![]() Originally when I dismantled the Logitech speaker system I left the transformer inside as I caught a glimpse that the output voltage was 12 volts of which I thought ‘great – I’ll connect the amplifier PCB up to my external ATX power suppliers which will be providing power to other parts of the cockpit’ of which I did do in the first place (photo on the left shows the original setup making use of the 12 volt DC power from my ATX power supply) Original set-up, mounted underneath the seat the Tactile transducers are powered from the amp PCB that I salvaged from the old Logitech 2.1 sound system and 12v ATX power supply.

Meaning that now the only thing my main FSX PC (FS-MASTER) does is run FSX, run the four displays (external view, PFD/ND, ECAM and standby instruments) and will have the side-stick, pedels and throttle levers leaving the other tasks (Weather Engine (ActiveSky 2012), ATC (FSInn), Flight deck sounds (pmSounds), Running the USBOutput cards (SIOC) and have all the BBI-32 cards to run the MIP panel switches and the OHP switches and rotaty encoders). Now that the Auto-brake panel and Loudspeaker panel I also tested connecting the BBI-32 card to the remote PC and to my surprise I am extremely pleased to report that you can have BBI-32 and BU0836X cards connected to a remote PC using WideFS and it still registers button presses etc on the main FSX PC… which is awesome meaning that I will now connect both you input cards and output cards to the second PC all communication with the main FSX PC is then done over WideFS. I’ve now properly configured my second PC for off-loading some of the tasks of the main FSX PC (FS-MASTER) onto a new PC (FS-CTRL1) which now runs WideFS, ActiveSky, pmSounds SIOC (all USBOutput cards are connected to this PC). The two PC setup running the flight simulator and flight deck. Its been a while but I’ve been busy… hopefully new stuff coming soon!

Hopefully I’ll have some more updates for you soon and photographs too □ We’re now back in business with a new ‘dedicated’ space for the simulator and my electronics stuff! □ ![]() After a moment of madness last weekend, I decided to pop most of my flight simulator parts on eBay due to a number of reasons, the big and main reason being space… having two young daughters the only room I have ‘spare’ in the house is my office which has mean’t that I either have a nice desk setup and comfortable working area or having my full flight simulator setup.Īfter ‘umm-ing’ and ‘arrrhh-ing’ over the weekend about selling all my stuff I then thought… Why not convert the loft space!!! – so I quickly took off the auctions and this is now what I’m working towards, it’ll take a month or so and need to get my old back-boiler replaced with a new Combi-boiler so that I can gain the extra space in the loft so that I have enough room to build and host the full simulator □
