You should study the info off those addon programs. If they need to talk directly to FSX you can use them on another PC in the network. But then you have to use wideserver/wideclient (from Pete Dowson). Then the networked programs "thinks" it talks to FSX but infact it talks to wideclient on the second PC. Wideclient and wideserver (a dll that goes in to the dll directory of FS) do the real communicutaion on the network.Norbert

Is the unit stll available? I do not see the pic?RegardsNorbert

If that lever is comparable to the steering tiller used in the larger aircraft, then you could use the special tiller function that has been incorporated in fsuipc.norbert

Very nice project. I was interested how you did get these white characters on the knobs.regards Norbert

Thats correct. I can assure you that the new boards work. With every board I made I had hours and hours to find shorts and cold solders ( I have 4 io cards). Check also your cables. (I once had a faulty connection in one of the cables). Leds and capacitators in the right direction? The symptoms you describe seem to e like there are shorts. Use a magnifying glass or a multieter to check every connection. A lot of work, but it is the only way to succes.I know it is frustating, but keep trying, the design of the boards has been built by many and they work.good luck Norbert Bosch

download fsadmin from here:http://www.rvdijk.nl/download/fsadmin.exe

For C++ you will need the files under FSBUS 2008. (nothing from 2007 is needed)If the fsadmin does not work, download the fsbus cdk (it contains the fsadmin functionality)I will notify the webmaster for the error you mentioned when downloading the fsadmin tool about the missing file.Norbert

dl fromhttp://www.fsbus.de/3.htmlthe 2007 version is the "old" version. Quite simpel for non programmers (like me). Most things have to be put in ini files, see the docs for good info. You can even add basic code to get almost everything done what you can imagine.The 2008 version has to be used together with visual C++ and the dll. In this version you will get a exe file after programming and compiling. The biggest advance is a gain in speed.I use the 2007 version with fs9 and a quite old PC. It works very good to me. So I am not going to invest in C++ programming. For me thats a step too far.regardsNorberthttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch/

Fs9 or FSX.When talking about cockpitbuilding, it really does not matter which one you choose. All the IO cards talk/read to/from the sim via FSUIPC. Which sim you use depends more on the computerhardware you have. Many builders still use FS9.Before you start building read these 2 websites:http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/http://www.fscockpit.com/regardsNorberthttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch/

I just rebuild mine fire handles. Have a look athttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch/panel.htmlscroll down and click on the pics for a larger view.I adjusted an idea I saw at the flightsim convention at the Aviodrome at Lelystad.But because that idea is AFAIK not documented on the web, I think it is good to show it in this thread.The original manufacturer even made a locking device so the handle could not be pulled when there was no fire.When there was a fire a selonoid took the locking pin out, then you could pull the handle. When the selonoid was deactivated the locking came back to place by a spring.It was a beautiful design, but a lot of work for something you normally do not notice.What pilot pulls the handle when there is no fire?RegardsNorbert

Congratulations, looks very sturdy and very simple. Well done.I have one question, with what technique do you get those white 1 and 2 on the red plexiplate? regardsNorberthttp://home.wanadoo.nl/norbert.bosch/

Sorry, I was wrong. A long time ago I made my boards. 6pin is for flashing, 10 pins for setting CID.Did you set the jumper on pin 16 when setting the cid? Only one board must be connected to the com board when setting a cid.In fact when I made my boards I had a lot of trouble too. I found a wrong connection in my 10 pin cable. One of the connectors was not correctly connected to the metal of the flatcable. I only discovered that after using a multimeter on every line of the cable.Good luckNorbert

http://www.fscockpit.com/http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/good sites to start with.Lots of IO cards possible.If you can make them your own I suggest fsbus. Otherwise buy the assembled cards from http://www.opencockpits.com/ redardsnorbert

AFAIK you can only set the CID with the 6 pin ISP cable, not with the 10 pinscable. Thats what the ISP cable is for. By deafault CID is set to 31. Remember to remove all other cards when setting a CID. On some cards you have to set a jumper to change the CID. Just proceed exactly by the docs.Norbert
