Accessories / Knobster & ProDeskSim Fuel Pan...

Last post by SwissMark - Thu, 10 Sep 2026 09:05

Captains,

If you own a Knobster hardware ....

Got a phython code available which recognizes the Knobster hardware, and translates inputs to the left  COM Radio Panel.
Same applies for those, who own the ProDeskSim 7X7 Fuel Panel (4 cut off switches).

Knobster:
- handles left side Radio Com Panel tuning and the TRANSFER button

7x/ Fuel Panel:
Autobrake logic (adapted to hardware specs)
4 x Fuel Cut off Switches
Parking Brake logic
small push button set to switch between CPT altimeters STD/set
two flip switches turn on OUTBRD / INBRD Landing Lights & STROBE Lights

Will not be sharing publicly via google drive etc, only upon request via DM.

Cheers

Mark

Accessories / Next Level Racing Haptic Vibra...

Last post by SwissMark - Thu, 10 Sep 2026 08:47

Greetings Captains,

Does anyone have a good experience with this Pad?

Assume using the Vibration softwre bridge application made by Gary, this could be very interesting .....

Next Level usually are solid products, but given the cost of this unit just wanted to make sure.

Thanks and cheers

Mark

The only times I need 429 bitwise display on the flight deck is when halfway installation I severely mistrust the wiring and I need to figure out which wires have been swapped... and unfortunately the first thing that gets miswired is the MCDU   :-D

Thank you, Avi!

Every PSX flight starts with some sort of CMC interaction with me (I love to go through a whole transit/daily check and some equipment deferral before "the crew" boards the airplane - I play both Line MTC and flight crew ;-).

Best regards,

Mariano

Hangar 7 / Re: macOS Silicon + JAVA ARM64...

Last post by Jamie - Wed, 9 Sep 2026 21:32

Just a warning:

I cannot get PSX to work in macOS 27.0 codename "Golden Gate". I'm investigating why...

So please be cautious to update, I installed it on a test-machine.

Edit: I got it running... problem from my side I guess. I used an old startup method for Java25 Tomorrow more, first some shut-eye.

To get it running with Java 12 and higher you need to start it with this:

Code Select Expand

java --add-exports=java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED --enable-native-access=ALL-UNNAMED -Xmx500m -Djava.library.path=Interfaces -jar Aerowinx.jar
Edit2: False alarm, my test machine had a wrong Java version + I installed Java 25 LTS without adjusting the starting parameters (see the code above).

Now with Java 11 aarch64 it works out of the box with macOS 27 Golden Gate and with Java 12+ you need to adjust the startup commandline parameters. Then it works just fine as it did with macOS 26 Tahoe.

Hi,

v1.16 is up.

In this version the label display in the Input Monitoring function is now corrected (it displays in reverse).

Here is a before and after picture (find the differences ):

I also added 4 new elements:

E/006/235/00 Capt Baro correction *10 (inHg)

E/056/235/00 FO Baro correction * 10 (inHg)

E/006/236/00 Capt Baro correction *10 (hPa)

E/056/236/00 FO Baro correction * 10 (hPa)

The data is displayed if the selected ADC is powered otherwise No Computed Data code is displayed.

I also updated the user guide (mainly pages 77-78: ARINC 429 description and page 107: added the new elements).

Version 1.16 is here.

The new User Guide is here.

Cheers,

Hi Derek,

Thanks for your always friendly comments on this forum!
Sad that even the sight of an optometrist will diminish in quality with age.
All humans are equal, even their eyes...

Hopefully you will find other things in life to enjoy!

May be some history:

In 2011 (!) you were patiently waiting for the coming new PSX:

"" but at the age of 74 I do not have years to wait   and PS1 has, and I know PSX  will,  give me many hours of pleasure.""
etc. etc.

May be you remember what I wrote back to you:

""Derek,

Don't be afraid ...:-).
You really will fly PSX for many, many years !

Why ?

If you take a random life-expectancy table from internet e.g.
http://www.health.state.ny.us/health_care/medicaid/publications/docs/adm/06adm-5att8.pdf
Nowadays here: https://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid/publications/docs/adm/06adm-5att8.pdf

You can see that your statistical life expectancy is >>>10 years.
etc. etc.

Accessories / Re: Pre-order Period Extended ...

Last post by JG - Wed, 9 Sep 2026 09:38

Gents, yes I ordered one, even though I have a number of successful MCP solutions in play. Minsoo has been in touch with progress videos and at last contact I sent some feedback about differing 7 segment LED display colour temperatures along with a source suggestion where to buy the needed displays with the same colour characteristics and the offer to pay extra to have that sorted. I haven't heard back how that went, however, the supplier is in the US....so I wasn't expecting a quick turn around. I'm sure the product will be all I  expect to be when I eventually receive it. Cheers, J.G.
