Re: Bell 206 Jetranger Project

Cool, thanks for the link to the monitor you found as well. I have been ordering the same one from China and this is cheaper and with faster shipping as well. I'll post pics in a new forum topic, I finally settled on the fixed wing sim I'll be building along side the Jetranger.

Re: BendixKing KLR 10 AOA indicator

I hate losing work like that, it's frustrating for sure. I'm just thinking out loud here but it would be cool if there was a round style gauge that would fit into an instrument panel? not sure if Bendix King has something like that? either way it will be a great addition.

cheers

Re: Set of Collins radio controllers in development

Thanks Alfred, that was an easy addition to make to the panel and I think it's going to be a big improvement as far as giving it some depth and realism. Cheers

Re: Set of Collins radio controllers in development

Good suggestions Alfred, I will definitely make more room for the wires to run. The panel will be made from two sections, the back side will be cut from 1/2" MDF to make room for the switch's to mount. For the front of the panel I have been using 2 ply engraving plastic with good success. It en...

I would love to see an angle of attack indicator for FSX. Looking forward to this one.

Re: Bell 206 Jetranger Project

That looks exactly like the screens inhabe been using. I believe the touchscreen functions with a raspberry Pi but not on a normal computer. I haven't needed the touch screen function so I haven't even tried it. The touchscreen function works with a separate USB connection.

Re: Bell 206 Jetranger Project

The screen is just one of the cheap 7" LCD screens from China, it is compatible with the Pi from what the listing said but I am just using it on my desktop. I got screwed on the screen though as the seller didn't include the drive board and having never been scammed before I ended up giving him...

Re: Bell 206 Jetranger Project

Hello Alfred, I sent you the STL files a few days ago, let me know if you didn't get them. I'm happy to share any of my work with anyone who might be interested. I mentioned it in the email I sent you but thought it might be of interest to people here as well. Fusion 360 CAD/CAM is free for hobbyist...

Re: Set of Collins radio controllers in development

Ain't that the truth Ralph, even when cut on cnc or laser it's never as pretty as the renders. The work you did Flyatr is top notch.

Re: Set of Collins radio controllers in development

Hopefully it's ok that I hijack your post about your software development with some hardware development? I finished a six pack radio panel that will fit over a computer monitor with your gauges in the background. I had to make the panel .4" think with a very thin engravable plastic sheet as th...
