FSX_SE Installed

I have migrated to Steam and the day of testing has gone well. All scenery has been moved over tested and working. I am getting very fluid motion and excellent frame rates with no problems with stutters or memory leaks. Very happy camper.

My 767 models and bits n bobs to go over next week.

Looking good.....

MCP population continues...

Back at it!

After a busy 18 months I have found the time to get some work done. The MCP had to be modified to take the 7 seg displays, the open cockpits Korrys and all the various encoders and switches. That was many hours of filing and drilling.

MCP HDG SEL

I think this is the right encoder with a six way rotary with encoder and push button for the HDG SEL on the 767 MCP. As you can see I have the bank select part of the knob but I am stuck for the rest. The bank sel also looks like it is missing a core to grab the shaft. Any ideas??

Prepar3D

Installed a new SSD (G drive) for prepar3D tests.

More overhead panels

CDU and captains displays

A bit of a jigsaw puzzle this one. Anyone ever D Check a 767 flightdeck?

The hardware for the MCP has arrived. Seven segs, encoders and switches and al the cards to populate it. Photos to follow.

UPDATE May 2013

After another period of parts sourcing and collection I am ready to get back building. Next up is the full implementation of the MCP and Nav Radios. Seven segs encoders and all the cards have been ordered and a new Digital soldering station has been installed. Pics to follow soon.

The real parts in my build came from a retired B762, link here to her history: Two milestones stand out. She was the 100th 767 built and flew the last B767 three man crew.
