Just received the new computer solely for flight simulation today with some revisions to the spec listed in my last post originally. The full spec now is:
I’ve been talking about rebuilding my home cockpit and a computer dedicated to flight simulation…er… for quite a long time. I really get moving now.
Followings are some of the gears I already purchased for the new cockpit. And in
general, it will be somewhat resemblance to what the guy ON THE GLIDESLOPE (OTG) does — a 3-monitor setup, one in the front and two on both sides.
But I am planning to use Continue reading
I am a music lover since my very young age and had become an audiophile when I could afford to get some decent high-fidelity (hifi) equipment about 20 years ago. This hasn’t changed much even after flightsimming has gained the number one position on top of my limited pastimes.
Do we audiophiles live for music or gear? It’s a classic question and my answer is a definite both.
Whether you’re an audiophile and whether you agree with me or not, here’s a great BBC archive film produced in 1959 on this subject a friend sent to me a few days ago. Continue reading
Followings are the Cessna cockpit by Cor Radmaker in The Netherlands, who designed the panel himself. The panel is made of metal, with flexible plywood and foam and imitation leather put together as the glare shield.
Edit: Cor has submitted additional pictures for the building of his panel, plus drawing files to share with those who are interested.

A few days ago I received an email from Michael Basler who told me that he was scratching his head about the placement of the Generic PFD because, “You know, I have that X-Top panel with the sixpack where it belongs plus three additional FIPS at the right hand side…I just can’t map this onto my fixed X-Top panel.”
Just in case there are others who have similar bewilderment, here’s my suggestion to him that Continue reading
The Dual-Cue version of the generic PFD is ready and is being sent to all 
who purchased the Single-Cue Version for free.
The free offer is valid until the end of Easter on 18th, the next Tuesday.
Then it will be sold separately or in bundle with the Single-Cue version. Continue reading
Followings are updated cockpit photos from Mario Cote in Canada Newfoundland after getting a new PCs and multiple screens.

Received a post comment from Ed Gilbert (aka Raceguy) about his P-51D cockpit that he has been working on for the last two years. He said that the project is about to complete sometime this week. I can’t help to say “wow!”
The photos are originally posted on the A2A Forum. I have sought his permission to re-post the photos here.
Frankly, whenever I look at the cockpit pictures from FSX Times friends who shared with us here, I always feel the excitement and am deeply touched by the time, the effort, and the sweat (probably blood as well) they put onto our common passions in flight simulation. Thank you Raceguy. Thank you all.
