Hello, everyone.I have a projector with metal halide light bulbs that is getting dim and I will need to replace the lamp. Do any of you have any experience wit rebuilding these, and where and what part is needed?The new lamp is around $600.00 and I can probably get a new projector for that price now days. I should be able to replace just the bulb, this is 160 W metal halide. Thanks, TV

With the notice on the front page of remote cockpit sharing via the gates.to system (http://www.gates.to/ - can't access at the moment due to high traffic) I see no reason why it couldn't be utilised in a single person multiple PC setup instead...Could offer full synchronised view and guage sharing across a multi pc setup...

Does anyone have any information (or even Dirk) on when the new version of FSBus will be released?I am holding off building the FSdisplay board.If it's months, I will just go ahead, but if it is only days/weeks, I will wait.Anyone?David

Hi All:I do not know how I connect the leds to the FSLED card. It is a plug or is a switch? Need adicional power?... Can someone diagram the circuit. Best regards

does anyone have any experiance with the Flight illusion gauges? They look pretty neat on their website and I think they are rather new, since there was a press release on dimflight network just today.I found them at http://www.flightillusion.com . The design is much slimmer than simkits and they seem to be cheaper. Who has bought them already?Should I invest in this technology? because a full cockpit would cost about 2000 euro worth of gauges, which is a lot cheaper than simkits or the real cockpit panels?and what about seagull simulation instruments? It seems that all of them are dutch companies. Are they one and the same?

Guys I remember back then, someone shared .pdf manual page for B777. and I forgot the webaddress. I m looking for something that explain the prodecure or how CDU and ECIAS operates. Any Ideas?

I've spent many hours surgically swapping hardware, and so far I'm pretty happy with the outcome! Feel free to drop by my site and check out the latest photos.http://www.777Simulator.comhttp://www.t-b-x.com/prather/777project/ne...05/P1010010.JPGhttp://www.t-b-x.com/prather/777project/ne...05/P1010021.JPGhttp://www.t-b-x.com/prather/777project/ne...t/overhead6.JPGA photo from the January photo setRoberthttp://777simulator.com

Hi all, It's been nearly 12 months since I started searching for the sub panel light plates for my Queenair A65 80 sim project. I have found one, it's not quite the right model but nevertheless I will be using it. I still need the centre,captain's and start and co pilot's upper CB panels.I've amassed much in the way of pics and literature but the only supplier(an aircraft parts supplier in Kansas) won't talk to me.I've looked into having them made locally,

EDIT: NEVER MIND - I FOUND THE PULL DOWN MENUI have just spent the day fooling around with a number of monitors and a new LCD monitor. My intention is to run my instrument panel on the LCD, the outside view on a larger CRT, and radios etc on a third monitor. All monitors are at 1280 x 1240. When in FS, I swap all the windows to their proper monitors in windowed mode, then switch to full screen. I notice that all but the main window (one identified as primary monitor in the Windows control panel) immediatly drop to the lowest resolution possible. Is it possible to adjust something in the config file to force all monitors into the same resolution?I love the great outside …

If anyone is looking for old time knobs or "T" handles you might try MSC (mscdirect.com).They are a large machinist direct mail order company in the US. When you go on the site you will bee able to search the catalog. Go to page 1145.John
