I pushed hard the last months. The Instructor Station is done, Sidewalls, Rudder Pedal Housing including the Crank are ready as well. A detailed report will follow later this year. The main focus is working on my sim.
At the moment I'm working on all the trim parts left and right of the Overhead Panel and the Window trim parts. These are the last parts and will finally finish my shell construction.
The Precision Simulator 1.x series, also known as 'PS1', is being developed in cooperation with 747-400 experts from all over the world. The latest version, 1.3, surpasses, by far, all previous updates. PS1's user base ranges from leading airlines, NASA research centers, universities, to pilots of all categories who use PS1 during their transition training to "glass" or, regularly.
Enjoy the pictures in the meantime ...

Here's a quick update before X-Mas. I'm working on the instructor station, the sidewalls, closing my shell and the visual as well. I got three LG beamer in the meantime as well. So, lot of different tasks to be managed and done in the next few weeks. More pictures will be available in Q1 2018. This time I'm going to show some pics and background info’s of my handcrafted Oxygen Mask Stowage Boxes and Masks!

Too long time ago since my last update. But I finished a lot of tasks in the meantime: all Overhead Panels have been cleaned, all blank and dummy cover panels for the AFT Overhead and the Pedestal have been manufactured as well. Last but not least, the motor for A/T has been installed as well. Now I had some time to put new pictures online.
Additionally, I found a very interesting document about panel building and their measurements. Thankfully the author, Hessel Oosten, granted the rights to put this doc on my Downloads page. Enjoy!

Wow, what a long time since my last update! I have a long business trip and holidays behind me and finally managed to update my website. But - I sincerely hope - it was worth the waiting. Please find the new report Building my DSTD - Part 3 here. I started redesigning my reports. So you will recognize a new responsive layout as well as a new gallery with better full screen and mobile device support. Simply try the new look and feel. I hope you like it!
Another new link to a company I purchased some great RMI Knobs from, is available on my Links page.

Just to let you know that I'm working hard in the background. Soldering lot of wires, buttons and switches, as well as learning how to use SimStack are the main tasks at the moment. My schedule is to complete the MIP in the next two weeks. Once finished, I will put lot of new pictures on line. In the meantime enjoy a great B 747-400 farewell video!

A bit later than expected, but finally 37 new pictures and lot of background information are online! I spent lot of time and effort to pimp the panels and increase the realism. On the Videos tab you can find an amazing video how a B 747-400 cockpit is cut off from the fuselage. Have fun!
