Mark-1 General Purpose Simulator Cockpit
This site contains both a brief history as well as some technical tips
that may be useful to others building aircraft simulator cockpits. My
cockpit is not specific to one simulator or aircraft, working with FS2004,
Falcon 4, and Lockon Modern Air Combat. It has already has had its
first major overhaul, tidying up the cable plant and bringing the electronics
into two areas of the pit. As part of the overhaul the code has been
modified to support Lomac, which now supports data exporting via LUA.
Components of the pit.
Physical
The frame is made up of welded Light-weight aluminum square tubing, and
an adjustable car seat.
Systems and Software
As no one product yet meets everything I want to do the cockpit is made
up of:
1. Simkits gauges.
2. Phidgets I/O controllers, Led
driver, TextLCD, and 4 Port Servo driver.
3. X-keys USB keyboard emulator
4. Goflight radio and switch
stacks
5. F4
Glass for Falcon 4 (and now Lomac instruments)
6. Freefd for FS2004 Glass instruments
7. FSUIPC Peter Dowsons
interface for add-ons to Flight Simulator
