My countryman has produced this F-16 simpit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43702478@N02/8378667330/in/set-72157632512270187/
The interesting part is that he implented side cockpit panels using touch screens, instead of useful approach of switches and plywood.
So, I decided to post it here to see if you guys think this is a good way of doing things.
From the technical point of view, I believe that cockpit panels in Orbiter could be exported over VNC, in pretty much the same fason VNCMFD exports MFD screens. So, ignoring performance issues for the moment this should be doable. What do you think about the idea from the cost / realism perspective?
For reference, the guy wants to sell his simpit for about 3k EUR, which should give us the idea of the cost of hardware he used.
