Title: New Glass Sim
Post by: CeeGee on February 21, 2014, 03:18:35 AM
I apologise for the long silence. We have finished the Comet 4 and all 5 aircrew stations work [P1, P2, Nav, Engr and wireless operator]. It is an outstanding piece of work by Mike and a full HD video will be released shortly showing all the Analogue gauges that were home made. It is the only Comet 4 Simpit in the world and was filmed for the Channel 4 "Comet Disaster" documentary last year.

The new project is a single seat fighter with a glass cockpit - strewth, this is new territory for us. This is a nose section rebuild again, and it is a British Navy Sea Harrier. I am trying to find 2 items:
1. A 7 inch GPS for FSX [no bigger than 7.5 inches wide].
2. A glass MIP for a single jet engine fighter [single engine is not that important for a glass MIP], again no bigger than 7.5 inches wide.

We do have a head-up display so we are considering a switchable MIP/EFIS which I have seen on the web, but I cannot find it again. Your help as always would be appreciated.
Charlie.
