I’ve started a podcast that will deal with my experiences in simulator cockpit building.

I think it’s a good way to add additional content to my site and help give even more back to all of you in the flight sim community.

Thanks to AviationBlogs for posting this link on FlightSchoolList.com. It is a compiled a list of Flight Training Handbooks located on the FAA’s website.

I’ve uploaded several new photos of the cockpit. You can find them on the Sim Photos link at the top or below!

Hope you enjoy!

Today I trial and errored through SIOC to get my OpenCockpit EGT, Cabin Climb and Duct Pressure gauges working! Fellow SimA and Builder Markus was kind enough to send me his scripts.

The thing about SIOC is that no two builders scripts will be a like. Its a programming language, one that I don’t understand much. I pretty much changed things one at a time until everything worked. :) Here’s a video showing the three gauges in action!

I just came across Smart Cockpit, thanks to a link on Markus’ site!  Its stock FULL of 737 training information, as well as pretty much every other aircraft out there you’d want training information for!

Definitely a site you will want to bookmark!

A couple of months ago when I did the SSD update in the FSX Sim PC, I was having intermitted functionality on my TQ’s start levers. Sometimes in idle detent they would not work, other times in cutoff they wouldn’t work. A few days ago I noticed that moving them on my real TQ did not move them in FSX.

There are a few posts out there about how to get them working. But with the interface card in the Revolution TQ, this was my solution.

Engine Start Lever 1, FSUIPC Buttons & Switches Tab. Control sent when button press “Mixture 1 Lean” / Parameter 0. Control sent when button released “Toggle Master Starter Switch” / Parameter 1

Engine Start Lever 2, FSUIPC Buttons & Switches Tab. Control sent when button press “Mixture 2 Lean” / Parameter 0. Control sent when button released “Toggle Master Starter Switch” / Parameter 2
