June 24, 200322 yr Inspired by Niko and Stephen Haas I have taken the first tentative steps to building myself a CDU for use with PIC.Purchased a 5" B&W TV for
June 24, 200322 yr Sounds interesting, I may try that myself. So you hooked it up using WideFS and transferred the FMC to the monitor?
June 24, 200322 yr No,used the TV Out socket of my video card. Then undocked the FMC Window, expanded the window and dragged it across to the TV monitor, so that only the CDU portion showed.Effectively it is a 2 monitor setup.
June 24, 200322 yr Mark,Good work. Glad you like the results. It does indeed add a new dimension to using PIC767.Kind regards,Stephan Haashttp://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...or=SVA1&a=a.jpg
June 24, 200322 yr Hi Mark,It's indeed a great experience to operate a real FMC keyboard and CDU. I look at my CDU much more often during the flight and learn a lot more about it's functions.The only problem ( ;-) ) being that you become to enthousiastic (like me) and try to build more hardware. It won't be long and I will have 144 hardware switches to operate.See some picture attached.Happy Flying!Nicowww.nicokaan.nl
June 25, 200322 yr Nico,Since the first time I clicked on a link to your website many moons ago I have been sure to come back and visit on a regular basis with much anticipation of seeing your latest screenshots.Thanks for sharing your dream of a cockpit and the amazing journey to get there with the rest of us. You are by far one of the people that make this newsgroup/community what it is today.Sincerely,Ian Elchitz CYWG
June 25, 200322 yr Ian,I am glad you like it. I strongly believe in sharing of information (at least with respect to a hobby ;-) ). Have learnt a lot from other guys in this forum. By the way, my website attracts visitors from all over the world, that is also an exciting experience. I plan to publish a list of the countries from which people have visited my site. You'll see that our PIC767 flightsim hobby is part of the global village!Do not forget to thank Stephan Haas as well. His enthousiasme and ideas have inspired me to continue!Regards,NicoEHAM
June 25, 200322 yr Mark, You say you ran the tv from the TV out on your graphics card, is this a second graphics card? I thought if you plugged into the TV out on a single graphics card it disabled the other output?If it doesnt then I can have my FMC ,ACARS etc on the portable TV by my computer!!!
June 25, 200322 yr I have been watching the evolution of this thing since you started. VERY nice Nico!Mike
June 26, 200322 yr looking great, really a nice looking setup there, I love how that all looks!!! both of the setups!
