Built a shell around the Sim over the holiday weekend. Got some trim up on the ceiling and Overhead mounted solidly now as well as the aft overhead. Got all 3 altimeters now working and baro adj working. Starting to look like a real plane little by little. Keep an eye out for a pilots eye brow for me please.

YES!
Hey Rob,
Congratulations on your progress! It looks like a lot of hard work and dedication has gone into your Sim project.
If possible, please post how you are interfacing the instruments. Any video of how the interface is setup?

Hi Mike,
I'll try and get a video up tomorrow or saturday. I'll post a link in this post. I am using steppers to turn Synchro transmitters, PWM, steppers, a few servo's, and some black magic. lol

How did the test flight go?

Went great! All the altimeters stayed in sync and read identical at cruise. Tons of work to do to fine tune the overall feel. Sound system needs major work now.
the fun of building.
do you have sidewalls or screens on the sides? I dont think i have the space for a 180degree screen so i will concentrate on something like your, just the front and back, no sidewalls and then just one big tv-screen infront.
I have side walls, just not finished yet. More there for structure support than visual appeal.
