Frame overheads – Which method

The support frame to the overhead to confirm is ready. There remains for me only to paint.

The construction of this metal frame was a work of long breath. To this construction there was lots of measuring and adaptation work. It looks simple but it is not to be underestimated ...

There must be taken into consideration with various factors such as height, MIP, the correct angle of inclination for the both OVH's, the correct heights and distances. Also, I hereby have to take into account the B737-windows afterwards on the right place and height to mount this metal frame.

Throughout the history of the construction of this construction is to follow on the following page : http://www.flightdeck737.be/hardware/fwd-aft-overhead/overheadconstructie/

Custom Glareshield MIP

I have my glareshield of the Desktop MIP is replaced by the glareshield of a ProLine MIP.

I want the B737-windows from FlyEngravity use and that does not fit the Desktop MIP (glareshield, and a portion of the MIP-frame in the way). These windows are made to use with a ProLine MIP with a ProLine Glareshield.

To this new glareshield to be working I have on the front (sharp) edge of a rubber strip made and on top of a replica of a B737 Folder-Pocket.

Useful toetsenbordje

This wireless toetsenbordje that I use is of Trust and is equipped with a ‘docking station’ in which the toetsenbordje is placed for charging. I got this keyboard a few years ago charged and still not have to reload.

This toetsenbordje is relatively small and flat. So handy to have somewhere to put in a checklisthouder or the way to lay on a small place.
Dimensions are : Length 305 mm, width 120 mm, thickness from 6 mm to 8 mm.

It is also equipped with a built-in ‘mousepad’, in which the use of a mouse is not necessary. The baart or any exercise with a finger, this gem to operate. But practice makes perfect...

Energy-Check 3000

Any idea how much power in Watts by the power sockets being hunted when a cockpit in full action ?

Are the electrical outlets not overloaded ?

What is the price of electricity for a few hours cockpitgenot ?

The Energy-Check 3000 gives answers to. This energiekostenmeter gives a simple way to consumption and energy costs of your cockpit.

This device is developed for monitoring and measuring electrical loads. By entering a rate (rate 1 or 2), the energy of the measured load(s) calculated and shown on the display.

Input Director

Despite the fact that a cockpit can be controlled with buttons and switches is still controlled by computers and software. And with computers now once mice and keyboards. A simcockpit without mice and keyboards is utopian and not realistic.

The trick is that mice and keyboards reduce to a minimum.

With the software tool ‘Input Director’, it is possible to restrict the use of one mouse and one keyboard.

This free program works on the master/slave principle, is easy to configure and has no delay. It is to be download on following link : http://www.inputdirector.com/

I use this program with 3 pc's and 7 monitors and it works flawlessly for the full setup.

Highly recommended.
