Bonjour Jack!

I saw this post on reddit today: https://old.reddit.com/r/thisweekinretro/comments/1opfkms/for_people_who_take_their_flight_simulation_a_bit/

It links to a news article about some jackass named "Peter Gottlieb" claiming credit for Matt's amazing 747 flight simulator.

A PDF showcasing his project is linked in the article, so it's also possible that the "journalist" that wrote the article assumed that the PDF was created by the site owner...

Please feel free to throw rocks at that "supercarblondie" site...

Hi Nat...
Agreed !   

Can't beat 4K projection IF done well..

My 2cents:
If you have enough room (ie: fairly long distance between windshield and projection screens) keep the projectors.
TV screens have to be much closer to cover winshield and windows of the 74 and you will loose sense of depth.
(Repeat IMHO)

Hi Jon

Seems to me You had an amazing 74 Sim back in the day ?
Still kicking ?
Cheers

Brings back memories. I used to use a TR182RG on trips from Denver to Montana on a regular basis.  It was back in the analog days but kept one sharp.  weather across Wyoming could be "interesting" and my IFR ticket got used on more than one occasion.

Hi all,
I'm a newcomer after a long absence.
I have a 747 sim (home built) with a 5-meter projection screen which is using 3 Optoma 1080P short-throw projectors.I would like to take advantage of 4K - but I'm torn between getting 4K projectors or just replacing with 3x100nch tv screens.
Advice welcome!

Thanks guys.

I'm thinking to get 2 x FlightSimBuilder G1000 hardware units for PFD and MFD.

I've searched around for third-party G1000 software addons for FS2024, but nothing stands out yet.

I've used AirManager before, and it's great, but their G1000s display the bezels too, which I don't need. And I'm not sure if they have native compatibility with hardware units like the FSBs?

I think the idea of manually adding the G1000 NXi instruments to the Blacksquare B350 panel would be the more straightforward solution. I could just stick them somewhere to pop them out. I haven't done panel mods since FS2004 though, so it could get messy!

There is software that came with my G1000 displays that could be used but I agree with Kyle that there are a bunch of third party apps that will work.  You can also directly program each button/switch generically or aircraft specific using MSFS directly or via a 3rd part.  I have typically used SPADnext for many years.

Finally, you can play with the programming per plane and manually make some changes to the panel and instruments using the instruments from a different plane.  It takes a bit of tweaking but it is doable.

Air Manager is another potential way.
