Have various sets of B737 Cockpit seats FOR SALE!! They look like the one on the pic, Price is $700 + Shipping, and have also some Korry Switches these look like the ones on commercial Jets, aonly that they are engraved for other functions and you could easilly engrave them, make a sticker or something to convert them for Sim Use, price for these babies is $6 plus shipping, these are not double illuminated only single lamp, perfect for MCP, Master Caution or even overhead panels. Still hame AML 22 switches for sale!! 60 of them. Please mail me at [email protected].

Guys,Just a comment, it is very sad to see some good add on not updated for the last FS, only because it was not sold in the way that the company would like.Where is the compromise of them to up date their product to those that buying same was supposing that could use the add on for all FS?Just a relief.

Hi everyone!I'm new to AvSim forum and new to forums in general, so feel free to give any tips! :-hahI'm interested in building a few things for a home cockpit, basic stuff like light controls etc. What do I need to know when it comes to making the stuff. Where can I get the basic knowledge. I would appreciate any advice.Thanx in advance

Ok Up for Sale are a Citation X Autopilot panel made by Honywell also used on teh DASH 8-300 and Hawker 800XP, and also For Sale 3 of the pedestal panels found on the CJ1,CJ2, and Citation ULTRA and Bravo the pic I attach is from a Citation Excel but not much the difference on the pedestal of the other Citation Jets, The Citation X autopilot panel is $35 + Shipping and the Other Citation panels are $10 each if you want the whole Pedestal panels total of 3 (one Panel not shown please mail me for Pics) you can have them for $28 + Shipping, that would be half a pedestal of a Citation excellent for a little cockpit project please mail me at [email protected] if you are…

Well, I was diagraming what is to become my new throttle quadrant when I came up with a rather simple question. Let me premise this by saying I'm not horribly electrically minded and this is the first thing I've really ever built.My question is this.... I was going to setup two pots opposing each other like this:|- -| since they are opposing isn't the resistance of one going to be increasing while the other decreasing? I want to do this to save space between the levers. Is the way to overcome this problem by setting the opposite settings in fsuipc on one? Any help is appreciated.JeffAside - I'll try to post some pictures once the building actually commences...I'm …

Hi, I am currently working on Auto yoke using 12VDC motor, along with force feeback. What I am doing now is trying to find any kind of information on driver circuits or a schematic that can show how I can wiring up/connecting toward to 12VDC stepper motor. I am looking for any components that can "invert" the motor into bipolar since DC motor can only go direct one way. I am trying to find any information that can input the ideas in order for me to build one. I spend two nights searching through google.com,yahoo.com and none of inquiries I am looking for has such details that explain the exactly information I am looking for. I also hope I could find any mechnaical lin…

Below some info on how you can make your home-build yoke feel more realistic. Most force feedback joysticks use small electro motors that will try to move the stick in x and y direction via gears. The electronics of those sticks can be used for adding the same thing to your yoke. To make it feel realistic, the forces need to be much higher (esp elevator). I bought a Logitec Wingman Force 3D (USB),opened it up and measured & tracked the electronics diagram. (See below simplified diagram) This stick uses 100K potmeters for the 4 axis, so connecting your external yoke potmeters for elevator, aileron, throttle and rudder is no problem. The totally 11 switches are in row/c…

Anyone know the distance from the rear of the pedestal (gravity gear area)directly up to the overhead? Measurement can be from the flightdeck floor or the pedestal panels.Looked here, http://www.simpit.de/a320dim/page_01.htm , but no luck.Thanks,Richard

Hi all.I didn't know whether to post this picture in the other thread or place it here. Anyway, here is a shot of the panel after it was power coated & more TRC gauges installed. Enjoy.I probably wouldn't have built this if it hadn't been for this forum & the Simpits Home Cockpit Org. Regards,JimOK, let's try again to get the picture.

no one seems to be answering (or viewing the question for that matter) so I turn to this crowd....OK, so I'm finally getting my three older pc's setup to run wideview in my garage (I've settled on a b17 as my aircraft of choice for this "cockpit")I've downloaded some scenery for the Omaha area, and it requires the Texture2.02 file pack. So I've found that and downloaded it, however there's no readme of any sort. So, does anyone remember back to their FS98 years to help me get this package installed?

I'm building a three-engine throttle quadrant with flap & speed brake levers based on the how-to article at http://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/howto/throt.htmI'm trying to come up with a way to increase the friction of the levers. Since it will be a full size replica, the weight of the levers will overcome the resistance that the potentiometers would provide and they wouldn't stay in place.I'll be using a 1/4" diameter aluminum rod as the axis for the gears which the levers will be attached to. I was thinking of using compression springs to provide a side load to add friction. I'd place them between the gears & the aluminum flats through which the rod pas…

Guys, I am looking for Orange/Amber or Yelloish color 7 segment digit displays for MCP. I tried Mouser, they didnt have any. I tried All Electronics, They only have red color. I tried DigiKey, but I am putting it in alternative, because the size .3 amber/orange or yellow display cost $1.849 something each, and I request for 40 single displays which cost me $75 dollars total. I didn't want to be stupid enough to pay for it, until I could find cheap one. I do know any few electronics vendors sells displays for .50 each, do you or has anyone know any of it? If so, post me the website, or phone nbrs
