Yeah, the floor looks quite right and simple! Looking forward to see the shell construction :hailprobe: you lucky.. man! (y)? keep it comin!

Congratulations, man! You're really Lucky to have such space available!! :hailprobe: ? Is it the final place for the sim or just assembly facility??? :))))

Hey y'all! Little update on the 3D pit shell. I've finally manage to complete all surfaces, including instrument panels: (All shaded surfaces are instrument panels, all transparent ones are internal cabin volume) [ Pilots' eyes were moved 300 mm towards nose and 100mm down, making total...

Hey there! I have no issues with my old (2016) amd r9 390 sapphire card and orbiter 2016 running d3d9 client. I don't know about their newer stuff though.

Man, it's really cool! (y)(y)Now all you need is to acquire some Russian can food!! ? I definitely include them in my simpit if you dont mind :probe: Did you check holding force of this tiny circular velcro pads? Are they enough to hold full bag at the earth's gravity? Please keep us updated...

Of course the cabin, having a California King size bed footprint, should have assembly joints - at least three - Floor and two sides to fit standard door size (2000x800 mm) cause without them it'll be buried at the location of the first assembly ? Time warp panel is essential, especially for...

Wow, nice! (y) I'll try it when I get back home from my 2 weeks off. (Oh yeah, my laptop is with me and I still cant help myself stopping designing the sim.. :) ) With MFD and external views in our pockets only left to do is good and convenient I/O module, supporting multiple axes, control...

Oh, cost... I guess cost and space are our 2 main contains.. :) Anyway, 270deg projector screen is my ultimate goal, but simple LCD/plasmas should work great without busting the bank. You can find good deals on those in the used market. Even for 32/42 inch TVs. Congratulations! Not so offtopic...

Thank you!! Nice thing is DG source code is available - very convenient Martin's move. Actually, being close-coded, XR2 has nice API to extract different vehicle status information. Basically I dont understand yet how to take values from it and send them to the sim. Several screens in place of...

Hey Jdat, that sounds great!! Orbiter I/O sim support needs to be redesign..badly:hailprobe: Regarding isolation transformers and complexity... It's not just a simple simpit project.. I guess :) I like to design and make thing closely as possible to the real deal. There're a lot of real awesome...

I like the fact having just one Pi without arduinos and usb interconnects... Please keep me posted with the results. Actually I though about global keyboard/mouse solution via LAN - will be neat. Yeah, basically, standard backlight control circuit (Boeing, Apollo, Shuttle, you name it) with...

Also I've done wiring the control box for my 3018 cnc project. It's ALIVE!! :devilish::LOL:Just waiting for 1 switch and several terminals to arrive and I can begin cable lacing :) PS. It's very funny to find out that your spindle has not +100VDC power supply, as advertised, but 100VAC 400 Hz...

Thank you, JDat! Yeah, I'm waiting it too, man. I really hope your script would work in my situation. I've just done redrawing yet another version of the primary MFD module block diagram, including split top and bottom keypads and power supplies. LCD panel itself is isolated via 1:1 40W...

Very nice documentation!(y) Keep it coming! I can't stress enough how important it is for such Endeavor (no pun intended :LOL:). Try to keep revision history as well, it could be handy down the road. Regarding those SS cabin sections - of course I've got em all! ( I wish I had a complete...

PS. Little test jigs I've printed and assembled for choosing right spring and measuring forces and travel. Option 3 is a winner here. It has nice actuating force (not so hard as other two, and not so soft as PC keyboard) and most audible click. Op. 1 and 2 can be used as more important...

Hey y'all! I decided to take a break from my cnc build and redesign Primary MFD bezel to make it more professional and elegant. I like look of those 18x18 push buttons, but they are rather bulky and not so aerospace lookin. So my goal is to create a bezel with thickness of 20 mm and with no...

Hey, Owenmck! Take a look here - https://history.nasa.gov/SP-468/ch10-3.htm quite a good bedtime reading answering basic questions about difference between turbojet and turbofan engines. Regarding your last question - I guess, it depends on what type of aircraft it should propelled and, of...

My MFDs are in a queue :)) They are in the same state I posted before. Right now I wanna finish my 3018 cnc project for making PCBs again. I've done all designing for new mfd modules (including local power supply boards), purchased all components and, after I finish my cnc, I'll start tinkering...

Yeah, some gauges were almost foot long for displaying just fuel quantity or something. Just analog computers full of gears and synchro-resolvers. Those days are definitely gone, specially for space flight. So much mass can be stripped down by using displays. Anyway, I guess TBI is not so hard...

Regarding talkback indicators (let's call them TBI for short ? ), see this video - at 9:16 - that little solenoid opens/closes red flag - same principle is applied to TBI's
