Hi All,

 

I am thinking of taking my simulator to the next step and replacing some of my saitek hardware with a better MCP & EFIS. I haven't quite decided on Jetmax or GoFlight yet. I am also working towards a triple screen setup. I would like to run the avionics on a networked PC so as not to overload my FSX rig. I have downloaded a demo of sim-avionics but cannot for the life of me get it working properly with either the default 737 or my PMDG 737 NGX. I would love to her from anyone who can give me a few pointers. There seems to be very little in the way of tutorials out there.

 

I am currently trying this out on my networked laptop that I use for ASN, EFB & PFPX. I know a laptop isn't ideal but I want to get a feel for how this works before committing to buy the software ($700) and build a 2nd PC just for the avionics. All I want to achieve right now is to display the captains PFD & ND

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I own the Jetmaxx MCP/EFIS from FlightDeckSolutions (of Canada) - and I'm totally happy with it.  Also own their Pro-Max CDU and the Sim-Avionics software.  Flying in XPlane 10, networked, with 3 PCs/Monitors for the visuals, an all-in-one HP Rove for the Glass Cockpit, and an i7 for the Sim-Avionics Server.  It all works flawlessly.  

 

FlightDeckSolutions is quality - all the way.  I'm completely satisfied and recommend them to you without hesitation.  Check my YouTube videos to see their stuff in action.  I haven't shot film of the MCP/EFIS yet, but plan to soon!

Hi Peter,

 

I actually came in to see you last week

 

Should I just post over at FDS forum for help? I just want to make sure I understand fully what I need to do to set up the demo of the SA software
