In this category you will find posts regaring my A320 Home Cockpit
Hi Guys! Today I’m writing about a major change in my home cockpit project! This will change everything! Luckily, I had the chance to acquire an OEM Pedestal of an Airbus A321 including Throttle in very good condition! To make it short: I never would have thought that the expercience Read more…
Hey Guys! Today I’m going to modify a common personal pc’s power supply to provide 5V and 12V voltage for my simulator! Why does that make sense? Let me show you why: Did you ever count the number of power supplies you are using in your simulator? Nearly every component Read more…
