Firstly I have to say how amazingly easy it is working on a real aircraft rather than having to make up holes and cable runs... its already there!
Today I rigged up the Map Lights, Overhead Dome Lights and Glaresheild lights and associated lighting dimmers and switches... just need to do the side wall lights and work out a plan for the mini lights all over the main panel. oh and also i need to move the simkits dimmer controller to the overhead.
For the wiring im using CAT5 cable which is strong enough to be moved about and easy enough to wire up.
I also wired up the throttles and HPC levers to a USB joystick (7.99 bargain!) again just coming off the real microswitches and using the pots that Dean put in.
I then stuck a microswitch in for the gear lever which comes up behind the jumpseat... again pretty straight forward.
Nigel spent a lot of time sorting out the FSX machine and planning the visuals..
Nigel has some pictures we need to upload later.
Thats all for now.
