Falcon 50 Sim from Germany

[Piper28]

Hi , my Name is Guenter and I want to say hello to everybody.
My Sim is a Dassault Falcon 50 with Steam Gauges. Some of you maybe know my homecockpit from mycockpit.org.
I am building now for more than ten years and my Challenge is to use so many original Aircraft parts as possible.
I also fly real small piston airplanes at my Homebase EDFB , Reichelsheim , Germany.

Thanks for great Community and many Greetings from Germany

Welcome Guenter,

To reiterate what Jack has already said, that is one impressive cockpit. What visual system do you use?

Regards from Wales,

Joe.

Hello,
thanks for the friendly welcome. I am glad to see that so many other people are working worldwide on such great homebuild projects.

Here some technical information's about my Falcon 50 Sim:
Flightsoftware : FS2004
Panel: original Dassault Falcon50
The gauges are driven by servos via FSUIPC.
ADI  with Crossbar Needles for FD and ILS, HSI , VSI , SPEED IND., RADAR ALTIMETER , TRIM IND and the Engine instruments for N1 , ITT , N2 are still working. (more than 20 Servos). A little program for controlling the servos via FSUIPC and Pololu Boards was written by me in Visual Basic. The servos are modified for a bigger range (more than 360°). That is enough for the most applications. Works on  the Altimeter and a new HIS with Steppers are still in progress.
FSBUS is installed for the 7-Segments , Switches , Led's ...
The former NORATLAS Yoke for Flight control is working.
The Seats are from a Gulfstream Bizjet.
A Beamer is used for outside visuals.

There is a lot of work to do in the future. But it's a hobby and every new part for the Sim
is a new Challenge for me.

@Trevor : Your Falcon900 Information's are very useful for me and my project. Thanks a lot.

Many greetings

Guenter

Guenter,
  Wow looks awesome!  I have some great memories flying that airplane! Have over 2500 hrs in the 50. Best flying airplane i ever flew. Way better than a 737 handling wise.  What kind of systems software are you using or just writing your own? I remember that airplane inside and out. I think i took 16 135 chekrides in it including my ATP ride. Let me know if you have any questions on it. Im surenill remember a thing or two.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the kind offer. I began with the construction of the Falcon after me has a cockpit builders from France sold the original panel without the gauges. I'm using FS2004 with the great Falcon 50 by Yannick Lavigne. For special applications, I try to expand my own program accordingly. A Falcon 900 Manual by Trevor here from the forum will help me also.
If questions arise, however, I'm happy to supply to your back
Thanks and best regards

Hi Guenter,

What a beautiful panel, congratulations that just looks superb.  Nice to see a fistful of old-fashioned needles, I'd definitely like to see more of your build.

Cheers
