Hi AllI was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase Glass Cockpit software for EFIS-84 or similar. I am building a Kingair B200 and need to setup glass gauges for the EADI and EHSI. Project Magenta have nothing suitable for me.Perhaps I could develop my own. Can any one help.Thanks in advanceMike

Has anyone successfully purchased and received a 7xx throttle or any type of hardware from VRAC (www.airplanestuff.com)I ask this because I have money sitting waiting to buy the throttle and board, but want feedback first on if this company is genuine or a "take your money and split" type racket.Thanks for the info

Hi Guys!Would like to know of anyone wants to sell their Flightdeck Solutions Elite 737NG CDU.Thanks for your attention.

Hi everyone. Long time no post.I have a good friend who developed an authentic yoke modeled after the real 737 yoke. Looks and feels real to me, but I'm not into commercial aviation.If anyone is interested, he's put it up for sale on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...:MEWA:IT&ih=014

Hi all!I

I am looking for all dims of a B767 cockpit... If you have any idea where I will find it would be greatly appreciated...

For thoses interrested in following the evolution of my project "B737NG cockpit" there are a lot of new details and photos. You will see the MIP almost completed with the FDS annunciators and the beautiful FDS IBL panels working. Also been added the new Opencockpit MCP panel...Your comments always welcome...Al

Dear friends, I like to make my simulaion world more realistic. I have a projector and I am planning to buy an 22" wide screen monitor. My plan is to use the monitor for the panel and the projector for the ouside cockpit view. I am only flying in 2-D mode. Has anyone a good idea to realize this setup? Does anyone has comment on this setup? Maybe it is not a good idea so please let me know.Best RegardsKim

I have made the decition to build my own airliner cockpit, however I have no idea how I should begin my search for a supplier/s.I have turned to project magenta with the same topic but decited to post this here as well should anyone read this a be able to direct me on course.Thank you for your helpArni ArnasonIceland

Hi all,Just wanted to share this with you.Finally, my 767 FMC came to life. After several months of delays, I managed to get it assembled and working this past weekend.Still not perfect but will do the job.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/179521.jpgFly safe,George DorkofikisAthens, Hellashttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/811520/1704.png

Hi,I just want to notify to all the people who downloaded my glass cockpit that I'm currently reworking the whole set of instruments to add these new features:- window resizing: you can resize the window by dragging the borders or, pressing F9 with the arrow keys, you can set the size with a step of 1 pixel.The new size will be stored in the INI file.- window positioning: you can position the window with the mouse (as now) or pressing F11 and move the window with the arrow keys with a step of 1 pixel.The new position will be stored in the INI file.- window borders show/hide: pressing F12 you can hide borders or show them if they were previously hidden.I'm currently testin…

Just wondering if there was any development of a stepper card for FSBUSNG, either by dirk, or someone else using the FSBUS. I believe there was one for the original, but not yet on the NG.Thanks in advance for any replies.Rob.Melbourne Australia.

Hi!I am working on a small simpit project and I am currently focusing on the throttle. For this I need to find some good handles that are similar to the images attached. Worst case, I may try to use rubber door stoppers, but I would really like to find something better. I will most likely put a push button on the right throttle, to control the air brake.Does anyone have any ideas, where I can find something similar?Thanks!

I have some extra time on my hands, now that I'm retired, and I want to try to build an MCP to use with the LevelD 767.I'm having a heck of a time trying to find either a full-scale drawing or the actual dimensions.Can anyone here help me out with a possible location of where I can find this info?A CAD drawing with dimensions would be GREAT !!!Thanks guys...Jim

Hey guys,I need some serious help. I have a client who actually runs a virtual flight center in Southern California. He's been having some serious issues with his flight sim software (Eagle Sim) and wants to upgrade to something that is more commercially available.Currently, he's using some Win2k PC's, but the systems get bogged down and the graphics suffer. He has full sim cockpits, with Heads up and Heads down displays. Do you know of any flight sims that will support the HUD and HDD on separate monitors? Also, which flight sim would you recommend for doing modern combat sims, using the hardware listed below:Hotas flight stick and Cougar Throttle. Quite a few of th…

Have a look at Nordic Simulator Center's homepage http://www.dc10.no/We are now working on the MD80 procedure trainer.

Good Morning all.I have purchased the FSBUSNG boards from Rob Van Dijk and I'm about to start drilling and assembling. I have a retired Cessna 310L cockpit which I'm going to use.First-about the drilling. As the bits are so small they can't fit into a standard drill press and a smaller chuck is mounted in that. The problem is, that the small chuck is not straight (New). As a result the drill bits wander and I'm breaking them. I was thinking of using .6mm bits with a 3.2mm shank,as used in dremels and others. Does anyone know of any connections/links for suppliers of same. Australia suppier is preferred, but there is a supplier in england on EBAY if I have to. Any …

Hi,Version 1.8 of my free LEKSEECON program now also supports Level-D's COMM2 radio. It's great to have voice ATIS at COMM2 while the ATC controller is at COMM1!I have also written example SIOC files to build COMM1 and/or COMM2 radio's. There are several implementations possible: two dual rotaries, one single rotarie and one single rotarie with push button.There is even a version that supports as well COMM1 as COMM2 with the same hardware and a COMM1/COMM2 selector switch, also in three variants: two dual rotaries, one dual rotarie and one single rotarie with push button.Have Fun!Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Hi,Mick Wood has finished developing and testing his SIOC code for Level-D Overhead panel (98% coverage!!). His code is freely available for download at my website.Cheers, Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

As I said one week ago I made a tutorial on my site about how to modify a rotary switch to add an encoder with push button. So you can see it on my site in the section "Electronique"...Most, in the next days and weeks I should add many new items on my avancement. The site has not been updated since last spring, but I did not stop working on it. So many photos should be add soon...Alhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/178715.jpg

Hi,I just wanted to share with you all the pit that I have actually finished. I never thought the day would have come. It has been a dream of mine to make a pit of some realism. I have created a simple webpage to show off ideas that I have used in the pit. Hopefully it can help someone else.http://matthewmwohlford.googlepages.com/happy flying!Matt

Hello.I have noticed, that any PC mouse have at least 1 pair of UV-LED and a coupled phototransistor. If you also add a plastic wheel, you'll get a thing similar to optical encoder (like Grayhill's).There is a possibility to connect Grayhill encoders to FSBUG (with extra hardware). So, I think there must be a possibility to connect self-made optical encoders from old or dead PC mice too.The problem is that phototransistors in Grayhill encoders have common cathode (or common -, or common emitter), but phototransistors from mouse have common anode (or common +, or common collector) - see pic in attachment.As I'm not specialist in this area, I want to ask for advice. Could a…
