Flightsimulator (Glass Cockpit) Flightdeck 4
Welcome
to my new Glass Cockpit Page Finally after a 5 day major C-Check
#4 overhaul of my cockpit, a fourth one is born with the look
of a Next Gen Cockpit. Added was the Engine Displays, modified
landing gear, trim, and flap levers, also a new glareshield, throttle
pedistal, seatbelts, overhead panel,
chartholders (on yokes), and FlightStands.

This
photo shows the new avionics radios which work seamlessly with MS2002
manufactured by GoFlight Inc and distributed by PC Aviator.com,
and are linked to a 4-port external powered USB Microhub. (just
for the record), if you ever decide to build a homebuilt cockpit,
don't fly without checking out these excellent companies for all
your flightsim needs, for they offer superb delivery times and are
very professional to deal with. These panels and others offered
by GoFlight Inc. come with a very simple installation software that
offers unlimited versatility. On a personal note one reason for
me installing modular panels is to completely enhance the simulatation,
by developing the eye to hand coordination with components and their
intended function, that are found in an actual aircraft cockpit,
also the incredible product by:
Project Magenta Glass
Cockpit Software, this software displays all functions that
a real aircraft would have. especially the next generation aircrafts,
ie, 737-700, 777s, etc. It's realism that does not get better than
this, be sure to visit their website and see what their product
has done for the flightsim enthusiast. Also The Team of Enrico Schiratti
is an excellent
group of people to work with, and has made my glass cockpit experience
very enjoyable, they have also created many additional programs
that work
with Project Magenta. |

Elevator Trim Wheel, and Flap
Deployment Switch
|
 |
Throttle
Quadrant located on the center console
is my Elevator Trim Wheel, Throttle Quadrant Levers, and Incremental
Flap Deployment Switch.
The Trim Wheel on the far left, is the Elevator Trim
Wheel. This wheel is used to trim the pitch of the aircraft's nose
up or down attitude, and at certain flight modes with flaps or gear
extended the elevator trim is constantly attended to.

Landing Gear and Engine Panel Displays
|
|
|
The
Landing Gear Lever, on the right of this panel actuates the
landing gear, when flipped to the up position, the landing gear
retracts for flight, when
the lever is in the down position, the landing gear is
in extended and locked position for landing, thus the 3-green leds
confirming this.
The 3-LED Gear Indicator lights on the far right top are
really cool, as they display the transitions of the landing gear
during various flight modes, of course landing and take-off being
my favorite modes. |
Throttle Quadrant and Transponder Panel |
 |
The
Transponder Panel Here I have mounted the Go-Flight Multifunction
Panel behind the Throttle Quadrant, and is programed to set the
XPDR and
Altimeter Settings as directed by ATC. |
