No 1080p On Zune With Component?

The overhead! : D

And so came the overhead Poldragonet.
I read several opinions about the overhead involved.
The quality is excellent! Customer Care Poldragonet is outstanding! I was in contact with the leaders for days getting immediate adequate responses. Payment
fast shipment in 5 days after Poland and excellent quality material:) I bought the entire overhead
(fwd), heralds the package (so no electronics), and the switch to the APU (ON / OFF / MON)
But now we go to the photos:)

















superglue With the help of my brother and I paste the ads and I also arranged the purchase of a soldering iron.
Next step? Transfer cards in the overhead, find a dealer with the right switch but also study and learn to settle: D
will say how can a diploma in electronics do not know how to solder? The Italian school does this and more, and I admit that I was not just me who did not want to study.
See you at the next step!

Computer Art Tablet For Sale

And here are the first members!

As promised here are the pictures of the first components:)









The grandfather is now targeting the project instead of the overhead frame.
I hope within a month to have the backbone of the overhead panels and 2 others to assemble.
I was lucky thanks to my mentrore fitting the IO-CARD and see them work and I was able to configure it with a switch to control the extension and retraction of the carriage of a 737 by default!
But as I have already explained, due to space constraints and other problems at the moment I prefer to dedicate myself only to the hardware and collect more panels and components as possible.
Just be ready with the new hardware, especially space and time to talk also the programming of all because if it were not for my friend I would not be able to do just a beautiful thing! In fact, as he went away I was not able to recreate most any other command.
clear sign that I have to put me to study;)
the next post!

Best 3d Apartment Design Software

good news and a new order. What

Finally the news that all the waiting.
Maybe I came at the very moment when the waters began to move.
Well, how many of you know the difficulty of a hardware interface with software is that the interface must learn to "read" the plane. Let me explain, I turn on the APU, but how can I make the APU BUS LED is turned on?
1) Buying Project Magenta (but it costs a sudden we are more than 1000 €)
2) Avoid turning on lights (unreal, or that is homecockpit?)
3) Use an interface that works independently and in parallel with the plane (as Prosimii)

The best solution seems to be the third, but as I said working in parallel.
What is in "parallel"?
Just imagine the situation. I turn on the APU interface with my hardware and the same Prosimii Prosimii I turn on the LED because it is the same software drigli to be turned on, but not because it is the plane to tell him to come on! This is because as I said PMDG has never released the off-set that allows FSUIPC to read the states of the aircraft.

All they will say, why do not you change planes and then?
simply because they do not exist.
Currently there is only the 767 level-d that all the off-set in the clear, but I'm driven to make a 737.
Now comes the good news:)
After years of development has finally reached him, or 737ifly

The site is http://iflysimsoft.com/

They say it was a great plane but also has a large special .
Wanting to be in effect the great antagonist of the PMDG house that produces it through his forum has made it known to be affected in the design of cockpit and builders to create with our help interface that allows complete interface plane and then to make the public off-set. IFly
Develop is already in contact with some companies like opencockpits (just what I use) to define the project strategy and the basis for the creation of the new interface.
This news could finally make that dream come true for many, that have a complete interface 737.
Needless to say, all this will take some time, several months of work, but this will allow me to buy many parts as possible for my overhead.
I present my new order of 195 € in the meantime.

1 Output cards to link the digital outputs, and then the LEDs and then the following panels

Fuel panel
Source panel

I also bought a plastic cover

An encoder 8 position and its "knob" to control the ignition of one of the wipers.
This time I did not buy because I prefer to buy privately switches from the dealer and especially well suited to. To make
also "sticks" more realistic I buy of the lever cover very similar to those found at actual www.simparts.de . I will devote a post belonging to this company that also provides cover realisitici landing light "3 cats eyes"
but not knowing the exact measurements, and to avoid incurring unnecessary purchases, I prefer to receive the first panels of the first two orders, then buy the coprilevetta simparts and then with one of these go hand coprilevetta at my dealer to find the switch perfectly to the panel and its cover lever;)

I remember that my first order was shipped and should arrive within a few hours, maybe tomorrow morning. As soon as I receive
beginning to take photos and see how it comes out the first installation of my overhead.
course is only a very small stone, but without the first step is not going anywhere. We also hope that iFly Develop
able to release the much needed interface, although during this time, I will have the chance to grow my hardware.
For now, a greeting to all and we are directly next to the post after receiving the goods first!

Reebok Precision Instructions

and make my first order

Well, let's actually say what I'm about to make.
So let's put it that way. Everyone is familiar with Flight Simulator right? Exactly FS2004, FSX, as is particularly heavy for the computer.
The plane that I decided to interface is the 737-800
To be able to interface we will need to choose a "logic" of components and above all choose one of several cases that allow us to interface our home cockpit.
After years of visits I have finally chosen as the "parent" whose website is opencockpits www.opencockpits.com
how their logic is based? How can an external switch turning on a light in Flight Simulator?
Well, what you need to have is:

-Simulator (FS2004)
-L 'aircraft (Boeing 737 PMDG)
-software interface (SIOC for opencockpits, other houses using other software)
-software that allows you to "read" the air like the famous Project Magenta
-L 'hardware that allows to connect the input as a switch (I / O cards)
-recorded FSUIPC version sold for 23 €
-2 / 3 networked computers to allow everyone to communicate between the various parties
-Patience
Space-
-Money


The passion and dedication can slowly "to solve these problems"
No home cockpit builders put up his 737 in 5 days, even spending € 40,000.
also an airline that receives an order for a new plane after many months or even years (most likely). Same thing for the 737 people who decide to build it at home.
I personally, considering the low budget and the large amount of systems I have thought about doing a kind of "merge" or find some way out.
Let's start with the check-list of components


-simulator (I keep)
-L 'air (keep it)
-software interface (I keep it with opencockpits it's free)
-software that allows you to read the air (do not hold it, but I am following the development of this software here www.prosim737.com ) In practice a few months, a new suite-style project magenta will be available at a modest price of 300 € and will be able to interface with all systems. The Beta version is already available and above all it's free updates included. This means that I will be able to interface with most systems and well as controlling a switch, receiving a particular state, or bind to a command output (turn on a switch, a light that shows me is on). But I can explain everything in detail when I get the first components and especially the software will allow me to make them work.
-L 'hardware that allows me to connect (They're coming, and the explanation of the IO card is at the end of this list)
-FSUIPC (keep it)
The rest is easy.
Well, what are the IO cards?


Here is an example of the master card http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/electronic-cards-iocards-master-digital-inputsoutp-c-21_27.html


These printed circuit boards that can be connected to the PC through the program and the program SIOC FSUIPC can be "read" and interpreted as data and state changes by the simulator.


The master card is the main card (not a credit card:)
Connects INPUT and OUTPUT but does not allow many other things.
The master card can be connected to the PC via parallel port, which now no longer uses the computer, which is why that may be associated with the USB card " http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/expansion-card- p-37.html? cPath = 21_30 . With this we can connect the master card to the PC via USB.
There are many other cards (such as stepper, servo motor, display) that allow you to realize many things, but for now only talking about these so life is easier for everyone.


I also bought the INPUT CARD " http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/inputs-connection-p-70.html?cPath=21_27 " that allows me to connect 35 inputs.


OUTPUT I have not bought the card that allows you to have and then connect the outputs of the LEDs that indicate a state. Also from the site
opencockpits I also ordered the first panel of my overhead or the first part I would like to make visible in this picture at the bottom




http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/lights-panel-p- 177.html? cPath = 23_25_42
This is the panel at the bottom of the overhead lights, which contains the landing lights, lights for the cab, controls, APU, the switches for the ignition of engines and igniter, and the outside lights switches.


clearly I also bought the switch:



http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/onoff-switch-p-124.html?cPath=24_55

I bought the 8-position rotary switches for the starter

http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/positions-rotary-switch-p-155.html?cPath=24_55

I bought the "cover" to make all switches realistic as
these for starters http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/knob-type-p-276.html?cPath=50 http://www.opencockpits and switch covers. com/catalog/switch-units-p-143.html? cPath = 24_55

summary spending
Master card
-1 -1 -1 USB card
Input card
- Panel lights
30 -2 ° 8 rotary positions
-10 white cover lever
-2 starter cover for rotary
- 5 switches ON / OFF switch
-1 TIME / OFF / MOMENTARY
-1 switch ON / OFF / ON


Total € 235

are still waiting for the shipment, and as you can see if everything is gonna be I might just € 235 for the chance to already avoid using the mouse and keyboard to not only turn on all outside lights, but even the starter of engines, landing lights, but especially the taxi lights turn on the APU.
Clearly spending is increased by the expedition from Spain (20 €) and IOCARD (around 100 €), I would also point out that the switches can always be purchased from our trusted hardware in house, and then allows a further reduction.
But you want to put the satisfaction of the track once released to control lights and APU directly by pushing the levers rather than using mouse and keyboard?


For now I have given the guidelines of my project but now once everything will be interfaced as I go on?
Well here is my list in order of preference.


1) Complete the overhead panel after panel of which the first panel of switches must be the energy of the aircraft (APU - GRD-Gen 1 and Gen 2) panel, but has also led and therefore a more complicated discussion that I hope to address in the future thanks to a OUTPUT CARD, software Prosimii and especially the purchase of the advertised package around 120 € (announcers of all overhead)


2) Choose the carpenter of trust that make the backbone of the overhead, which is the frame that allows you to put the panels like this that costs about 220 €.


( http://www.737ngsim.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=117&category_id=18&option = com_virtuemart & Itemid = 65 & lang = en )

who may well be self-built home with wood or plexiglass with the most expensive. I'm turning to look for a carpenter in the meantime economic :)


3) Buy the control surfaces of course!
Trhustmaster When I use a joystick, but with time to drive my 737 I will use this bundle for about 280 € (send postage included)




With the usual logic of "gradually"

What makes a special mortgage?
Surely these three components
the MCP or the autopilot


http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/737ng-without-p-111.html ? cPath = 22_61

The EFIS



http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/efis737-mounted-with-p-136.html? cPath = 22_61

and a beautiful FMC


http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/b737-mounted-ready-p-197.html?cPath=22_61 These three components

meriterrebero a separate discussion, since they can be purchased at other homes, obtaining products of "high bill" but against clearly have a much higher price the best kinds in circulation, or the MCP PRO CPFLIGHT


price around 1200 €

complete the work by the always wonderful radio opencockpit completely plug-and-play allowing the creation of a pedestal funzionanete and especially high impact and benefits by eliminating the use of mouse operations in exchange for radio and navigation frequency


Price € 139 excluding VAT (we around 150 €)

I hope to have been limited for this first post descriptive, I can not wait to receive the first component is mounted. Once the panel is up and configured (and working perfectly) I'll be happy to show you the pictures and especially the tutorial on how to achieve it!


Greetings to all and leave you with a picture taken by me ...

Site presentation of my project and

So once again welcome;)
Now I have a few more free hours and I can explain everything to everyone. Short
parentheses;)
My name is Thomas, born and raised in Naples, a university student with a bracket from a flight attendant until a few months ago.
As a child my grandfather portvava tested in a runway watching the planes land every Sunday. Over the years I have collected models (aircraft), encyclopedias, posters, gadgets and everything that had anything to do with planes. Meanwhile, in 14 years I found the interactive flight simulation with Flight Simulator through the network of IVAO flying into the ranks of the virtual airline Napulevola (www.napulevola.it) with which I could learn the major concepts and principles of flight navigation air. Napulevola is not just a virtual airline, but also a legally binding ONLUS recognized.
Thanks to them I met the first people that I have permission to rise to this new world.
How did you know I wanted to do the pilot work that I did not sleep at night but I bumped into the great difficulties encountered in the street especially economcia nature. After graduation at 19, thanks to reports of a dear friend I was lucky enough to work as a flight attendant in a popular low-cost airline that has allowed me to live abroad. Unfortunately a car accident in early summer forced me to quit my job and then leave the real flight for a few months.
During my beautiful 18 months AA / VV I had the opportunity for first time realize the dream, or working in an airline, airport and above all have an ID dress uniforms with wings and my name attached. As this paper I will miss being at home is not so bad if I think I have the chance to closely look after the people who need me closely.
Not having the opportunity to be able to put on board a true 737 I thought I could do at home "very calm" and trying to spend as little as possible.
Thanks to a dear person and I thank him I learned the basics dell'Homecockpit building. But what is a
homecockpit?
Well, the home cockpit is a replica of a cockpit directly at home. Walk-in which will then be interfaced with various devices and software for a mortgage in this case fligh Simulator 2004.
This project, as well as the more expensive and requires immediate patience and a lot of time to achieve, especially because the homecockpit follows the logic of "more realizable, and the more I want to achieve." Needless to say that there are insurmountable economic barriers, but that does not mean that little by little I can do something cool and that I too can make the flight simulator experience more rewarding and closer to reality.
My aim is to use this site to share my experience with all simmes and learn new techniques on construction.
Needless to say, the plane that I want to achieve is the Boeing 737-800.
In the next post I will write in detail the steps instead of my first order, and above all a kind of "quick tutorial" on the achievement of home cockpit and above the guidelines of my project.

leave any comment is well appreciated by me will be happy to respond!
Greetings to all and Happy Landings!

Opening

Welcome to my new blog. Before we begin, I would like to thank a person from a phone call and an e-mail me the new world is slowly. As soon as possible to thank him publicly.

What I want to achieve? Well, start from the presupposition that I have very little space, but I can say however that I have available a great deal of patience.
My first project involves the construction of a light panel 737 (to mean lower overhead)
In the next post I will explain the history, especially the interface and links on how to buy the components. As soon as everything will be ready to follow assembly instructions and photos
soon;)
