[simpits-tech] Website Update

My apology Kiko.

I got to dig up that name... He is a graphic/multimedia design who I had
talked to on this group. Last I spoke to him he was very into Xplane and
started to work on Italian scenery as an add on. Selling his terrain and it
was pretty fun talking to him. I remembered his first name is francisco...
and his last name starts with P. But I havent hear or see him around for a
little while. Thought it was you :)

Very similar to your original LCD idea. I have two 15 inches monitors (for
now... might upgrade later) hidden inside my front console of the pit. The
glareshield will need to be modified to accomandate two corners pointing out
on either side. Each 15 inch monitor is taken out of their case and rotated
90 degree to sit protrait format. I might take it into an electronic repair
shop and see if they can extend all of the cabling from the board to the
screen further. So I dont have to be limited by the factory stock wiring.
This part of the pit is by far the heaviest of my whole pit project so far.
However, having such a heavy loading just ontop of my rudders  it gives the
pit a very firm grounding. Eventually I hope when my cousin comes back over
to study from Hong Kong can go to that Lank sang link that someone pointed
out before with cheap LCDs displays and fit out the centre console to
display instrucments for Erwin's F4 glass.

But right now, I am still saving money to buy myself another Jigsaw...it
broke about 2 months ago. That suddenly put a break in my cockpit
construction project :(

Greetings :)
