sure will work.  There will be a wiki page for each prototyping project.

A prototyping project should have a goal.  It should demonstrate something specific that will be useful in constructing a simulator.

I intend to post prototyping project outlines that are actually in in progress, or have been completed as separate wiki pages.
A template for such a project is available. [[ Howto:Build your own Panel or Cockpit - Prototype Project Template ]]  (This will be turned into a wiki template soon..)


A template for such a project is available. [[ Howto:Build your own Panel or Cockpit - Prototype Project Template ]]
For this section of the wiki, prototype projects will be named like this: [[Howto:Build your own Panel or Cockpit - Prototype for {PrototypeName} ]]
 
You can use an existing template, create a new template on that page or just do it your own way. 
 
The Template does recommend a name style for this part of the wiki.  [[Howto:Build your own Panel or Cockpit - Prototype for {PrototypeName} ]]
 
I also recommend expanding the template into a short plan in a personal talk page instead of just creating the page at the start. The reason: Planning items are likely to change drastically once you get into it.  So I'm recommending waiting until well into the prototype before posting the project outline as a separate wiki page. Working on a personal version and waiting to post it publicly will save others from dealing with early drafts.
