Norwegian 727-200 project
Hi everyone. This is the continuation of this thread http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/show...MIP-dimensions
Here's an update of todays progress.
I found that 2" drain pipes would work for engine instrument bezels. :)

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Lookin' great!!! So excited to see a 727 coming together (especially one from scratch). I never heard back if you were still wanting help with locating or obtaining pieces either, so if you sent that message, it was lost.
Do you need the actual glareshield itself or is it just not set up yet? There are a couple dirt cheap ones on E-Bay that don't have the fire pulls (which you already have).

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Hi Jon.
I never heard back from you. I guess your message got lost. I did get a glare shield off of e-bay. It will be sent by sea together with a few other items, so I won't see that for a while unfortunately. I have plenty work to do with the stuff that have arrived though. I really can't proceed with the windows and the rest of the shell construction before I get the glare shield though.
I can't believe I mispelled the title! I must have bee exhausted from putting up that OH panel last night! :D

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
I dropped you a PM...lemme know if you didn't get it. Everything is lookin' good....may have to make a trip out to Norway and Denmark to see some of these pieces coming together!!!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Got the auto pilot wired up, interfaced and working this evening.

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Just noticed something....are you missing the light caps for the instrument comparators??? I think they go to either side of the fire pulls, but I'm not building a Boeing cockpit so I'm not sure. I happen to have just the light caps if you need them.
It looks absolutely wonderful.
Jon
-
Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Yes, I do miss all the caps on the glare panel. I didn't know they were instrument comparator caps though. I know the other ones I miss is the Wheel weel fire cap, and bottle discharged caps. Maybe I'll get them from you along with that tiller wheel! :)
Thanks for the nice comment!

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
I've been busy wiring up and interfacing the OH panel lately. Still waiting for my 5v power supply for the backlighting.
Most of the switches are hooked up now.
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a15...e/CIMG0028.jpg
Can anybody tell me how to loose the guage night lighting? This is what happens to the non DF guages at night.
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a15...e/CIMG0031.jpg
If I turn the off the fluorescent panel light on the OH panel they all reappear though

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Hi
I just came across this thread.
First congratulations on your work and for choosing the Boeing 727 for your sim. Welcome to a very exclusive 727 sim builders club!!!
Second I apologize for not recieve your private message. Last year I had many problems with my server and with virus issues.
Its been many years since I builts my panel and since I played arround with FSPANEL STUDIO but I think your problem with the gauges is because you may have to assing a "Night Lighting Color Hue Effect" to them. FSPANEL ST will let you assign a night lighting color ( yellowish, redish, greenish etc.) effect to your gauges so you can see them at night. If this is not done then at night the gauges will be pitch black.
If this works for you then make sure to assign the same night lighting effect (color) to the gauges you CAN ALREADY SEE at night with the fluore light on. You do not want some of your guages to look redish and others yellowish at night. They should all look incandescent yellowish at night.
Are you using the Richard Probust gauges?
I hope this works for You and look foward to seeing Your Boeing 727 in the Sky Very Soon!!!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Hi Joe.
I've visited your site more than once to be honest, I got a few ideas for my MIP there as well! :)
My guages are a mix of DF 727, Aerosim 727, and Richard Probst guages. The guages you can see at night are the DF 727 guages.
I'll have to play around with FSPanel studio again, and see if I can get the other guages to light up.
Thanks for your input Joe! I'm happy to see that you are still active with your amazing 727 sim.
Anderson/SBSP, thanks for your nice comment! :)

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Hi Tor
What projector are you using there?
Is it a shortthrow one?
All the best
-
Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Hi Geremy.
Yes it's a Benq MW811ST. Wish I could afford 3 of them! :roll:
Best regards
Tor
-
Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
OMG! Those BenQ projectors are over £1000 each in the UK!
-
Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Well, it wasn't that expensive over here, but it did take a chunk out of my pay check. Then again what doesn't in this hobby!?
I spent a lot of time reading specs on various projectors before I decided which one to get. It became obvious very soon that buying a second hand cheap low res projector (which I had initially thought of doing) just wasn't going to cut it. So I decided to get one I can enjoy for many years.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Very cool projekt!Long live the classics.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Thanks lenne. :)
I got my long awaited 5v power supply. Unfortunately it wasn't juicy enough to light up all the panels of my OH panel. It could only handle 6 panels at a time. I just got a 20A one off ebay now. Hopefully the one I allready got will handle the radio stack!
Got another rather big package on it's way from the states! Will be a few weeks before I see that one:(
Patience never was a strength of mine! :)

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
A small update.
I've fabricated the angeled panels below the MIP and fitted and interfaced encoders for various bugs etc. The two open holes are for toggle switches for switching between adf/vor 1 & 2 on the RMI.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
http://stores.ebay.com/BONEYARD2U?_trksid=p4340.l2563
You may wanna check out this guys stuff. He's got a TON of stuff on the 727. Instrument panel with all gauges (as flown), all pieces for a flight engineer station, a complete overhead (I think you have it), and a bunch of other pieces. Additionally he has a throttle quadrant for a C-130...kinda unusual.
This is a guy I've dealt with very extensively and he is very reasonable. If he's not willing to ship, I can give you some alternate shipping options via PM.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Thanks Jon.
I saw his adds last night. He definately has a lot of goodies! I actually thought of bidding on his cockpit lights & speaker package. The FE station doesn't look complete to me? I allready have a full OH panel and a rather big package is coming in from the states! :) ETA mid /end March. Can't wait!
-
Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
The actual framework isn't present, but I think most of the other stuff is there. The framework will be hard to find outside of the one available from APHS LTD, as it is actually part of the airframe, and is VERY difficult to get. The only other one I've seen in my 3 years of watching was cut in several places and would require a LOT of work. However, you could possibly make something very similar with some DZUS rails and measurements, as well as a bit of metal work.
Jon
-Edit: Spoke too soon. I looked through and there are some missing components, although thats still quite a few pieces for a FE panel for a reasonable price. I'm trying to find out exactly what is missing. Jon

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
My 24V power supply is here. Hooked up the lights under the glare panel, and the pedestal lights in the OH panel tonight. All lights are controlled directly by the respective switches on the OH panel

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
This is freaking awesome.. We have to meet over a cup of coffee.. The funny thing is that all of this hardware would fit perfectly into my 737 shell;)

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Hi there! Yes, your shell would fit my project perfectly! :P
How are things coming along with your project? Coffee sounds good, where are you located?

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
More lights.
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a15...e/CIMG0060.jpg
The anti ice panel lights have got me thinking though! It's going to take some wiring to make those light up realisticly.
Oh well, I'll leave that for an other day.
Cheers

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Here is my SIOC code for the lights (Window heat and wing deice).
Might be a starting point...I hope it is complete since I copied it from different parts of my code. The code actually does not do anything except for controling the lights. The VJs (virtual joysticks) are thought to be used to switch on the switches in the sim, but I am not sure if that is really a good idea since they are (in my FlightOne 727) toggle switches and the software cannot determine the state of the switch so you might just turn it the wrong way in the sim).
Good luck,
Florian

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
WOW! You're light years ahead of me. I haven't gotten to the point where output cards control lights and what not. I haven't even got an output card yet. My window heat lights work like this: switch ON -> green light ON. Very simple ;) The over heat lights are not hooked up. I don't know but I dont think the over heat lights are modeled in the DF727? will they ever light up, unless you press the test button?
Thanks and best regards
Tor

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
I have no idea when they will light up - probably you would have to program something like that (e.g. light up after a certain time if outside temp is above a given value and heat is on for that long).
I spent some time in writing the SIOC code. On the other hand, you have already overtaken me in such a shourt time as far as the hardware is concerned, I'm indeed impressed.
If you need some more codes, please let me know.
Best, Florian

John from Ruscool in New Zealand has been kind enough to design and build me a retro radio stack. He's been hard at work for a few weeks, here's a few pictures of the prototypes. Btw. he might offer these as a new product on his website in the future for anyone interested.

Thanks to Castle on the forum, my newly aquired TQ has made it's way from Colorado to Pennsylvania. It's currently being loaded in a container along wih my glare shield and will cross the pond in my direction over the next few weeks

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Thanks a lot Stijn! How's your project coming along?

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Waiting for some electronics i orderd for the MIP, when I hook them up the MIP is finished. The pedestal is finished and the throttle quadrant is comming along nicely.
A lot of small things need to be done, hope to assemble everything next month.
I will upload some pic's this weekend.

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Cool, can't wait to see some pictures! Have you interfaced a real TQ?

Re: Norweigian 727-200 project
Got all he lights for the audio select panel hooked up today. The switches I need are interfaced, and ready to plug into my input card. There's something very rewarding about breathing new life into these old components! :)

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Have you built one? I initially thought of doing that, but I came across a real one at a reasonable price so I decided to get it!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
yeah, just finished the 3 throttle levers.
It's not easy and i'm not that skilled so i have to exclude some functions, for example: only one revers-lever is interfaced, so i cant revers engines individually.
I build as many as I can from scratch, and when i stumble across some real components for a good price I will add them in my project.
