Building a 737-800 Homecockpit [OE-LNJ]

Today I can present you a short video from my added Ground power request sound.
The soundfiles are cut together for private use from LevelD 767 Addon.
SIOC script is checking an offset move from 0 to 1. The trigger is the Ground Power available LED. Once the status is changed also the helping offset changes his state.
Today I want to present you an application I found couple days ago. It will play some predefined sound files based on conditions which you are able to define yourself.
It’s called CrewSound 2010.
You can create more profiles with different configurations and different Soundfiles. It’s a very handy tool to get more athmosphere into your homecockpit without using complex SIOC scripts.
The following flight situations are currently supported:
Boarding; Post-Boarding; Taxi; After Takeoff; Climb; Cruising; Descend; After Landing; De-boarding
You can download CrewSound from Olivers Page here.
This post is not in direct link to my homecockpit, but it shows some nice pictures 🙂
On the weekend we went out for a little aircraft spotting.
Some “big” (for Vienna it’s big) birds were flying into Vienna runway 34.
No updates occured within my cockpit, because we had some little vacation in June.
First we visited family in Montreal.
One week later we flew to to New York.
After experiencing New York for one week, we continued to Washington D.C
Some videos:
An update is available for RAAS (Runway Awareness and Advisory System for FSX/FS9)
According to the changelog there were some features added

2. On Runway : Delays between callouts are reduced.
3. Takeoff Flaps : Minimum takeoff flaps can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
4. Extended Hold On Runway : Implemented. Maximum hold time can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
5. Short Runway Takeoff : Added. Minimum takeoff runway length can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
6. Distance Remaining (Rejected Takeoff) : This callout is made only during braking, not during taking-off.
7. Taxiway Takeoff : Repeated callout is made when accelerating > 40kts again after reducing speed < 40kts.
8. Short Runway Landing : Added. Minimum landing runway length can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
9. Distance Remaining : Distance unit can be set in “FsRaas.ini”. (in Feet or in Meters)
10. Landing Flaps : Added. Minimum landing flaps can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
11. Too High : Added. This callout is made when descent angle > 4.5 deg.
12. Too Fast : Added. Maximum approach ground speed can be set in “FsRaas.ini”.
13. Unstable : Added.
14. Landing Report : Added.
You will find the download at Avsim’s library.
Today I found an application that was introducing by Boeing and Honeywell within the Alaska Boeing 737NG Fleet.
Its called RAAS – Runway Awareness and Advisory System.
You can download the application here.
I have prepared a short video for you:
Attention: In the current version 1.1 I only got it working when executing on the main FS machine. Via WideFS I got no sounds played. I already mailed the programmer and waiting for feedback.
Today I have received my ADF module from Opencockpits.
I already built it into the pedestal and connected to the machine.
All is working fine 🙂
You can test your knowledge about the 737 Systems on this website quiz.
There are 50 questions with a timelimit of 30 minutes.
Have fun and enjoy your knowledge 🙂
Now I have the promised video ready and uploaded.
Enjoy.
Short before the Cross the Pond flight I have received my replacement card from Leo Bodnar.
I have wired it with the Throttle axes, and it’s working.
The first flight was accompished during the cross the pond flight and all was working fine.
I will create the long promised video during the next 3 days.
