Hi everybody!
I have been pretty inactive the last year due to illness in my family... So the project is still the same , maybe some software updates but that is about it.
This year i hope to do some more building and improving of the Dove!

Hi everybody!
I have been pretty inactive the last year due to illness in my family... So the project is still the same , maybe some software updates but that is about it.
This year i hope to do some more building and improving of the Dove!
Here is a small picture of the current status of the project.
It looks the same , kinda, but a lot has been done!

Hello everybody!
It appears my pictures are all gone and photobucket is charging me 400 dollars per year to make em re appear .... i am not going to do this.
I will look into other means !
Sorry for this.....
Apparently photobucket have changed their minds!! the pictures are visible again so i will upload more news soon!
So it has been quite a while!
Lots of things have been done, most small but some large updates!
i will post pictures soon off all!
the pc has been upgraded with a gtx 1080 videocard,
Now running p3dV4 and running very nicely!
but the biggest small update is the original DH-104 elevator trimwheel! i almost had to buy a dove cockpit for it but that now has a great new owner and i have the wheel, and it is working.
The other great updates are thanks to the guys of flightillusion! ( no no sponsoring !!)
They have helped me out a lot! with getting the whiskey compass to run and i bought the bendix radio/ autopilot set of them witch is very nice indeed!!! Also the support i am getting is always very good!
Next post will have pictures!
Hi every body,
As promised some update pics:
Thanks to a great tip from a friend from the uk we got hold of the elevator trimwheel and other great dove parts:

And Matthijs from Flightillusion (great dutch flightsim hardware company) has helped me out again with some very nice radio sets and other gauges. I will do a review on that later , but for now some pictures:

The great thing is that they can customize all products and also make any gauge you like! I am very happy withe the results!

I posted in this thread many years ago but I never forgot your project. Finally checking in again after years of hiatus. It’s the coolest and best home cockpit project I’ve ever seen. Glad to see that it came along nicely in the recent years! Would love to see it live.
