    737 Cockpit HUD



    Interesting to actually see this implemented.

    Do you guys have any idea how he overlayed the NGX HUD onto the glass?

    I don't think he's putting anything on the glass. It's just for show. The glass hinge has a micro switch that the triggers the hud to appear on screen or turn off.

    You can see the hud disappear when he starts to flip it up.

    Ah yeah, I missed the last part of the video.

    Would be great if someone actually implemented a real-life HUD in their home cockpit!

    Re: 737 Cockpit HUD

    Actually I am in the process to build a Hud system. I use a semitransparent glas formed in the shape of the real combiner and use a simple Tft monitor placed ca 20 cm behind the combiner. First results are encouraging. However I wont go into further detail until I built the system into my new shell. The cost for the combiner glas is about 60 Euros.

    I use PM software. In GC there is a HUD option en lieu de PFD.

    Hi Andy
    I know it is a little late of a reply to your post. Nevertheless, go to my homepage at
    Www.virtualpilot.jimdo.com
    and you will find a subpage with the details I have collected so far.
    Hopefully I can manage more progress and eventual completion of the thing.
    Regards
    Chris

    Re: 737 Cockpit HUD

    Here is a little progress I made with my HUD System.
    First of all it was painstaking to build a fairly recognisable overhead unit. It is wooden and preliminary fitted with plexi, later I will replace the plexi with my beam splitter glass.
    The most difficult Problem I have is to align the projected HUD imagery with the outside world. As you know, in Microsoft´s FS the straight down Vision is somewhat to the right. The glass, however, is positioned in line with your straight view.
    I am sure there is a workaround for this. I will keep you updated.
