Building a 737-800 Homecockpit [OE-LNJ]

Yesterday my ATC Module has arrived:

Thanks to SimAvionics Forum, Diego shared his SIOC Code with me, and I have adopted it to work also with Squawkbox and “Ident” funtion.

Today we have created and mounted the frames for the displays. Also some nice moldings were placed to make the edges smoother.

During the next days we want to start painting the MIP.

Today we have finished the MCP bay. MCP and EFIS are already built in, the six pack will follow in the next days.

Behind the front plates we also installed the 2 loudspeakers today. The subwoofer will be placed behind the EICAS monitor.

Here is a photo from the Flaps Gauge built into the correct panel.

The next step will be building the MCP and EFIS unit into the MIP.

Today we have finished the CDU Bay.

A nice picture to imagine, how it will look like when it’s finished – Hopefully better than now 😉

Today we have prepared the CDU bay. Tomorrow we will finish it.

The delivery from Opencockpits is still missing, so we can’t continue the Autopilot panel or the MIP panels.

The 3 main panels are finally cut out for the monitors behind them.

Yesterday we have finished building all the 3 monitors into the MIP.

On the Left hand side a 19″ Monitor for PFD, EICAS is done with a 15″ and the F/O PFD is a 17″ one.

The front plate of the EICAS is also ready 🙂
