your sim is great
the flight dynamics its like flying a real full motion airline training sim
how simalar is the flight model in your sim to say a CAE 747 full motion sim
braking mometum down the runway feels right
and
during the approach to landing the control colums is pulled back in you lap with big aileron movements
so that matches you tube 747 cockpit landing vids
xplane 12 got a virtual cockpit

looking for pics from left seat cockpit perspective of a 747 400 and 747-8i
pic to be looking straight foward at the main instrument panel or primary flight instruments with the glare and some of the front window showing
so can cut out the front window for landing practice etc
for a single monitor flight sim
so i can cut holes out of these pics as a png image for the PFD ND ECAS and EFIS MCP
then overlay on xplane 12 scenery generator
i can pay for these if they are avalible on alamy or istock etc
4k or 8k res
this one from matterport would have been ideal but the model on matterport isnt avalible

Last post by Swiso - Sun, 7 Apr 2024 07:02Hello,
By chance anyone has any input in regard to these devices ? Would they work with PSX as IDU ?
https://winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=417
Eventually are there any better alternatives? (More or less for the same price..)
Many thanks.

Last post by asboyd - Sun, 7 Apr 2024 04:48Hi Guys,
I just want to say I was not having a shot at the cost of simulation panels, just the original aircraft panels.
As far as Sim panels go I was buying from Opencockpit until the cost of shipping went through the roof.
For example a circuit kit which cost 12 Euros to buy, cost 40+ Euros to ship to Australia. Most of the shipping rates went up rapidly when Covid hit and due to other world events have never come back down.
(I was even thinking of a trip to Europe with an empty suitcase to buy parts and bring them back with me
).
I have been a flight simmer since Microsoft released Flight Simulator for PC (old wireframe graphics) and even had a copy for my old Commodore 64.....
The reason I am building a cockpit is due to me being fascinated with electronics (38 years in ICT as well) and I love to build things...
I am sure there are many simmers that do not build cockpits and I have been one for many years.
I just like to challenge myself.
It is great to be part of a sim community where everyone is so helpful and supportive. I try to play my part and will help out were I can..
Cheers,
AlexB

just playing around with Little Navmap.
Are there PSX 747 performance files out there? I could not find any infos in the forum.
Thx, have a nice weekend

Last post by b744erf - Sat, 6 Apr 2024 05:49Hello my friends
I'm delighted to know that there are more new members joining the PSX family. This year marks my tenth year since I purchased my PSX. The joy and excitement I felt when I opened the package containing the PSX discs shipped from Europe in 2014 are still fresh in my memory. Over these ten years, I've transitioned from being a laptop player to a Sim builder, and now I've finally built my dream cockpit entirely using OEM parts. PSX has truly fulfilled my childhood dream.
All the components I currently use are OEM, primarily utilizing Simstack and SIOC drivers. Simstack is mainly employed for powering high-power components like backlighting for all panels. Meanwhile, SIOC drives the open cockpit's I/O board for almost all Input-Output functions, including automatic throttle and spoiler motor control. Some may wonder how SIOC can drive high-power incandescent lamps at 28V. In reality, I utilize the output signal of the Open Cockpit board to drive an external PLC driver board, thus achieving low-power output driving high-power output. Additionally, the PWM signal output from the Open Cockpit motor board can also drive high-power backlighting with an external MOS board. Therefore, SIOC is nearly universal. I must express my gratitude to PSXSeecon for connecting SIOC with PSX, enabling me to drive OEM components at low cost.
I hope more friends can join the PSX family, and I especially hope to see more 747 Simulator builders come together to realize their dreams.
Regards
Jack
