Are there anyone who ordered and received cockpit pieces by this house?A friend of my ordered a whole 737 cockpit sending money many months ago, but until now no replay about delivery date.Any feedback will be very very appreciate.Giodoca

Hi.Due to a family tragedy I have to sell my 737NG SIM.The price I hade in mind is 2/3 of what I payed for the parts, if someone would like to buy the hole setup I could go down to 50% of the original price.I dont intend do earn any money on this, so the price for a specific part or the hole setup is always arguably.Here is a list of the items I have in my SIM:From Flightdecksolutions:B737NG Signature MIP/Main Package(Not IBL).2x FDS-EFIS-NG (B737NG EFIS Panel w/ IBL).FDS-MCP-NG (B737NG Mode Control Panel) Signature IBL.B737NG Main Hardware.B737NG Landing Gear Mechanism.FDS-SYS3 System Interface Card .From Flyengravity:1X 737NG CDU/FMS.( CDU Bay from lausitzaviation inclu…

http://www.simknobs.com/New kid on the block, so it seems. Transilluminated knobs for your overhead + gear lever knobs !Check them out ... they look good I think. And the prices are visible if you klick on 737 or 747 etc (not on e.g. "LG-knob")

Dear FS friends,at the moment I am displaying my FS screen on an 19" crt screen. I time ago I bought an beamer to display my FS but neverused it. Now what will be the best method to use my beamer for displaying FS? Do I need one monitor to display my panel and the beamer for the scenery view? Or only the beamer? Do I need mirrors and sheets?Please help with this issue.Kind RegardsKim

I've just replaced my *old* (very old) original ch pedals (non pro) with USB pro ones. But I'm not entirely satisfied with them to be honest (from searching I must be the only one!), the problem which has immediately struck me (and I've only spent an hour or so using them) is the horrible horrible "detent" at the center position, it just feels wrong and makes it IMO really hard to get a smooth transition between rudder positions. Additionally they feel much too easy to move not really requiring much pressure at all, they can be moved easily with one finger, which again makes it *really* difficult to get nice smooth control with your big sloppy inaccurate leg muscles pus…

In several Aircraft add-ons it is possible to undock the FMC/MCDU,but I also want to undock the actual FMC screen separately (to place it on my hardware MCDU).So the FMC frame with the buttons and Line-select keys should remain on the other monitor.How do I do this?PaulusP

So .. anyone knows what's the status with Ken from DakenSky ? Is he OK and is this project still going ?

Hi,My new (free) tool LEKSEECON is almost ready, more news at my website page New?! The Manual is already available.Regards,Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Hi,this is my attempt to build a replica of the autopilot module of the ATR 72-500.Keyboard panel and keys were made and engraved by John Russell (you can see its home cockpit in my website, Cockpits section).Many things are missing but key functions, CRS, HDG, ALT, VS and NAV1 selectors (rotary encoders CTS-288) are fully working.The entire module (including displays, rotary encoders and Master Card) is managed by a program that I developed according with the FCOM.Soon the wood structure will be painted in black.It's really a good sensation not to use computer keyboard and mouse to activate the autopilot functions ehehI hope you like it, regards.Bob

Gentlemen ,I need URGENTLY to know the offset for AP Altitude and AP VS of the above airplane , I will pay to whom get those offsets.Thanks and regardsAlberto Kunzel

I want to build some radio panels for my A320. The ready built ones are too wide and FDS are not selling one at the moment. Can anyone point me to a wiring tutorial and any other tips please?RegardsBarrywww.a320sim.com

Dear members,Recently I've encoutered a strange problem- when I open one of the simulator's windows to undock them to another screen, there is a vertical strech limit for some reason. I can strech the windows horizontaly without a limit, but I cant strech them vertically enough. I must resize the FMC in order to view it properly in my CDU display screen (5" LCD screen).It appears to happen even in the main screen, without the second one powered on.Thank you all.

Is it possible to retrieve the physical position of a switch? I would like to use one set of rotaries to control NAV1&2, COM1&2 by employing a select switch, but FSBUS has trouble (at least on startup) recognizing where the switches are.Thanks in advance,Eric

Hi all,I'm building the core computer system for my Lear 45 simulator. My plan is to utilize custom built (by me) systems for this application. The system will eventually be driving the following displays:3 1024/768 DLP Projectors for forward, 60deg L and 60deg R views3-4 17

Hi!News on my homepage!See pictures of my painted Boeing seats, and some infos about the ongoing work of the column mechanism of my simulator.Best wishes from Vienna!Hans G.

Hi,asume i buy this touchscreen: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/10-4-TFT-LCD-Touch...1QQcmdZViewItem Would i be able to use this screen as second monitor to display, for example, my flight simulator gps on? If so how would realise that? Would a second monitor decrease my FPS?Thanks for reading.

Looking at adding another card to my second PC to drive some monitors to display guages.Anyone used either the G200 or G450 quads? The G450 initially looks better because of the newer GPU and the 32MB of video RAM per output as opposed to the 8MB per output of the G200 but the G200 quad uses four G200 GPUs, i.e. one for each output as opposed to the single G450 GPU covering the four outputs.Not sure if it would make any real difference for displaying guages anyway but if anyone has compared the two then any input would be appreciated...Thanks.

What would the FSBUS NG IO Port A Bit 7 translate to as a CID/RID if I wanted to define a control? (It works in FSADMIN.)C, CLOuterMark, DOUT, CID, RID ,, 0, 0Thank you in advance.Eric

I'm working on my 182IFR cockpit annuciator lights with FSBUS CDK and I was wondering what others have done. For L/R low fuel I set the low limit for 7.9 or value approx 1378000 at offsets 0x0b7c/0x0b94. I am able to test by changing fuel quanity. For the 'VOLT' light I'm associating it to the alternator x3101, although it's really not a fault indicator then.For the OIL PRESS, I am using the Engine 1 OP x08ba with a limit at 16384 - it is not the right limit, however, because FSBUS thinks idling with OP<55 is a fault.I am unsure what the other space is on the annunciator panel.Thanks in advance for any input!Eric

Hello fellow fsbus users.Today I connected my pedestal to my fsbus hardware.I upgraded to CDK. In fact everything works as it should.But..I see almost every minute a resetting of fsbus (displays show their CID). After that most displays come back to live, but some do that only after I turn a rotary (connected to that display via the software).This only happens when I push/ turn button on my pedestal or when I change something in FS with my mouse. It does not occur spontaneously.I first thought it could perhaps be caused by the clutter of all the flatcables I have in my pedestal, but resetting does not occur after I close cdk. With the current still on my fsbus and turning…
