Overhead in the final place

During the weekend we have mounted the overhead into his final place. We archieved another importmant milestone during the cockpit project.

All systems are working well. Only the LCD display lost 2 connections, but this can be resolved during the next days.
In the following weeks we will continue to work on the overhead construction.

Here a nice shot from some wires on the back of the overhead.

Structure building

Today we have started building the structure for the overhead-wall mouting.

This was our material 6x 3m long and 34mmx50mm dimension

This was the finished product:

Also the second side was finished. Between those 2 structures the Overhead will be mounted.

Today we have bought all the needed materials for the overhead support structure. On Friday we want to start cutting the wooden elements and start building them together. Let’s see how this will work…

Vacation – no updates during the last weeks

As I was on vacation the last weeks, I will start mounting the overhead in the next few weeks.

Updates will be posted as usual.

Changed Graphic Card

Today I have change my Nvidia graphiccard for an ATI HD 5770 Eyefinity Edition. Now I can connect 3 monitors to the PC and enjoy flying with them. The Eyefinity feature only works in Windows 7.

More information about Eyefinity can be found here.

Pictures will be available during the next weekend, because I have to reinstall my FS again.

First Test Flight

Today I have all the PCs and Avionics connected. From the Captain Side all LED boxes as well as switches were soldered.

I can share a phot after a successful testflight @KBFI.

The Overhead is missing, during the next weeks we will mount it to the wall. As it is not mounted at this time, no LEDs are working, because the OC USB Output Cards are on the Overhead attached.. 😉
