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!

Hi Geremy.
Yes it's a Benq MW811ST. Wish I could afford 3 of them!
Best regards
Tor

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
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.

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.
