Cockpitsonic Airbus Panels
Hello everybody. I've got a question about some Airbus panels from Cockpitsonic. I'm not a big electrical person, so I'm buying things pre-assembled. I've got quite a few questions before I spend my money.
Firstly, why does the panel without hardware usually sell for the same price as the regular plastic panel? Is this 'too good to be true'?
Secondly, why are airbus panels so significantly cheaper then the Boeing ones they sell?
Thirdly, I've read that their Boeing panels are relatively plug-and-play. Is this true about their Airbus panels as well?
For those of you who have purchased the cockpitsonic Airbus Data Printer, what does the 'Panel With Hardware' come with? Is it really a mini-printer, or does it just have some back lighting?
The pictures and description of the Captains and F/Os pedestal lighting panels don't say what lights they control, and I'm not an Airbus person, so can you tell me what they control?
What does the Radar panel do?
I assume the ECAM controls the displays, but I'm not so sure. What does it really do?
I understand the Radio Management system, but what does the Audio Control do?
That's all for now I suppose.

Thanks! I'm left with just one question.
When the paint peels away, what's left?

Who makes more realistic panels for the airbus that are available? I dont understand why there are so few options.

Be thankful that you at least have options.

The 727 world is hard, I take it?

It ain't as easy as most.
Try calling any supplier and ask when their 727 throttle is going to be released. Then listen as they're rolling on the floor laughing.
Call all of them and ask to purchase a complete set of overhead panels or a MIP.Last edited by Michael Carter; 11-09-2008 at 09:07 PM.

But I would never choose a plane that was not supported, so the point is moot.

Wait wait wait..pause there.... ... They wont "Auto-peal!!" ......they are sensitive to more "intense" treatment..meaning, if you for instance drop something on them, you'll probably end up with a little piece of paint pealed away..and that aint all that hard to happen..but by all means, they wont just self-peal!... When a little strip of paint goes off..well..you end up with plexiglass.. My advice, if you buy them, ask for the RAL code and buy some paint so you can correct little flaws ( in real life with real panels, things are done that way also..)
cheers
