Title: Fwd. Ovhd. Electrical display panel
Post by: Caflyt on January 30, 2017, 05:33:21 PM
Can I get some suggestions for the electrical panel on the overhead?
What do you guys recommend for this with Prosim?
I have the OC panel but no longer have the master card to run the displays card with SIOC, don't really want to use SIOC anyway.
Is there a turn-key solution for this display (and the flt and cruise alt for that matter)?

Suggestions and testimonials please.

Craig

Hi Craig,

Here are :2cw:

I am using Prosim and Pokeys cards and parts from http://www.flightsimparts.eu/ (http://www.flightsimparts.eu/)

I built mine myself:

You can use my 7-segment MicroDrivers for both elec panel and FLT ALT and LAND ALT in combination with Pokeys. They are very easy to use and easy to configure with ProSim

see here http://www.flightsimparts.eu/sim_microdriver.htm (http://www.flightsimparts.eu/sim_microdriver.htm)

Any issues shipping to the US and a guess at how long it would take to get here? And will this work with Project Magenta?

Interesting post on Prosim Forum:

http://prosim-ar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11279 (http://prosim-ar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11279)

Seems we will have the option to display these panels on a small vga monitor placed behind the panel as Prosim may have a display for it soon complete with the "fault" indications.

Promising.....,.

Hello Bob,

Shipping to the US is not a problem but it will take 14 days.
