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.

Today I have published a first version of the cockpit system overview. The PDF file will show you each of the used PCs with the attached modules to it. The file can be found under “downloads” from the menue.

Also today I have reworked the wiring for the LEDs and preperation for the taxtil fabric for the overhead was done.

On Saturday I was flying 3 legs online with a friend during the VATSIM 24hours Franfurt online night. Great feeling 🙂

During next week, hopefully, my 2 gauges for vertical speed and duct press will arrive from spain 🙂 The wiring for those is already completed.

If somebody want’s to donate me something for my project, feel free to use this button or the button in the sidebar to the right.

Every amount is welcome and will be used only for continous improvement of the project.

Thanks alot.

Yesterday I flew the 1st time online with VATSIM in the cockpit. Theflown leg was from LOWW to LIRN.

2 Photos from the apron @LIRN.

• A “Boarding completed” sound that will be played when all doors are closed. Before the sound starts, the blue CALL light will illuminate. With a push on the attend button on the overhead the light will go off.
• When you push the Test button from the Cockpit Voice Recoder you will hear a wav file with some spoken cockpit phrases
• a push on the test button from the Cockpit Voice Recorder triggers another sound file.
• the erase button will play an erase successful message over the speakers in the cockpit

Saturday, 7th August, I performed the 1st testflight from LOWW to LOWG in my Simulator. All systems where working as expected. During the approach we had to cross some heavy thunderstorms and rain. The photo shows the ND during approach.

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.

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.
