Title: EHM-1997 Flightdeck
Post by: EHM-1997 Alexander on October 02, 2011, 09:51:55 am

So as Murray knows, I've been woodworking.

Here are the fruits of my labours so far, but there are a couple of bits I have on order atm. Once they get added in I'll post more updates. The whole Album can be seen here: http://s946.photobucket.com/albums/ad303/kesomir/Flightdeck/ (http://s946.photobucket.com/albums/ad303/kesomir/Flightdeck/)

Impressive, Alexander!
Looks like you are heading in the direction of a true flying experience :)

Looking forward to the next episode already ;)

blimey mate!
Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy yourself a Cessna and some flying lessons.

PS Is that a beer glass I see in one of your screenshots.?
I am partial to a little in-flight imbibing myself.

Bulmers Cider / Perry.

Bulmers Pear 4tw! - was filled with water when woodworking though ;)

Quite excited for the next few bits to arrive. Kit has a long lead time in this hobby though :P Expecting the next parts in about a month, some from France, some from Canada. I've become quite the importer of late!

Need more space though, especially if I'm to be able to put in a curved screen for multi projector visuals for the final touches. *dream may not coincide with reality

Latest shots, almost flyable while the build continues. Just wrestling with the Revsimproducts throttle again, may have to plug in via the lappy to avoid the windows 7 throttle conflict issue, but I now have the Captains PFD and can switch in the EICAS screens as needed until I strip the casing off the 15" monitor and receive the displayport to vga adaptor to hook it up.

Have also migrated from Project Magenta over to Prosim737 as the entire suite cost the same as the pmsystems upgrade would have and development pace is a lot faster at the moment on prosim.
