I decided when I finished my cockpit, I was going to call it an Me-109F/X. This way I could get away with filling the panel with modern goodies.
This includes a glass cockpit display. In order to do this, I needed to rebuild an existing 15″ LCD panel so it would mount properly in the space I had available in the instrument panel. Below is the result of that reconstruction
I move the panel components to a custom fabricated 1/8″ acrylic mounting bracket.
Here’s what it looks like showing a screen from a Garmin G1000 emulator that a friend of mine is working on:
I’m currently finalizing the layout of the instrument panel. When it’s complete I’ll make sure to get pictures posted.
Is there a “mailing” list for this site. Would like to know when new articles are published. Interesting stuff as started trying to build my own motion sim.
You can join the simpits-tech list over at http://www.simpits.org – I post update notes there and there’s a lot of really knowledgeable people on that list. I look forward to seeing you there!
