March 31, 200521 yr Yes it is the original PMDG FMS.I added a screen with only the FMS display and put it on the 5" LCD:[Window07] // CDU displaysize_mm=1280,670position=0visible=0ident=10301gauge00=PMDG_737NG_Main!CDU, -155,-80,1640,1800,LI ordered a X-keys input module (www.xkeys.com) for the inputs.For some unknown reason, the PMDG team made only the page-buttons programable, so I had to overcome that by adding a very small FMC to the overheadpanel:gauge20=PMDG_737NG_Main!CDU, -90,870,220,90,L //Leftgauge21=PMDG_737NG_Main!CDU, 1250,870,50,90,L //RightNow I used Key2mouse to push all the other buttons on the FMC.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/110862.jpg
March 31, 200521 yr I don't know what FDS is so...... :-)It's a wooden box and for the keyboard I used some kind of cardboard with foam inbetween, but I'm still searching for an other solutions.grtsErik Wachters
March 31, 200521 yr Hi ErikVery fine work indeed. I have been trying to look for a fairpriced 5-6" monochrome LCD monitor. Could you give advice or some links where to shop for such an item.Best regardsMichael Christiansen, Karup - Denmark
April 1, 200521 yr This seems to be a site with LCDs.How do you connect it on a pc though?Is there any kind of schematic available?http://store.earthlcd.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.136/.f_______________________________Georgios Arkouzis http://www.ivao.org/data/images/flags/waving/small/GR.gif SX077http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg_______________________________
April 1, 200521 yr >I don't know what FDS is so...... :-)The first shot you posted looks like something engraved...While the second one clearly shows some kind of printed layout.FDS is flightdecksolutions(.com) an online shop providing panel replicas.
April 1, 200521 yr No, made it myself all the way.The LCD is a 5inch TFT TV connected to a TV out on a ATI7000 PCI as a 3th monitor. Works good. No framerate drop.grtsErik Wachters
April 1, 200521 yr How do you get the FMC display on your 5" LCD? Is your 5" LCD setup as a second monitor for the PC?
