Hello Guys
I would like to put the display on my IRS for my Prosim / FSX ran aft overhead.
If you have any links or ideas let me know.
another option would be to put a new IRS panel that works, but everyone I talk to does not sell them....
Cheers....
Hi Lance, I'm going to buy this one! http://www.ruscool.co.nz/boeing_irs.html (http://www.ruscool.co.nz/boeing_irs.html)

If you have the IRU panel already built, adding the digital displays is a breeze. You can use pre-made (commercial) digit mount cards or you can wire them yourself. It is not hard at all. I hand wired all my displays and can help you immensely with how-to's, diagrams, etc.

That would be great Mike because I have my panel built with a working keypad already wired up. I would really like to solve this cheaper than US$327.00! Cheers Gwyn
Hi Gwyn,
If you already have the panel sorted, I have a 13 Digit LED display that I no longer need, it even has inverted digits to put the decimal places in the right area.
Also has the driver board, and runs off a Pokeys card, and uses 6 ports.
Works perfectly with Prosim.

Note also with the Ruscool unit, it only extracts the position and wind/headings via FSUIPC, and doesn't integrate with Prosim for alignment time display and the like.
I no longer need it because:

Sold Mick you legend, wrap it up and send me the bill!! It just so happens my new spare Pokeys U57 card arrived yesterday so the sim gods are smiling on me!! You champion. I'm still awaiting your printer panel dimensions btw. The printer is painted and ready to go.
Is there anything you can't do mate???
Cheers Gwyn
Mick do have the resource for the display segment for my IRS panel to link to prosim. or a link. I am trying to add to my panel. If you hear about another one for sale let me know. Cheers Lance
Hi Lance,
There are a few options:
OpenCockpits make an IRS panel
http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/irs-panel-idc-bki-p-452.html (http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/irs-panel-idc-bki-p-452.html)
Pim used small LCD displays in his panel, and there is some good info on it here
http://home.planet.nl/~pvrijald/flightsim/irs_panel.htm (http://home.planet.nl/~pvrijald/flightsim/irs_panel.htm)
If you are using Prosim, you can also use a Phidgets LCD module, or a Matrix Orbital LCD / VFD quite easily as they are natively supported.
The other option is to multiplex some LED 7 Segment displays and run them via Pokeys or Arduino.
Mick or anyone, I found the same IRS box as you are converting too. What is the process needed to connect to prosim & FSX?
