Everything ready to building Ilyushin Il-62

Well, even though I don't really understand exactly what you are doing I am finding your updates extremely interesting. Please try and post more photos when you start to get things pieced together.

Cheers

Hi Øyvind

Interesting move…

As Shawn I’m unsure where you’re going.
It seems you’re on a different planet than the rest of us so please make up a
bigger picture of what’s in your mind – not just fragments. It’s very confusing
trying to follow your path jumping from one planet to the next….

BTW – Z80 is an 8-bit processor (not 16) and I think I still have a few samples
around and a copy of CP/M operating system (back from 1976) if you need.
But you’ll need an 8” Floppy drive.

Thank you. I will buy new which is listed on Digikey.
I am calculating this
16-bit, not 8-bit because of 640*480, 16 cores of z80, 8 MB RAM and 18 MHz * 16 = 288 MHz. That should be enough to drive the system engine with some limits, workaround, and tricks. The MIPS is about equivalent as Pentium Pro at 175 MHz. I thinking that I will use Displayport for such and it will be black and white colors, But if I am able, trying 256 colors depth. Where to find Displayport interface ?

This looks a lot better with just 64 kilobyte executable than Playstation 4 with 8 gigabyte RAM with vector.
The cause:

They generate their content procedurally. i.e. they don't add 3d models, bitmaps, sample based audio-files,... but generate that from code or some low detail representation.

I know what they are using.


nVidia NV1 which is STG-2000 has processing power 350 MIPS. The z80 at 50 MHz processes 80 MIPS, multiply it with 12 for 18 MHz. 4 cores left for 50 MHz each, it gives 320 MIPS which is equivalent to Pentium at 170 MHz.
I thinking that the full flight simulator that is provided in '80s has slightly modified processor unit and they might are multi-core.

But first, I will try that on X-Plane. z80 project comes afterwards because I want to complete it with X-plane because it is a future project that updates regular, which my z80 will never update and it will be a stand alone flight simulator and no more. I have the documents about the aerodynamics on the Il-62 which I downloaded from the internet. With the height data, I will have ASCII file SRTM data into generate code such code, that's what I am thinking to do.

I am watching z80 because I do not know how to work with SDK with the instruments. So, I thinking, why not make a stand-alone application. And, it is difficult to learn to program USB, and whatever I have to do almost everything from scratch, but not with rendering engine and physics engine; therefore, I thinking why not programming a stand-alone application based on the documents that I have.

I examined to build CPU for flight simulator would take too long.

Update:

I explored about graphics processing unit with displayport.
NVIDIA support team said that it is possible to use displayport to control Stepper motor, switches, LED diodes, rotary encoders.

Update:
I have been sent e-mail to VESA about datasheet for displayport.

Update:
I have been bought a new laptop because if I upgrade my old laptop from 2010, it would cost about same including the risk.
The new laptop costs roughly 950 dollar,
If I bought new laptop with same specification as the old laptop (ASUS N73Jn), it would cost 4500 kr with guarantee and new but N73Jn is used so it is half price of new. So it does not matter. The laptop that I have been bought, I will using to programming plugin and such, just for experimenting use for X-Plane.

Update:
I thinking that I need to live in Germany for a while because they have a lot of electronic items in physical shops. It is easier to buying in a physical shop because there I can communicate personally, etc. I can live in Germany up to half year yearly because I am living at permanently disability pension.

Soon a new update.

Here's update.Skjermdump fra 2014-05-27 00:52:32.jpg I have asked the Arduino forum if this is correct build in the schematic design.
