February 8, 200521 yr Hi folks, after a long time of planing and designing a new power lever quadrant I got to work and here's some pictures of the result I got so far. As it sais in dutch on that page: "I am very much satisfied with the result so far!"http://users.skynet.be/porreke/blogger/blog.html
February 8, 200521 yr Hi Philippe,It looks very good! Congrats. I'm still waiting for Simavionics to release their 767 TQ, but if they dont before summer, I think I'll follow your example.Nicowww.nicokaan.nl
February 9, 200521 yr Again new pictures of todays work:http://users.skynet.be/porreke/blogger/blog.htmlThis time I'm working on the first power lever. Now it is more than 60% done. Looks great, feels great and will work super. At least the slide-pot will work perfect. Now for the detents and the ground-range lock ... But that's all for this weekend or the next.Cheers,
February 18, 200521 yr http://users.skynet.be/porreke/blogger/blog.htmlNew pictures of my real (new) F50 panel and my mini LCD's
February 19, 200521 yr Nice panel, where did you get it?Oh, and btw: THAT much LCD's? How much does PHCC support?-edit-just checked, you'll need 3 daughterboards. Not bad :(
February 19, 200521 yr I got the panel from flash aviation in holland. Their site sais they got more F50 panels but I checked and they all are F70/100 :(In fact I need minimum of 5 working LCD's. (xpdr + nav1 + com1 + ap-alt + adf1). So that will be the start.However, I got 10 because at 10 on order the price drops. And it will look much better if I use the same "thing" in the com2 panel and the nav2 panel even though they might or might not work.The PHCC site at the moment sais 4 max. That's wrong. It should be 8 max so I will need 2 LCD boards and then I can do them all and I even got spare left to interface 2 big 2*40 LCD's and put them where the FMC is.At the moment I've dedicated them: *overhead: none*glare: NAV1 / NAV2 / AP-ALT*MIP: DME*pedestall COM1 / COM2 / ADF1 / ADF2 / XPDRThen I got 1 left over, which I might put in the MIP or in the overhead. I'll start first on the doughterboards as soon as they become available and the USB as soon as you can get me that one. Then try to work out how to write the software. Once that will work, I'll be one heck of a happy man !
