Hey guys, Some of you might know I’ve been building the simpit for a while. I would like to incorporate IMFD as a default flight computer but have a question regarding its GUI. In my design I need to shuffle MFD’s buttons around to accommodate hardware buttons arrangement (see Fig. 03)...

That's what my initial thought was. But I can't see how one supposed to wire them, cause the hole itself is blind and there is no space for wires (see pictures attached). I ended up with printing plugs with locating pin, which has a snug fit even without applying glue. That method of filling...

Hey guys, Progress report 2024-W22: Some progress is made design the main instrument panels structure PMFD and AMDF are now being disassembled to have all parts painted, including button caps. Several parts have been painted. 2mm glass are ordered for protection all three MFD screens. Little...

Thank you for the links, some great info right there! :) Yes I got a lot shuttle photos like those as well with all inside panels and instruments installed, but never saw stripped down version of crew compartment from the inside during manufacturing, only from outside (see attached). I've found...

Some photos of real Buran's main panel without instruments + couple of bonus shots. I got A LOT of them in my archives - feel free to contact me if you need any reference. If you got similar photos of Space Shutte – PLEASE let me know. I could not find any yet..

Hey guys, Progress report 2024-W21: Enclosure for fuel indicator is printed. Ready for paint. Modelling rev. C of the Main instrument panel is started. The structure itself is planned to be self-contained with several cannon connectors in the back. My main inspiration for this one is Buran...

Hey guys, Progress report 2024-W20: 1) A cumstom heatsink (2611-0010) was manufactured for A100 board (PMFD PSU board). 2) GPIO wiring for PMFD is complete. 3) Reverse ingineeing orocess starded to study force/feeling mechanics of EATON 584 switch. It all comes down to a small assembly with 2x...

Afternoon everyone, Progress report 2024-W19: Raspberry pi adapter PCBs (E2160001) are arrived from China last week (it is a common board across all 3x MFDs), soldering of components is completed. Internal wiring and cable management of 10’’ AMFDs are finished (except GPIO wiring). All 4x...

Hmm, interesting. Could you record a video clip of that behavour?

Have you accidentally split throttles?

Hey guys, Having one extra day off last Monday due to Bank holiday was good for overall progress of the sim :) Progress report 2024-W18: 1) Both 10'' AMFDs are finished both electrically and mechanically at 95% - I'm waiting for PCBs to arrive from China and 2x JST connectors to complete those...

Not a proper music per se, but it's fun to watch playing via old CRT scope in X-Y mode :)

Haha, thanks mate :) I'm not sure about making them commercially (at least for now), but I can provide files for DIY when it's finished and tested.

Here are couple of screenshots of the controller. 75% I stated above was wishful thinking lol Real progress is about 50-60 percent or thereabouts. Haven't touched the model for couple of years for sure...

Not yet, but I do plan to build it. The CAD model is 75% ready (I'll post a snapshot when get back home). I've decided to finish those instruments first before undertaking any next endeavours haha
