New Engravity MCP and EFIS’ Ordered!
Cockpit Night Lighting is In
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)

Replacement Glare Wings Are In!
Had some issues with the LED lighting on the glare wings so Peter up and shipped me two brand spanking new ones! How is that for supporting your customers! Steve personally checked to make sure they were OK as well! Thanks!
I must say these pictures don’t do them justice, they look GREAT!!!


Windshield Part 2
Well ran into some problems the moment I turned on the projector. Shadows from the window frame, ugh! I tried moving the projector forward, but the image became too small to fill the large area I had before. (And still want)
Thus, as with all situations, you improvise. I had to pull the frame that was mounted to the wall off, and started to mount it to the mip/cdu bay. Then, I had to pull the whole thing back from the wall about 2 feet. This really makes it more of a tight fit but not much I can do about that.
Anyhow, after doing that and firing up FSX, I must admit, it looks pretty nice!



Started building a Wind Shield
Have started building a wind shield. I don’t have room for a full shell, but am trying to create some sort of support structure that will hold up the forward overhead, etc. Time will tell on that.
So far I’ve got the captains window done and the center post.


Sim Update 10/22/09!
Captains Glare Wing wired up
Just finished wiring and testing. So far master caution is working only with TSR. I think Fire will only work with pmsystems but I’m trying something. In the mean time here is a quick picture!

Glare Lighting
So I’ve put in the LED lighting. It’s really bright and I’m going to have to diffuse it. I bought a sheet of acrylic light diffuser today at home depot and will have to see how that is going to work. That’s for another day. So far, here is what the lighting looks like!
