![Building a 737-800 Homecockpit [OE-LNJ]](https://737cockpit.info/wp-content/files/2016/05/Header_6.jpg)
Today I have finished painting the Yoke.
Category: Cockpit sections
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.
Overhead support structure
Yesterday we have installed an additional support strucutre to the overhead.
And a panel for all the controller cards.
Yoke mounted
Yesterday I have mounted the Yoke onto the MIP.
On the weekend the 1st online flight event will be performed with the Cockpit.
LOWW-LIRN-LOWS
Overhead lights
Yesterday the reading lights in the overhead where installed. The photo shows the FO side. A photo with turned on lights will follow.
Overhead cover mounted
Today I have mounted the overhead cover on both sides of the overhead. In the next days I will paint it with RAL7011 color.
Next step will be installing some reading-lights to the overhead as well as the gauges.
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.
