It's high time to say hello...

[Tracy Hale]

Thank you for hearty welcome!
Yes Tracy, I am married and my wife shows a lot of tolerance, but sometimes she must remind me that the sun is shining outside ... then I know, it's time to do something together...Norbert

Norbert, I think ALL wives have to give our hubbies a little reminder that there's more to life than just the sim

[Trevor Hale]

Norbert,

Your video is beautiful.

Great Job. I Love your graphics. I had 2 look three times to see if it was real outside view.

Fantastic work

Trev

[Matt Olieman]

Fantastic Norbert, thanks for sharing

I too had to look sever times because of the fantastic outside view. What are you using?

[Michael Carter]

Silly Gwyn, we all know that Trev's race car will outrun your 73 any day, anytime, anyplace...not to mention 3 engines are better than 2

You know it Lady!

Three engines beats two no matter what aircraft it is! That's why we don't need no stinkin' ETOPS.

Engines turn or passengers swim! Hee hee hee.

[Fuglsang]

Hello Nobert, and welcome!

I have seen your video on youtube before, very impressive!
I agree with Trevor and Matt, Nice graffics!

This has got to be the understatement of the year..... 'a little reminder'

Thanks for a lot of compliments for my video and especially thanks that you generous lost sight of my horrible mistakes on final approach .
Too much speed and failing the center line... the excitement of the first video!

I have a configuration of 4 PC's (1 new Intel Core Duo 6600 and 3 PIII 900 from ebay) running FS9 (thinking about slowly changing to FSX) and Project Magenta software. In the MIP are two 19"TFT's and one 17"TFT. The wooden parts (side frames and MIP) are made by myself, seats are from a Chrysler Voyager and panels are from cockpitsonic.de (a fine german cockpit manufacturer near Frankfurt). The projection is a Panasonic PT-AE900 beamer on 10 feet distance to a self made silver screen (10x6 feet).

Yes Tracy, I can confirm that life is more sim (I do not always exactly understand english language, but I think that is what you mean...).

greetings

Norbert, I can see your project really takes advantage of some time and money savers, this is exactly what newer builders like myself like to see. I too plan to run the CDU/FMS on a touchscreen for a while once I get around to buying the CDU software.

I see that you use two CH yokes. My plan is to also use two CH Yokes, but only one of them will actually be connected to the sim because it is my plan to interconnect them via a crossover bar.

However, out of curiosity and to settle some fears, do you have BOTH of your yokes connected to the PC/FS9 and working without conflict? One item im interested in is if you adjust trim via the yoke's trim button on the captain's side and then adjust the trim on the FO's side, it should work just fine, correct?

Thanks, and thanks for sharing your project with us all!

You need additional Software to do this Tomlin.

Email or Private Message BOB. He knows the name of it, for some reason the name eludes me right now.

[Norbert-EDDV]

Tomlin, yes I am using two CH yokes.
But when I read the reply from Trevor then it seems to me that I have a lot of fortune because I do not have any problems with the two yokes. The cause must be that I have on the Captain side the CH Flight Sim yoke pro and on the FO side it's the CH Flight Sim Yoke LE (the light version).

By the way, the touchscreen is not only helping to save money, it's also very helpful for running additional programs as I need for online flying with IVAO.

Greetings
Norbert
