(Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
HI there all, I very new to the forums, I will be brief and quick
I started Boeing 777 simulator project a while a go, So I decided to do it ( without knowing what program or how is everything hook up)
Guess what I still don't know so I I might as around ( sorry for being a newbies)
My plan was I will built the 2 : simulator
MK1: will be built like replica of the real 777 cockpit but some equipment will come from Boeing 737 (since the part is more easier to find.)
The overhead panel, panestal, CDU will be touch screen based.use with PMDG, just to see thing get going first
MK2: will be truly true scale from 777, but everything in detail take time and money so it's like a long year project
Also I still very unclear about the IO CARD, How do you guys connect with that? Any way appreciated your help and input
Thanks
Kit
here are some first photo

Re: (Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
May you tell me where you got all the measurements?
Re: (Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
Nice work and glad to see you are taking time to plan and build in phases. That really helps... especially using 3D modeling. For IO, I use Arduino cards. There is a bit of a learning curve, but they are very versatile and affordable cards. I also use Phidget IO cards. Pretty simple to hook up but a bit more expensive. There are quite a few other IO options that others can suggest.
Best wishes with your project and you're definitely off to a great start!

Trying to get to work with Projector, but lost the feel of the side
so going for 48 Inch TV LED instead, but it's kinda low, so I make the TV place holder for now (tempolary use)

Here what's it look like when it's install

Now I just having problem with the Screen, So When I try to undock the screen for the instrument. It's very lag and slow so I gonna get MATROX TRIPLEHEAD2GO for Virtual Screen
What's Your guys solution?

Re: (Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
Holy, How did you do that?, Looks very good!
I am just wondering did you use a CNC machine for this? I don't want to spend millions of dollars on a cnc machine though
Re: (Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
Herman, Nope nothing that I use it's no CNC Machine yet, just couple of guys measurement and cutting

Right now I am worry about finishing, either painting or FORMICA finishing
Re: (Another) Started 777 Simulator Project
