Where did you find the lables for the throttle quadrent and or all the flight deck or how did you reproduce them. Looking on how to make them for a real B-17G cockpit the search is crazy to find a good picture and size of font let alone what the lables say Sorry for the late reply. I reconfigured m...

Definitely not changing the name Accu-Sim, was just wanting something added to signify it's new. This thread helped me see that just good ‘old “Accu-Sim II” is probably the ticket. It says exactly what it is. I’ll sleep on this. Accu-Sim II. It does have a good look/ring to it. Straight up, means b...

This is what I've gleaned from reading and research: Oil Temperature Desired: 70C Maximum: 88C Minimum: 60C Cylinder-Head Temperature Desired: 170C Maximum: 232C Minimum: 125C With regards to the oil temperature, I've yet to see any practical way of controlling that. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fal...

Have you tried checking the box "Map to 4 Props" in the calibration page of FSUIPC? Hey Bill, Thanks for the suggestion! You're right: that does sounds counterintuitive. :? I haven't tried it yet, as I've got them working nicely using lua scripts and offsets. Same goes for the mixture set...

Hi Al, Have you tried checking the box "Map to 4 Props" in the calibration page of FSUIPC? With this function they still work as separate levers and not as one lever controlling all 4. This is counter intuitive to the way you would think to do it, but that's the way i got mine to work. Mix...

Hello everyone! I'm looking for US WW2 Airfield scenery, mainly looking to do a B-17G flight around the world starting from Hawaii and heading north across the north pole then going to head down south around the south pole and back to hawaii. any tips or help on equipment and programs needed would ...

Hi Bill Great update! I don't have as many hours in my P-51 pit but can agree that maintenance is required from time to time. Take care Ed Thanks Ed! I have never been to the P-51 forum, so I was unaware of your pit. I went over and had a read, and I was absolutely amazed! The quality of your work ...

Nice, thanks for updating us Bill. Its nice to see it in use and the maintenance and ongoing service to the bits and bobs. Interesting to see the designs evolve through real world use :mrgreen: 8) thanks, Lewis - A2A Thanks Lewis! I have flown for over 5000 hrs in this cockpit now, and there is def...

I have had an issue with my elevator trim wheel for quite a long time now where the gears go out of alignment and it needs to be constantly readjusted. This was a major irritation as it was not a simple process. The actual gear realignment was easy, but in order to access them, I had to unbolt my yo...

Your welcome!

Amazing work you have there! I have a question; Where do you get the Instrument panel for the B-17? What program? Thanks, -Sam Hi Sam, Sorry for taking so long to answer. I just saw this today as I only check here once in a while. I used the 2D gauges from the WOP II B-17 and used Flight Sim Panel ...

I have a very basic implementation of this concept in my B-17 cockpit. I placed a fan above each of the side sliding plexiglass windows. I rewired the fans to run at 7 volts so they would run slower and completely silent. Nothing ruins the immersion more than hearing a whiny fan when you open the wi...

I have a physical B-17 cockpit, and I use a 2D gauge panel in a window over top of the Virtual cockpit. This really increases the workload and tanks frame rates. I have placed a gauge panel in the blank 2D cockpit and it really works well with extremely high frame rates, but I loose most of the soun...
