SEATAC 400 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Das ist sehr gut! It looks like it could really fly. Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 ...there is something missing in tools and materials but good for these circumstances, not perfect but useful. :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 lol - it almost looks like a tank sim! Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 as well lol; certainly no expert knowledge of aircraft and cockpit building, you better continue driving tanks; fwd: continue armor ! Link to post Share on other sites
David TRIGGS 0 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Looks serious this cockpit ...... Great ...... David Link to post Share on other sites

aeromax 10 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 ...Multiplex to fly every Aircraft you like to and not configured to only one type. The only Bad thing is, to get it stable infront and of few parts, working on it, Stay tuned, thanks, Five by Five ... Max Link to post Share on other sites

There are a number of us at my old VA who believe the same thing: dedicating your cockpit to a single type of aircraft may look great but can become boring really fast!

aeromax 10 Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 .but on the other hand, raises the question whether a particular type of aircraft simulator will not get bored too. if you only ever one and the same type flies. take care, best wishes, regards, max Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 True enough. I suppose it all depends on how generic you want it to be. There comes a point where some gauges or modules are simply unsuited for the airframe in question such as a mixture lever for a jetliner, or a Boeing 737-style MCP for a King Air 350. The holy grail may be the incorporation of things like iPads to offer 'virtual' push-button interfaces that can be reconfigured from one plane to the next. Link to post Share on other sites
PanzerFodder 0 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Look's great, but where the hell did you find the space to set all that lot up? and how did your wife take it when you started building it? :o Cheer's...Graham... Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi Graham, :biggrin: thank´s, that's a good question. But do not take away a lot of space. It is rather the problem to wire everything systematically, if you even have a loss. And my wife, she was the one who has even suggested to me that, and allows for space . She is very interested, but only fly in the real airplane with me. Currently I have turned 17 USB connections. This is partly a very big problem for the computer. It happens a few times that one or other usb-connection does not work or is not going active, although all are fed with extra power. The joke is that I usually had not before, to build so extensive. It was getting more and more. I already have plans for the second and better simulator. Best wishes, Link to post Share on other sites
David TRIGGS 0 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Indeed, this is the great question for home cockpit builders ... how specific to one aircraft type to get (as near 100% accurate as possible) OR how generic to leave it (allowing fairly realistic flying in many planes). Some of the Boeing simulators one sees on this and other forums are fantastic, but do the owners never ever honestly want to do a little VFR flying in a GA craft? There are solutions ... always with compromises to reality to make ... eg removable panel masks backed up by FS panel configurations for each aircraft. David Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Indeed, that´s true !.Well in real life, i have the opportunity to fly with real-GA aircrafts. This is absolutely fantastic and not get bored. Nevertheless, prices are rising now in the immeasurable. Let's see how this continues. Link to post Share on other sites

M31 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I'd love to take a flight in your Sim Just been looking and commenting on Needles thread and that is is the generic type of panel I aspire to build, agreed with comments here, unless we desperately only want to fly one simulated aircraft type and model our home cockpits after that, then we will have to settle for generic pits ... and why not, they will still offer much immersion, the dedicated almost 1/1 scale model replica flight sim cockpits (mostly airliner ones I've seen) are highly impressive but are one trick pony's, the Combat jet sim guys do this too ... but I at least hanker after flight simulation of all genres ... even Space Shuttle 2007 and its next iteration. Compromises have to be made ... my thoughts for my panel are ever evolving, but I need a generic GA aviation type panel that can be swapped fairly quickly to a military HOTAS setup that will do for WW1, WW2 and Jet sim combat ... I'm working towards that. What part of Germany are you from Aero? I lived there three years as a teen, loved it Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 That is correct. Only a B737 or B767 or A320 to build a static simulator is indeed ingenious but exhausted quite quickly. To this end I try to use several functions as well as several types of aircraft and connect with the FSUIPC-type specific. The whole combined with real aircraft parts. Other renovations will follow and the pictures above are almost a thing of the past. For questions, a short mail to me. Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 The revision is in full swing; hope to present it in summer 2012. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi Max, Looking forward to the 2012 update, Good luck with your revisions Link to post Share on other sites
aeromax 10 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yes thank you. Is some work, but is completely redesigned. You always learn and to develop further things. We'll see what I get everything ready by the summer. Will inform you. In any case, many real aircraft parts and displays in the cockpit can be found again. Link to post Share on other sites
