Re: prosimparts radio modules
I have connected the leds on 12V through a 10k potentio. That is the most simple route I could think of. The 7 digits are also connected on a 5V loop through a potentio. The 12V and 5V are supplied by an old powerunit from a spare computer.
I too am thinking about the sismo board. If you do the math, it looks like the cheapest solution, and I like the Ethernet connection. If your are not into programming I would go for plug and play, but I like the software side of things

Re: prosimparts radio modules
You can use the CP Flight modules without the MCP, but you'll need the USB dimmer panel I believe.
CP Flight modules are the best ones, but they are expensive! I'm heading down that road, starting with the MCP PRO and two EFIS PRO. Radios will come later.
One important reason why I chose the CP flight radios, is the fact that you can control the dimming with the unit in the set. another reason is the audio control panels. WOW!
I have gotten my MCP PRO, and it is a fantastic product! Expensive, but well worth the money.
Depends on the level of realism you're after, I guess.

Re: prosimparts radio modules
I think I might just cry -- each radio module cost between 200-400 euro. We need several of these units to complete the pedestal. Pedestal units by itself can cost up to 999 USD (FDS). Thats a lot of money just for communication!
I have also heard the Audio Selection Panel in FSX also doesn't work all the time? For example, there are many times I can't get the ident code to silent on the PMDG NGX even though I've clicked on the relevant button.

Re: prosimparts radio modules
Just ordered me the COM, NAV, and Transponder panels. Decided I'm going to with the Sismo cards as well since with this setup I'll only need 1 Motherboard to run the 27 7-Segment displays and switches. Leaves me plenty of expansion room too.

Re: prosimparts radio modules
Got my modules in today and they look fantastic.
Even the packing was great. Everything was nicely packed in custom made foam padding so everything sat nicely in the box and couldn't shift in transit overseas.
Here's the cabling you get as well.
Wires for switches on the left, wires for displays in the middle, and a daisy chained LED strand for backlighting.
The back of the panels have circular holes for the LED lights. Great stuff!
I sent payment on July 11, parts shipped from Belgium on July 24 and arrived at my door today, July 31.
Also, I got an email on the 24 that due to a mistake from a supplier some parts were out of stock which delayed my order. He bumped my up to faster shipping to make up for it and all on his own. Outstanding seller.
