Well at last I have completed the major upgrade on the Airbus. After wasting over 2 years trying to get simboards to work, I pulled them all out and replaced them with the CPflight FCU and Leo Bodnars BU0836X Controller plus another FDS-SYS card from Peter Cos.
The overhead is controlled with a Sys card also.
Let me say, that buying the correct gear can save a lot of headaches and wasted time.
I have to also say at this stage with only a couple of days testing, that the results are amazingly good. It is now a pleasure to fly !
Especially the new FCU unit is something to behold, as Matt will surely agree with.You would almost have to say it is better than the real one in an Airbus !
Also the BU0836X is another great piece of hardware to use.The other piece of harware/software I use is IOCards from Opencockpits to run the radios and the trim wheel.
So at his stage I seem to have a 100 percent workable Sim at last. Hoping these facts will help others to choose the right gear for their simulators.
