My Simworld MIP Panel Full Kit (Advanced) Arrived.

I think you have to use a dremel to make your own cut outs.

Hi Declan. You might be able to mount the MCP, EFIS and Glareshield to the MIP directly. It is a bit of a challenge depending on the units themselves you have (which I'm not familiar with). I saw some pics from another sim builder "Simon" who did a great job connecting FlyEngravity Glarewings directly to the SimWorld MIP. Myself, I elected to cut the top and place a plate to hold the units. I used 2X19" Dell widescreen monitors and an older IBM 15" standard LCD monitor.

cheers
Rob.

Hi,
I' always study for simworls and glareshieds. I saw the modl of simworld but i like very much the fds glare. In your post you talked about a sim builder who have connecting both. Could you remember where was these pics/topic ?

Best regrards,

Just wondering if everyone that has the prosimparts overhead panel are building their own frame for it, or is there a panel frame you recommend?

[OmniAtlas]

Filip from simworld has sent me some pictures of their aluminium stand.

Looks like they nearly have a complete package at a very competitive price!

The only big advantage I can think of with FDS and flyengravity is their integrated back lighting, or internal back lighting within the MIP itself.

How have you guys decided to backlight your panels?

Could you send me these pictures because I am studying the construction of the mine.

I built my own frame for my ProSimParts overhead.

I'd love to get a metal frame for it but it's a $500+ gamble to whether the panels will properly line up on the rail holes.

Not too sure about ProsimParts but I believe the simworld OVH fit the FDS frames nicely. Home cockpit 737 update - YouTube

Hi Gufau, I sent you the pics, lets continue our conversation here for the benefit of everyone.

I have asked simparts.de and they are unsure if their panels work with the simworld MIP -- hopefully all you need to do is drill holes for the correct fitting.

As for the CDU-bay, yes -- others have managed to fit a screen in place, you just have to flip it vertically, but there will be a little section sticking out.

I went on Red 5 Aviation flight simulator today -- VERY professional.

More videos to come!

Thank's OmniAtlas, it looks very good. He did not even put anything on the site ...

For Simparts, I hope it will, it's very good material, with backlight bulbs as in the true. Now the problem is that not Simworld 1x1 standards and when you want to install third-party components that are standards, there are concerns.

This is the problem to install a "cdu bay" because there is not enough space between the two "lower frame". So yes, we must move from the place reserved for cdu 2 and EICAS.

I think FDS is the only vendor which uses backlight bulbs? I know flyengravity are using LED lights. Regardless, please let us know how your project goes -- simparts panels with simworld MIP; I'll be going down this route as well if it works effectively. Cheers.
