Overview
 
  1. The MKI was my first attempt at building a (partial) flight sim cockpit.  It was build in ~2001, and only used for a couple months.
  2.  
Purpose
 
  1. The MKI was built to help me practice cockpit procedures as a student pilot.  
  2.  
Construction
 
  1. The MKI consisted of a fiber-board dummy-panel & a set of controls (yoke, rudder, throttle) that were very homely-looking indeed, all sitting under an old 14-in monitor.

  3. Software: flightgear (http://www,flightgear.org), redhat linux (http://www.redhat.com)
