how can use the flight console jeppesen fs 200 with fs9 ?Its a serial port device .any ideas ,software or any thing else at all?

That's it... the yokes are completed and temporarily placed on the columns. I said temporarily because I will maybe buy real ones. And if it is done I will sell both I built. To be confirm...Photos on the site...Al

Folks,My sim is still in boxes but I wanted to express my joy of finding some real parts again. I'm at 13 vs 18.I have found 13 of the 31 real parts I'm searching for. However, only 9 or 10 of the remainder I concider important to have.An overvieuw:http://users.skynet.be/porreke/blogger/upl...Gots-720170.jpgThe greens I got, the reds I still need. The things not colored are either: not important / easy to DIY / have to be DIY because of personal preferences.The most recent parts I found are a second F70/100 yoke (hope to trade them for real F50's in the future if possible, if not, I won't mind). Also I'm very excited about having found a gear-lever module with anuncia…

Hi all,I just wanted to announce another new "big project":We (a team of two) have just started to develop something new for home flight simulation and cockpit builders. To be exact, it's going to be a modular system to simulate all kind of avionics, based on latest microcontroller technology.The whole project is done within a diploma thesis and the first prototype will be ready in spring/early summer 2007 - we do not really know yet whether this project will become public after the diploma presentation (depends on if everything works the way it should :-)), but we are planing to publish the whole thing for other sim-builders out there some day ;-)More information can be …

Dear Friends, I don't know how to configure FsBus with 2 computers;I have 2 PC connected with a LAN:PC1 has Fs2004 and FSUIPCPC2 has Fsbus's software and hardware on the serial port COM1 ( switches,leds,etc...)What have I to do to make it working ?Thank you for your helpFabio Italy

I don't know if I imagined this but a couple of months ago, I could have sworn there was a ready made 737 throttle quad that was colored like the colors on a 747. I thought I seen it on the Goflight INC. website but I don't see it there. Does anyone know what I'm talkin about?

I`m looking for dimenssions of Boeing 737 NG Autopilot and Efis Panel? Does anyone know where I can find such informations?

I am a beginner. My plan is making a GA cockpit such as C172 and my first goal will be making a full radio stack such as RS372 type. I have inspected I/O cards and FsBus system to understand for choosing which one will be easier for me. FsBus is closer to what on my mind is. But there are some items that I could not understand. Before starting I will need some help from experienced guys. I am sorry if my questions are so stupid things...Answers will ensure me to understand better the FsBUS system.- Radio(1-2)/ON/OFF/TEST switch is not functional by mouse click on the radio stack for some aircrafts (C172), but it is functional for some aircrafts (socata TB-20 GTII-not a or…

Just updating people on my current progress with my NMK "No More Keyboards" Panel project. This is an aluminium panel built into an MDF case (which was completed today. It should (if it works) control various functions around the cockpit using Simkits 32 Digital input controller. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/169904.jpgCheersRhydianwww.cessnasim.blogspot.com

I'm keen on building a home simulator based on the Maddog MD-80 but I'm finding it difficult to get any cockpit dimensions.I'm also wondering about how to do the instuments and panels as nobody seems to have done this aircraft before....any advice?

I have been looking throug Fs9 for a keystroke for the electric fuel(Cessna) pump to make a toggle switch assignment but cannot find it. Does anyone know so I can assign it through FsUipc?Thanks Bob

I just received my GoFlight GF 166 Radio Module and it is sure nice to have actual knobs to turn for frequencies. I am wondering if anyome has schematics for other modules such as transponder, ADF,DME,Audio Panel etc. If so I would appreciate if someone could send the files for those.I would like to try and build them if possible.Thanks .. any info appreciated. ...

hii have constracted mjoy16 everythink was ok no solder faults.i succefully write the flash program to the microcontroller,connected to the pc and it was succesfully recognised as a stick.later i connected some pot's and started change the values of them until suddenly the coil caugh fire and i emediatly disconnect it, i use another one and the same happend so i put a wire instead of the coil but somethink else happend one of the pots start to burn thats it. Please help me!

Hi Folks:I just recently updated my home cockpit by adding another super computer for scnery and using Wideview. I use a second computer for my cockpit panels and run them both through Wideview. My outside view/scenery computer has the following specs:- AMD Athalon PC - 1.5 g RAM- Sapphire ATI PCI-Express 512mb video card I get great FPS's on both PC's (50 FPS) but my problem is no matter how I play with the AA, AF and screen resolution settings on the scenery PC I can't get rid of 'shimmering' on buildings and airports when I fly towards them. Would it be worth while trying a new PCI-e graphics card to see if this gets rid of the shimmers ? Any suggestions on a real nice…

I have tried this website in the Czech Republic (and it looks great) but their payment methods are pretty dodgy (no on-line payment system). Plus I never recieve replies to my emails. I phoned them but the person on the other end spoke no English. http://www.propagteam.cz/katalog_pristroje_en.aspDoes anyone know where I can get similar items, anywhere in the world, and that actually allow online payments and do reply to emails?many thanks, Keith.

HiFor a number of years I have been very s-l-o-w-l-y building a Cessna 172 cockpit using Simkits's fantastic gauges. I decided I wanted a slight change of scenery and started a smaller project to keep myself occupied. I was sick of using the keyboard when I was using FS, so, after seeing Simkits' 32 input controller i designed a small panel of switches to control various cockpit functions. I just thought I would share my progress with my fellow sim-builders. I designed it using Sketch-up and Photoshop and I am quite happy with the results. I just need to build a case for it out of MDF and then I can start wiring all the switches up. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/169…

I am attempting to have the best of both worlds. Ever since getting the TH2Go and the TrackIR I am in simulator heaven. It is as close to having a 360 visual as you will get, this side of $10,000.However, I still want to use the gauges inside my cockpit. So, I tried to set up the TH2Go and, using a separate graphics card drive two monitors for the gauges. I can go to a windowed view and drag the gauges to the external monitors. However, when I go back into full screen (meaning three screens) the external monitors lose the gauges. The view is replaced with my desktop.Does anyone know of a workaround? Or do I need to go to a two computer WidevieW setup?

Hi Guys,With Dirk new release and updated site,it looks like we FSBUS usersmay have much to look forward to.I know updates in the past have been slow and are sure Dirk had good reasons.With his new website he has a Forum section which could be very useful for conveying our probs to him.The main thrust of this thread is to inform you that the new CDKhas an option under HELP to DONATE to Dirk.Its very easy for us to take advantage of others generosity,not on purpose but we tend to get side tracked.So can i urge you present/past or future users to donate,even if it only a Euro or 2.We all will benefit greatly from this.Bearing in mind that there is obligation for Dirk to do …

I have gotten some really great help on this forum and appreciate the experience here.My information gathering so far has been a learning curve and I thought it would be good to get some general feedback from the experts.I am attempting to build a GA cockpit and here is what I have so far.I am using a CH Yoke and Rudder pedals(not the USB models) and have ordered a GoFlight 166 Radio module as well as Desktop Aviator 1020 Avionics panel, which is a 5 position key and switches for lights ,pitot heat,fuel pump.I already have the Desktop Aviator USB to 15 interface for any other switches I may need.I have several old flight instruments from a ground based simulator which ha…

OK I confess - this bug has bitten me badly and I now want to build my own pit (an AH-64D). so can anyone please help where I can get the small number (22 or so) of the military style knobs - the small grey knobs and the pointers (both with the black line and a white outline) that I need please?Preferably without having to order one thousand of the blasted things! :-)Toggle switches and rockers I have on order from RS Electronics...Cheers

Please, anyone who has fully running FSBus NG cockpit, write complete data about boards (COM, I/O and DISPLAY). I mean the boards numbers (i belive it's like the release date) and the current version of programs to flash on Atmega, and FSBus Admin and FSRouter (or release date). I suspect that most of problems are based on uncompatibility between programs released in different time periods. This will help in further works and will solve some problems.PLEASE DO NOT NEGLECT THIS POST! DO YOUR BEST ! Best regardsDaimon

Hey gang.. I need some help here....I have been running along on my Dell 2405 24" LCD for a while now and Love it. I have seen that some of you have been running multiple displays so I thought I'd go ahead and bite the bullet and order a pair of 20" 2007FP's to sit on either side of the 2405 to give a nice 3 panel wrap around display for FSX.Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have the 2405 on it's own card (a 7900GT) and then the 2 20's hooked to a second 7900GT (not in SLI mode!). When I go into the video card settings, I see the NView stuff, but it only lets me stretch the display across any 2 monitors hooked to a single card, not across monitors …

I have some drawings that show the top of the autopilot 100 cm off the floor. If I recall though the outside view is actually below the ap somewhat. Does anyone know how high the monitors should be off the floor?
