747 flightdeck simulator build

Amazing! Can't wait to see how this progresses. :)

Can you run Aerowinx with just a three monitor single computer setup with a yoke?

Are you just building this for fun as a simulator fan or going to use it for training purposes?
 
lude1962 that is correct :) I chose Xplane as that is very smooth with very high graphics settings and UHD mesh (from 20-50 fps) compared to FSX and P3D.

PSX is an aamzing piece of software, it's worth a few £1000s!

Cosimo, you can run PSX across multiple monitors or you can use 4 instances of PSx on the same beefy PC. it's very flexible.

It's focused on raising money for charity. When it's fully built, people can donate to be able to fly in it.

The 1st avioncis PC has been bought, this will be PSX Client A :D

Oh yes, very good. Very very good. I'd love to have some time in this once it's completed. Subscribed to thread and I'm about to go and hit the like button on Facebook.
 
Very impressive stuff, def going to keep an eye on it!

Out of curiosity, why did you choose the 747? mainly due to being iconic I presume but from a sim point I'd have thought Airbus would provide a more modern experience plus you would have been able to use it for more then one type of aircraft (for example the A330 and A340 have nearly identical cockpits other then the number of thrust levers and fuels pumps!) Perhaps for the next project! :p

I wonder if I can pre-empt the answer to that with a single word:

PSX

Not heard of it....I'll go google....


I see! Shame PSX only does one aircraft, is it that much better then other sim software?
 
Just watched the video after seeing the link on the Aerowinx forums. Looks like it's coming along nicely (Although the CDU L brightness was too high for me :p).
 
A quick new video. I fitted a new 1080p projector and EICAS systems. There are now 2 NUCs running, one for the Captain's side and one for the center. There is a great review of PSX here (http://mutleyshangar.com/reviews/bc/psx/psx.htm).

Also bought a PC for visuals, specs are:
Corsair 350D
Asus ROG Maximus VIII Gene
Intel 6700K @ 4.6GHz
Corsair Hydro H80i GT
32GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black, 2666MHz
Asus 980Ti Strix 6GB OC
1000W Corsair RM
Corsair Braided Power Supply Cables Metallic Graphite
2x 256GB Samsung 850 PRO
Samsung SH-224FB DVD
