I spent much time researching about the cockpit software, and I concentrated mainly in Project Magenta, since it was the only available glass cockpit software package available for the Airbus.I did not think this post would get so much feedback. I had for quite some years before a great passion for Comercial Aviation, and have been a user of Microsoft's Flight Simulator for many years (first version I used was 5.0 if I remember well !).Īfter having flown pretty detailed and feature rich aircraft add-ons on FS2002 for some time (Airbus A32X PSS package, mainly), I decided to take it to the next level. I purchased all but the First Officer's Glass Cockpit, the Remote MCDU and the Instructor Station. I decided to purchase PM's Airbus Suite, before the price rise expected for January 2007. The screen is a Sony PSOne LCD, which can be easily attached following a very detailed manual you can find at FDS. It all started with Flightdeck Solution's MCDU. The next panel I purchased was Cockpitsonic's Radio Management Panel. You can read more about it here: Instructor Station. For this purpose, I purchased Leo Bodnar's card for Joystick and button interfacing.Īt this point, the simulator had to be disassembled and put into storage, due to our family moving to Houston, Texas.Īt this point I concentrated on the Instructor Station for my cockpit, and this was when the Instructor Station was born. Since there is no real use for this panel in flight simulator, I developed a Visual Basic Code to trigger cabin announcements, background music and other ambient sounds from the cockpit. Project for the Audio Control Panel was developed.
The simulator was shipped from its storage in Madrid, to our house in Houston (USA).Ĭaptain side side stick, tiller and supports were purchased.ĭuring this year development concentrated almost exclusively on the Instructor Station, as the simulator was still in storage in Madrid. Effort continues on the Instructor Station.
