Excellent work mate!

Can I just ask what size are your monitors? and how have you grouped all 3 monitors together, an earlier update of yours shows just 2 monitors....

Did you step up from a dualhead2go to a triplehead2go, or are the visuals setup another way!

I enjoy watching your progress very good work you are producing!

Hello Alex,

all 3 monitors are 19" ratio: 4:3 TFT Monitors.

No, I don't use the Matrox product. I use an PCIe ATI Radeon Graphiccard.

The technology is called: EyeFinity (http://www.amd.com/US/PRODUCTS/TECHN...eyefinity.aspx)
It's working great.

best regards,
Markus

I want to give you a short update on my cockpit project.
During the last weeks we have built a gear leveler.



The construction consists of 2 pipes running the small one into the bigger one and a pressure spring. So you need to pull the leveler towards you and the spring will pull it back to the default position.
I have also made a short video, you can watch it here:


During the next week the pedestal area will be built. Therefore the following modules will be built in:
1x NAV
1x COM
1x Weather Radar
1x Cargo Fire Panel
1x Fire Panel
1x XPDR
2x Audio Panel

The missing modules will be covered with removeable plates, so once I got them I only need to remove the plate and put the module in.

Further I have changed the APU switch to a "real" one in his function:


And the SIOC code for the LEDs to use with SimAvionics was optimized.
Last but not least also the Marker sound was moddeled in SIOC to be played via another PC Soundcard:



As soon I have some photos from the pedestal I will update this post again.

Best regards,
Markus

Another update to be presented to you:



My nearly finished pedestal.
I did a short test with the OC modules only. All other modules have to be wired in the following weeks.
Updates will be posted on my blog.

Wondeerfull job, congrats!!

[markusr]

Pedestal finished



the wiring will be done this weekend.

Update:

Wired fire panel

[markusr]

Another Update at end of the month

Marker Sounds can be enabled / disabled from the Pedestal now from both sides (Captain and FO)
ATC can be rerouted to external speakers, if needed or only on the Headset (both sides)



Also magnetical decals were created to get changeable registrations in the cockpit.


The Captain side will be mounted soon.
FO side:


That's my updated for March 2011

Hi Marcus. Excellent update.

Can you please tell me what switches you are using on the audio control panel (for turning on and off the speaker). Do they also control the volume if rotated?

Thanks.

Nice feature. How exactly have you done this? Is the turn-button actually only a pushbutton? ... and how du you actually route the sound?
My audiopanel just sit there and look nice but no actual function... yet!
