July 9, 20205 yr Hello, I have built my M20R based cockpit. it is now at a stage where I can show it and where I can use it. The Cockpit is based on a Mooney M20R but can also simulate any other single engine aircraft. I have 2 32inch LCD screens for left and right view and one projector for the front view. The simulator I use is X-Plane (V 11.50 B13) and there are 3 screens for the instruments. Each screen is connected to a Raspberry Pi running AirManager. Curently I am testing the new G5 (in the video below you see it, always as PFD configurated...) from siminnovations. For the main instruments I use an old Laptop Monitor where the face can be changed so I can have steam gauges, mixed or complete digital instrumentaion, the others are connected to 2 touchscreen monitors (which I unfortunately cannot use, because there are only drivers for other linux distributions...). Hardware I use is from several vendors: The yokes from Honneycomb, the peals from saitek, the NAV 2, COM 2 and Autopilot panel from propwash sim Starter switch, gearlever and the tpm are from simmax.it. butkicker ist driven by bff shaker card the panel itself is lasercutted. I have designed it and a friend has cutted it on his machine. the construction is plywood of 1,5mm thickness and the shell ist 1.2mm thick plywood covered with fabric and leather. To simulate the vibrations I have added a butkicker and uncoupeled the base from the floor. Here ist the Video, I would apreciate followers, I have planned some flights here in Austria and Europe for the next weeks.. Have fun and happy landings!
