Peter Thomas, Brisbane, Australia
This cockpit started 6 months ago, when I purchased a couple of goflight modules. From that I added gauges from Simkits and an xkeys keyboard encoder. As I wanted to drive gauges for a twin engine and led indicators I added a 32 Port interface module and 4 port servo module from Phidgets. Added some VB code and freefd and here it is, a general purpose simulator. The Phidgets and Freefd are driven on a second computer using FSUIPC. Now that the Simkits SDK has been released I've added code to drive the guages from Falcon 4. Upgraded the Thrustmaster FLCS to a Cougar. The top three screens are driven off a Matrox Parhelier on the main computer, the lower screen is driven by the second computer.

The primary programs I use are FS2004, Flanker 2.5 and Falcon 4 .

The photos show the progress of the Cockpit from the hunks of wood (just to see if it would really work:)), the building of the frame. the testing of the electronics, through to finally flying.

The Kits are Back

After an absence of more than a year, the kits are back. But not all kits, just the USB Aircraft Gauge Kits. We’ve received so many requests from customers to bring back these kits, since they are very easy to construct and even easier to modify to a different gauge, that we’ve decided to bring back the USB Aircraft Gauge Kits
