February 13 2001 - We have received numerous emails inquiring as to when we will be posting more AVI's of the simulator. I promise they are coming. We are currently installing some new modules to the simulator. A IRS (Inertial Reference System) is currently be installed to the overhead panel along with a fuel systems module. Both incorporate digital displays. We are also in the process of purchasing another, yet better, LCD projector for the front view. Once these things are accomplished, more AVI's will follow. in fact, we intend on making a video similar to those titled "Flight in the Cockpit". This video will be for sale at a reasonable price and will include takeoffs, landings and a complete flight. During the flight, we will document and explain many of the systems in the simulator to include, the AFDS automated flight system, the control display unit, Magenta software and much more. Stay tuned and we expect release of this video sometime in mid Spring.....................
