737 procedure trainer

[christoph87]

Hello,

my name is Christoph from Germany. I will have finished a part of my flight training end of this year and will have some time during christmas and new year. Therefore I want to build myself a procedure trainer for the 737 NG. I want to say a big thank you for the very supportive homepage which provides not only good construction plans but also great feedback.

The whole setup will consist of the middle-console, the overhead and the front panel. Autopilot will not be functional (manual flight ^^).

As an input source i already modified an USB- Keyboard, the switches are working already. The electric circuit consists of the 2 chips on the controller board of the keyboard, the switch and one condensor. So to say if you use the switch it´s for the computer just like you shortly push the keyboard-button.

Landscape will be displayed on my already finished homemade videoprojector. (800 x 600 but fair enough)

I´ll use FS9. (I´m not quite happy with that, because there´s no turning error on the ADF which is quite essential in my opinion)

Greets
Christoph
