Title: Cockpit Fire/Smoke Detectors for home sims
Post by: navymustang on December 07, 2016, 10:34:01 AM
Sometimes safety issues come up regarding wiring and such. So I though I would post this for consideration. I wanted to have a smoke and fire detector that was dedicated to the sim at home. Mine is in the garage, so there were no detectors that were built into the house. Home Depot has this little gem on sale right now and it looks great in the cockpit.

hmmm  This is interesting..  Seems the upgrade killed it.

It was a little wee smoke detector from home depot, looked like a little Microphone almost and it was white.


James, can you reattach it please?

Actually, any smoke detector will do a good job.
I installed this one (smaller than it looks on the pic) on the door ceiling

we have a couple of smoke detectors in ours but i thought it was something new and exciting for the cockpit. Always looking for new toys to buy for the sims.
