Why am I building an AV-8B Harrier cockpit?

I have become enamored with the Harrier and have been flying the AV-8B Night Attack Harrier module by Razbam in DCS almost exclusively for nearly four years now. I get so much enjoyment out of virtually flying the Harrier, I started fantasizing what it would be like if I could touch the controls and have them work in DCS. After many hours of research and deep thought, I decided this would be the perfect project for me, allowing me to satisfy my creative urges and leverage my many skills while developing some new ones along the way. I am not just building a cockpit, I am building news skills and a sense of accomplishment.
