This is a list of the commonly used avionics and light panels supplied by the aircraft. For realistic simulation, avionics and lighting should be powered with the appropriate bus. ProSim avionics allows you to access the bus gates for switching under the Combined Config – Electric menu. Jeehell FMGS avionics allows bus gate switching in … Continue reading

Interfacing outputs with SimStack
The Main Instrument Panel (MIP) outputs have now been successfully interfaced with SimStack.The boards are adaptable, allowing for all outputs (korry incandescent bulbs and the panel integral backlighting) on the simulator to be driven by a single Stack. The Flight Control Unit (FCU) potentiometers have also been wired to the analog input and allow for … Continue reading
MCDU CRT Simulation
There was discrepancy with the black level on the MCDUs in comparison to the displays of the PFD, ND and ECAM. The MCDU (converted to bypass AIRINC429 and 115 VAC requirements) uses a clear thick glass to give the effects of the CRT. To match the black levels of all the aircraft displays, 20% dark … Continue reading

Simulator Solution, an Australian based company, offers replacement parts for the Airbus and Boeing line of CDUs. The SimStack software is compatible with ProSimA320, ProSim737 … Continue reading
Simulator Solution Simstack: Jeehell FMGS Support
Simulator Solution‘s SimStack can now interface with Jeehell FMGS using FMGS FSUIPC offset. Genuine aircraft components from Boeing and Airbus have different voltage and current requirements to drive their korry switches. SimStacks has a dizzying amount of options: SimStack Foundation Board Features Arduino Pro Mini compatible processor and Ethernet hardware 16 digital inputs 6 analogue … Continue reading
OEM B737 CDU Conversion (Simstacks)
Flaps2Approach has written about the genuine B737 CDU conversion process using Simstack. This is one way the Airbus MCDU could also potentially be converted; it does pose another challenge for Simulator Solutions as the screen size for an Airbus MCDU is slightly larger than a Boeing CDU. Our friend James in the UK is also … Continue reading
A visit to a local 747 sim builder
Its great to be in Sydney, we have capable builders, aviation enthusiasts and hardware specialists all within close proximity. The other day I got to catch up with Joe Corrigan and his 747 sim — all built up from genuine parts, including the exterior! Even more surprising, all of this in his garage!! The sim … Continue reading
