The Home Cockpit Support Forum

Hi,If you're a licenced user of the Level-D, go and visit their Product Support Forum for very interesting news:http://www.leveldsim.com/forums/forum_post...p?TID=9822&PN=1Please note that curent version of FSCONV (4.9) is not fully compatible with the new SDK in Level-D SP3. I'm working very hard upgrading FSCONV to version 5.0.There's so much new in the SP3 SDK, almost every switch in the panel can be controlled digitally, and the number of lights/annunciators is probably more then your hardware interface cards can handle. SP3 will give us years and years work, building and exptending our home flightdecks!Will let you know ofcourse when FSCONV 5.0 is ready for (free…

I'm not getting any reply on the OpenCockpit website (forum) so I post it here.I'm doing some tests here with the USB-Stepper card.Let me show you my SOIC code to start off with: //****************************** Var 0000, Value 0 // Initialization { V0001 = 255 // sets the servo position to step 255 of possible 1021} Var 0001, Link USB_SERVOS, Device 40, Output 1, PosL 1, PosC 512, PosR 1023, Type 1 //****************************** I save it as ssi file and push reload on the SOIC main window to set that value into the servo. To change I set the code to V0001 = 1 or V0001 = 1022 or anything else.When I set the servo value to 511 it should be centered, right ? Then I take…

Gentlemen ,This question is for those using IOCARDS .I learnt reading the IOCARDS site that we need to know the offsets of the keys , lights and everything we want to use with IOCARDS.Is this true ? and those panels which we don't know the offsets ? is there any chance to use IOCARDS without to know the offsets ?Thanks and regards Alberto Kunzel

Hi guys -need help on this . I want to go to a site where they have a lot of screen shots to build a cockpit. I don't want some thing like -a King Air panel cause that means you always have to fly the King all the time and nothing else. I want run my 19in. flat JUST for the what ever panel i use in FS 2004 but thinking of getting a projection screen just for the outside view, so i guess it would be set behind the 19 in. is kind of what i want to do. I bought sheets of solid oak ply wood to make an encloser by my brother who is a carpenter is gonna buld it for me and have a car seat also for it . Now i run only Precison Flight Controls--have the yoke and the throttle quad…

hello all,I am working on converting the ASI by Flight illusion's module these day. Just disassembly the ASI and leave only the essential gears and stick. This time I intend to make the airspeed needle move only. Will leave the mach limit needle, mach number window and speed big untouch.Enclose the photo here:http://alkit.fotopic.net/c968379.htmlI will get the module by next week probably. Will post up more when have any new progress.Thank youAlkit

hello dear alli am not moving forward with my project, the construction of the B747 Classic cockpit project, mainly due to the costs of parts getting incredibly expensive(which was not the case about 2-3 years ago)I am now looking for sponsors (private persons, companies, airlines) who might be willing to sponsor my challenge, who will be rewarded (if wanted) with a logo on my main page (website) and link to their respective page.If anyone is interested in joining my project, feel free to contact mesincerely yoursMarc MullerB747ClassicprojectLuxembourg

i want to venture into this cockpit building thing and im need a pilots seat, there was a company that puts out a newspaper of aircraft parts listed, i forget who that is, does anyone have anything/know any company like that?it seems like my searches just don't come up with muchi want to build something very small, i live in an ampartment, it has to be able to move and i want to base it around the dhc2 (beaver) i do mostly bush type flying/charter flying, etc - i want switches etc, but the main display is will still be just a single monitor (19" lcd flat) for now, something fairly simple - that would allow me to growthanksciao!Brian S

Yeah.. I'd like to have one of these setups - http://www.magictouch.com/whatuserssay.htmlJust wondering if anyone's tried a touch screen.Andrew

The post about the ATR-72 glass cockpit reminded me about something I have wondered about before.What with fsview and fsuipc and the like, isn't there any way a wrapper or interface could be done to allow xml guages to run standalone across a network as clients?I know the rendering implications are more than just the xml, but, as the ATR-72 glass cockpit and others prove, there are talented programmers out there...

Looking at the various options for using multiple PCs and monitors to build up a cockpit.Anyone tried/used the lan view option from within Flight Sim Manager? Does it work in the same way as WideView? Does it allow the panels to be used on the client aircraft?Also, anyone tried/using the gates.to fs.net stuff? That seems to allow a single user with a multiple PC lan setup to run the same aircraft and flight over each and thus operate controls and display guages on any of the systems? Seems like it requires an internet registration check before each use though which I never like since they may decide to pull the plug oneday.Any other options/comments?

Hi All,I have just got my LDS 767 L&R Engine Start switches working, so that they 'lock' in the GND position, but flick out to Auto after the engine starts.http://www.chrisjg.com/Sim/the_panel.jpgThe PartsI use three main components on a normal rotary.http://www.chrisjg.com/Sim/components.jpgA small solenoid, that locks a shaft inside it. The solenoid is glued to a small piece of bakelite (circuit board stuff) to prevent the heat from getting to close to the plastic. The solenoid is connected through a phidget board, and 5V power connections. It reads a FSUIPC offset, and turns on when required.http://www.chrisjg.com/Sim/solenoids.jpgA small spring loaded switch th…

Ok, so IOCards USB-servo and USB-stepper are stand alone cards.I read the servo can only do 180

Does anyone have current information on the status of IFS? Emails are not being answered. Regards,Richard

Hi, anybody knows if bourns ECW1J-B24-BC0024 is OK to connect to FSBUS classics FSKEY , soft 2.43?. If OK, the encoder is wiring directly to FSKEY?Thanks in advance .Alberto MaligneArgentina

Just wondering if anyone can point me to a list or part of the SDK that lists and explains all of the data capable of being captured from FS.Any help appreciated-thxAndrew

An article over at the other place pointed me to www.desktopaviator.com who seem to have some very flexible and competitively priced products. Anyone here using them, or can comment on the quality, customer service etc.?--Bryn

I have one and it works flawless !!!I use all ten assignments that it offers and i just bought a second one to add ten more functions for my next attempt atbuilding.Lots of functions like nav-gps,pitot heat, de-icers,fuel pumps, engine start valves,autothrottle,flight director,avionics master and so many more can be modeled very very easily.I …
