Cross the pond – VATSIM online event
Tomorrow, Saturday 30th, the yearly Cross the Pond Eastbound will take place on the VATSIM network.
Our route will be from KBOS (Boston) to LOWW (Vienna). The exact route will be published tomorrow morning.
We will also activate the Cockpit Cam for this event, but as it is the first event running with this cam, expect some delays or malfunctions. If it won’t work, we need to disable it again.
You can track our flight in this map. 2 friends will join me in the cockpit during our flight. The flight time is estimated with around 8 hours.
UPDATE: Cockpit Cam Site is setup and will be active – powered by PushTV from VACC-Austria

New release 1.14 from SimAvionics
Last week a new release was published from Mark.
Version 1.14 is now the newest one. You can download it via the SimAvionics Website.
There are new features built in and some bugs are resolved. But also some old bugs were not resolved (GPS arrivials for Frankfurt,…)
The whole changelog can be found also on the SimAvionics website here.
Overhead structure finished
Today my wife was fabulous and helped me with the black fabric that will cover the overhead structure.
The fabric was mounted with a velcro so it can be removed when needed to access the controller cards behind.
Thanks again my honey 🙂
Next steps will be to build the Gear Leveler and during winter maybe the throttle.
Yoke painted
Today I have finished painting the Yoke.
SELCAL function added
Today I have added also a SELCAL function to the Overhead. During atlantic crossings the pilot will be called from ATC via SELCAL and the pilot will respond via radio than.
Click more to see the SIOC code.
Here is a video with the SELCAL function working.
Duct Press Gauge Video
As promised here the video from the working duct press gauge with the new servo motors built in.
The video from the vertical speed gauge is not ready yet, because the SIOC code need to be adopted to work correct with SimAvionics.
As soon as it is finished I will publish it here.
Gauge improvement
Three days ago I have received the gauges (duct press and vertical speed) from Opencockpits.
As the built in servo motors are quite loud on holding position, I have changed them to another type. Within 3 hours all 3 servos were replaced and ready to be built in. During the weekend I want to implement the gauges in the overhead panel. A video will follow once they are working.
