Wow Nick, always great to see how your project is doing. And you've made so much progress in such little amount of time. Great stuff.

20 days after, and still working on EVERYTHING but the wires...

My new Fly Engravity pedestal box has arrived, and all modules have been installed.

Cockpit seats, TQ and my new CPflight pedestal box have been removed in order to design my new cockpit floor, new power cables have been installed on the cockpit ceiling and on the pedestal box, J rails have already been serviced, cause all screws have been unscrewed probably from the vibrations from the bass shakers, and many other tiny bits have been fixed...

Coming soon with more pictures...

Too busy at work, and I haven't found the time to finish my cockpit. My 3 projectors arrive next week, so I had to hurry up. This weekend was a deadline for me... I 'm missing flight hours from my sim more than a month now, and this (as all of you know) is very depressing.

So I have stolen few hours from work yesterday to catch up, and I woke up early today, Saturday, in order to finish the most I could, so that my sim is ready and flyable next week... Have to make it. I have to finish what I wanted and check my check list boxes.

Few pics...

Both seats have been services through out, all bolts on the Jrails have been unscrewed and swrewed again with thread locker glue. RSP for God shake, even the Jrails!!!






The new aluminum cockpit floor has been installed and glued, TQ, pedestal box and seats are mounted on top...








Finally, almost every cable has been re-orginised from the start, new power adaptors for switching off the sim from one switch, two UPS channels, one for all the equipment and one for the server and sound adaptor. The clients are laptops so the have their own battery for safety!









To be continued...

After few hours today...

Still to come, my overhead with the new solenoid switches, and 3 projectors during the week...

[Nick1150]

After many days of working on my project, I finally finished all my details, including solenoids, new floor, new overhead speakers for the callouts, full new pedestal, 3 new projectors, and many other minor fixes, except the actual warping and blending of the 3 projectors that hopefully I will do during the next days, after testing Nthusim, Fly Elise and Warpilizer...

In detail...
My cockpit is officially flying. I feel pride looking at it.
