After years of flying on a single flightsim PC, the
arrival on the market of the Project Magenta Glass Cockpit
Displays add-on programs, changed my idea about flightsimming
completely. I started with the complete suite of programs
(Glass cockpit, MCP and CDU), putting them initially on 2
separate pc's. This was the start of a long progress, which
finally should result in the simulation of a B744 flightdeck
with the highest realism as possible.
Building such a flightdeck is a very hard and complex
decision, which, in my personal opinion, can't be done alone.
Without the help of my friends Roger Dutreeuw and Willy
Vosselman, (respectively doing the actual deck construction and
the electricity works) I never would have started.
We
also are working very close together with the people from
Bruges air College, who were able to set up the only "full
motion" Boeing 738 NG simproject in Belgium. My B744 flightyokes
has been modeled by them after I gave them the real life
dimensions.
Furthermore companies as
Project Magenta,
Flightdecksolutions
and Aerosoft Australia has
given a lot of support for the soft- and hardware. It is great
to work with so many nice people from all over the world.
The goal of this website is to give flightsimmers an idea how
things has started and what the present status of my B744
project is now.
Feel free to ask questions or suggestions. Thanks for coming by
