Looking over the FG-747 project page this weekend... Most of the photos are dated and need updating. Hopefully I'll find some time this month to do that and update the text as well. One new area is completion of the throttle quadrant. Not a bad piece of work, if I must say. A big accomplishment was converting an older ISA based A/D board to a USB interface and single 8-channel A/D chip. (see pic) Every time we went to a show I lived with dread that the older PC with the ISA slots would die and finding a replacement motherboard would be nye on impossible. Still need a PCI parallel port capability to handle interrupts so until PCI and USB are overtaken interfacing to hardware should be less of a problem. Curt posted some new pics of the throttles, take a peek....
Now the transition of Fg to OSG dovetails nicely with my 2007 plans to move everthing inside a cockpit shell and build a fully collimated wrap-around FOV and overhead panels. Thanks to Curt for taking the time and effort to post the new pics. Regards John W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
