What about project Backcountry? There haven't been any pictures in a while. I'd love to hear how it's coming along.

It has been ages since the last update. Here's a picture of the sim after landing in Manchester this evening. The FE station is up, and I've added a second projector for a wider field of view.



still lots of work needs to go into the FE station. Some panels and gauges are lit up though, and it is really decorative!

Hi there,

Looking great, I am in New Zealand and I just recently met a guy who was selling his 727-212 (complete with all real parts) Simulator.

It was being decommissioned, so, he let me go through and take what I wanted, I got what I wanted and I now have complete panels, gauges, etc... from the real aircraft sitting in my shed waiting for a new home.

I am looking to sell on eBay but if there is any interest here I could work something out.

Let me know if you have any interest.

Cheers,
Kelvin

Hey Kelvin,

What do you have? How about posting them with pics in the MYC Classifieds section?

I'll get some pics up, I was just gouging interest to start with.

I have cdu Bay modules with weather radar, cdu's, engineer panels, many lights, whole bunch of switches, auto pilot modules, and a load of other bits and bobs.

Thanks for posting!
I'd be interested in cdu bay modules as I have no real stuff to put in it as of now. Infact I'd love to go for a full real MIP with steam gauges and the lot, but it's to much of an undertaking I feel. I don't have the funds for it at the time either. Please let me know what you want for the cdu modules though.

On a different note, this thread has been quiet for a while. The Sim is currently being converted to X-plane and the FJS 727. I'm designing and coding new instruments using Air Manager. This allows the instruments to be displayed on a client PC. This is a huge improvement to the sim as the work load is now distributed across a network of computers as opposed to the single PC set up I used to have. The fact that X-plane is a modern, supported platform is another huge improvement from FS9. Not to mention the graphics!

Here's a teaser:



I've also bought some Teensys and are currently working on coding various outputs. X-plane and teensyduino is going to let me do so much more than fs9 would ever do. Imagination and time is the only limitation.

More to come!
Cheers!

Just to let you know I have taken photos of the parts I have from a 727-212 cockpit. I'll also post over in the classifieds. Below is the link to the photos.

Hello,

Your sim looks really nice.

I am happy to sell everything that I have, see here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...VFkOHh2b0liN2c

Let me know what you think is a far price and we'll go from there. I'll have to work out shipping, let me know where you are.

Feel free to email me at kelvin@mytechspace.co.nz

In the meantime I need to try and work out why I cannot post in the classifieds.

Cheers,

Kelvin

Hi Kelvin,

Thank you for posting these items. I am not sure what too say about a fare price, since B727 parts are not much of a collectors or builders top of the list litem(s). Best way would be to check ebay for comparable items and price accordingly. There are for sure a lot of these items I'd like to buy, but like anyone else I don't want to insult you by making a low offer. I will check some prices on items listed elsewhere and come up with an offer for you later...

Best Regards,

John
