Cockpit Night Lighting is In

Posted by Matt On August - 7 - 2010

Was going through some PC parts and found 3 Antec Red Light Tubes that I had bought a several years ago for a PC case mod I had done. Perfect for the sim! So I mounted them and awsome, these work great! They connect via USB so I just have them in a USB  Hub. I’ll figure out how to toggle them on and off at some point. For now I can just unplug that hub. (Note, the camera doesn’t pick up as much light as you can actually see with your eyes)

Cockpit Light Switches Added

Posted by Matt On July - 28 - 2010

Over the past week I added a few light switches behind the overhead. Since I don’t have a working aft overhead yet, these fit perfectly!



Please let me know if you have problems viewing the videos. They default to HTML5, and should fall back to flash if they don’t.

Another quick shot, progress has been made in the roof liners. Simple but effective. Am working on a few switches for lights now and will post pictures when all this is completed :)
