Description:

This site contains information on a home built one-seater flight simulator using: A replica F-16 forward fuselage section, MS© FS2004, Project Magenta software, the R R Electronics programable I/O system EPIC-USB and a lot of building time Have fun checking out this site. Feedback is welcome! This section contains what I consider the fun part of cockpit building. It is a collection of ideas and solutions for the problems I encountered during the years I worked on my project. Don t expect groundbraking stuff here. These tips are not about inventing the wheel. All ideas are my intelectual property, but fellow builders may feel free to reproduce (and maybe enhance) them in their own cockpit projects. If anyone wants to use my designs for commercial purposes, let s discuss how such a venue could secure unspeakable riches for both of us... Use these tips as you see fit, but do so at your own risk! Please do not hold me accountable for mishaps that might occur while trying to follow my advice. The tools used to build a cockpit can turn into deadly weapons in the hand of an unskilled hobbyist (that might be true for a simple screwdriver, and even more so for a razor-sharp cutter). Caution is a must whenever you use a tool. Good luck to all of you - and always remember: Reinventing the wheel can be fun! The files on this page actually bring the cockpit to life. The procedures in my EPL code (EPL stands for EPIC Programing Language) switch on LEDs, read frequencies from FS and set the displays in the cockpit. Without them, the cockpit would be a rather useless collection of buttons, switches and other assorted hardware. Aviation is is in a constant state of change, and so is my cockpit. There is plenty of stuff that looked great and was useful at the time I built it. But the project has slowly moved away from a generic type cockpit and towards a B737 NG inspired design. Ten years into the cockpit s existence, all V.1 panels have eigher been updated, modified or were disassembled. ...and once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return.... Here are links to the homepages of the makers of the software and hardware I use in my simulator. I do not check these links all the time, so if you find a dead one, please send me an e-mail. A mainly French site (some pages in English) by Frederic Mignard. He offers stunning and- as the name implies plug and play solutions for cockpit builders. His designs are inspired by my project, hence the link. If you want to connect multiple monitors for syncronized outside views, check this out. But we warned: Each new view requires its own monitor and PC, so don t try it if you re not willing to spend the cash At the Wide View Forum you will find many friendly and helpful guys if you have questions about WideView. Sophisticated ATC simulator with many functions missing in FS2004. I have the program running on a separate PC. This means that sound output can go directly to my headset, greatly enhancing autenticity. Serious about cockpit building? Then check Enrico Shiratti s Project Magenta! You will find highly accurate glass instruments (both Boing and Airbus) which can be run on networked computers. Middleware between EPIC and your hardware. It saves you a lot of headache while writing epl code. Works with FS2004. Made by Robert Fischer, who works on an impressive A320 Projekt ... a collection of stories related to flight simulation and aviation in general. To be expanded in the future, as time permits and new stories become available. The MIG-21 Full Motion Simulator This story unfolds in the waning years of the 2nd millenium, in a country far, far... There is a question on the mind of many flight simulation enthusiasts. A question that is as old as our hobby itself:... Got Nothing Better To Do With Your Time? Every flight simulation enthusiast has been asked this rather annoying question at some point usually by people... The files on this page actually bring the cockpit to life.
