Here is an other Falcon BMS simmer, but frankly my heart owned by the Eagle since Microprose F-15 SE II and III. Thanks for your work and sharing info with the BMS team! ❤
Loved the video! It's nice to see video content on a project like this. I've been part of the instrument panel/cockpit collector hobby for a few years now and it's great to see someone making content about collecting the real parts and adapting them for sim use. Definitely looking forward to seeing more updates. Keep up the good work!
Nice update, Gene. Looking forward to seeing that TEWS display come to life - don't forget the wire up the yellow triangular lights around the outside.
This is super cool! Especially seeing the true size of what's hiding behind the VSD/MPCD/TEWS. I cant really tell from the fov of the camera, but are these the regular 57 or bigger 86 vpforce motors?
I wonder if you could try and build a huge vacumm former and try and pull clear petg over the heavy canopy to have a lightweight alternative. (Definitely no longer rated for bird strikes!)
I've looked into building something large enough to replace the blown out acrylic in the canopy and it would be incredibly expensive - especially for a tool I'd only use once or twice. Making the forming buck would also be a pretty heavy undertaking.
