Hi this my first test with an ESP 8266 microcontroller to build a very cheap cockpit.

it is yery simple i used only the wifi controller and a servo.

What do you think about it.

I suggest you update your FlightGear version as soon as possible, this one is VERY old!

If you're on Ubuntu distros (includes Mint, Elementary etc), you need the PPA.
There are free alternatives to (almost) every program you encounter. You just have to find them.

I don't understand you where is the problem with my fg version? It should work with any newer version.

I use Version 2017.2.1.

Hi!

This is amazing! Is there any chance you could do a how-to for the rest of us cockpit builders?

Well done! :D
