[simpits-tech] Pneumatic (Air) Motion Q.

[simpits-tech@simpits.org]

Hi Frank,

sorry i have no website but here are a the specs from my pit:
- Lights :around 60 leds (for warning panel, gear status, master
caution etc..)with 2 mm 5541 led driver chips  who works with the great
lightdriver program from Rob Favre (use shared memory) from SP3
- Keyboard encoders: Hagstrom KE 72 and a hacked  progammable keyboard
for around 150 switches and mfd
- Motion: modified rock n ride with airflow regulators who interacts
with falcon 4.0 SP3
  (using pitch and roll data from the the shared memory to get  motion
data )
- Sound: loudspeaker and transducer for vibration
- visuals: self made projector  (OHP 4000 lumen with LCD 1024x768
panel)
- facing : done 

Wen I start the pit i was limited by the dimension of the rock n ride,
so i can not do a exact copy of the f16 instruments, but in the end i
was very satisfied with the result,
at the moment i start to fly with falcon sp3 and try to rewrite robīs
code for the led driver to use it also with fsuipc for fs2002,  the
motion interface for fs2002 (use pitch and roll) are ready.
If you like i can upload pitcures (poor quality because i have a old
digital camera) of the finsished pit at the weekend to the simpit
site.
