My737Sim Multiplayer Server!

Posted by Matt On August - 9 - 2010

I have some very exciting news! I have setup a fully functional My737Sim Flight Sim Multiplayer Server!

You can access the Multiplayer Server Website here!

This server runs FSHost and will lets FS 2002, FS 2004/FS9 and FSX to connect to it! The website will show you who is connected, a Google map showing you where they are flying and any player connected info at the bottom!

I’m also going to start having a monthly hop/race that all of you can connect to and participate in! More info on this later. For now, give the server a test spin!

On top of the multiplayer server, I’m also running a Ventrilo server so that if you wish to do voice communication while you are flying and talk to fellow pilots, you are able to do so!

If you have any recommendations please feel free to send them my way! Other then that, use the server as much as you want!

Blue Skies!

Sim Avionics Cold and Dark Startup Test

Posted by Matt On August - 5 - 2010

A few things to figure out but overall I was very pleased with my first Cold and Dark startup test using the new Sim-Avionics!

Cockpit Test Flight July 2010

Posted by Matt On July - 21 - 2010

Since my last major test flight, I’ve added many new things to the simulator. The overhead, the throttle quadrant, the interface cards, radios, the cdu and more. Well, it was time to run the test flight from KLAX to KRIV to test everything out! Found several bugs I’ll have to fix, but that is exactly why I do this test flight. Sit back and relax and enjoy the flight!

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 :)

Overhead Backlighting Completed

Posted by Matt On July - 3 - 2010

Builders Note: Paint your annunciators or LED holders!! Light WILL bleed through them. :) I had to basically go back in and use liquid tape to cover every annunciator backing to prevent bleed through from the backlighting. But that wasn’t so bad actually because the liquid tape will prevent electrical shorts. My original concept of backlighting using the same LED strip lights I have for the MIP/Glare lighting didn’t come through, because it seems those LED strip lights have been discontinued. I ended up using rope lights that use  miniature incandescent bulbs, which are spaced 1″ apart. They glow a soft yellow and look pretty good. The pictures don’t do it justice. Tomorrow I hang the overhead.
