[simpits-tech] Look what followed me home!

[Matt Bailey]

This is actually the sim I was going to work on about a year and a half
ago when I posted a query to the list asking if anyone had ever dealt
with these things. Seems it never really flew right since its last
owner acquired it. Apparently it was sorta flyable when one of the CFIs
last worked on it, but now it is completely nuts (see video). That's
alright though, I didn't really intend to use the ancient electronics
in it anyway.

As far as I can tell, it's missing nothing except one of the nav
database PROMs (there is one for Denver CO in the second slot, but the
first slot is empty). I even have two old "green text" terminals.

I played with it some more tonight, got a little intro video:

And some more pics:

The old terminals actually still power on! I'm not sure how to connect
them though....there is no console connection on the sim itself. The
terminals may hook into the image generator box, but it is apparently
dead (so says the tag on it). I may use one of those terminals on the
Sabreliner just for the unspeakable retro coolness of it. :)
