727 Glareshield Rack Restored

[Michael Carter]

That code writing and programming amazes me too. It's very difficult for me to think about what goes on in PM systems. I'm more of a builder and not much of a programmer. If I can't see it in front of me, or on a piece of paper with a schematic, I'm a bit behind the curve.

That's the part of this project that I think will eventually give me fits down the road a few months when I'm getting to that stage.

Your not alone Michael!!

This is my first post so First let me say HELLO to all COCKPIT BUILDERS on behalf of the PROJECT 727 team. You can visit our Boeing 727 simulator at: www.xsn.net/project727 . The PROJECT 727 TEAM is honored to be a member of MY COCKPIT.ORG

If the leading companies in the flight sim industry would commercially develop MIP kits and steam gauge software of first and second generation Boeing and Douglas airliners, I'm sure we would see allot more of these classic cockpits in homes than just yours and mine and a few others. I am looking forward to seeing your MIP with the flight illusion gauges. What a great idea!!!
I agree that "GLASS" is also beautiful, as well as state of the art! My next project will in fact be "GLASS" and that may make it just a little bit easier since MIP's and Software are commercially available. But I must admit that, as in your case, "IRON KNUCKLE FLYING" in a classic Boeing Airliner is what fires my blood...and I'm sure of many, many others!! Each time I take off along with me comes the adventure, glamor, romance and excitement of early commercial aviation. WHAT A THRILL!!!!!!!!!
Whats the bottom line? That we are all so very lucky to live in a time where flight simulation is a "reality" and a wonderful hobby that permits us, in a way, fulfill our dreams of flight in our favorite aircraft. We are so much luckier than previous generations!!!

Michael, your on the correct flight path... can't wait to see your sim soaring!!!

Trevor, email the details and I'll see if it is feasible!

Thanks Joe! Always glad to hear good things from a Pro! I have a long road ahead of me.

The one concession I'm making with regard to glass in the cockpit is the LCD screen I'll be using for the HSI display.

I'll be using the Reality XP Sandel 3380 EFIS display. No one makes a simulated mechanical HSI so I really have no other choice. I'd be willing to pony up the money for a simulated HSI, but I'm not holding my breath for one to come to markt anytime soon.

Trevor, email the details and I'll see if it is feasible!
