After many years of flight simming, I'm currently building a flight simulator using the cockpit from a 1975 Piper PA-28-151 interfaced to X-Plane 11 using AirManager.
For more information, see the Piper PA-28 project website
Current view of the inside of the cockpit:
Fully functional:
- Garmin G1000 PFD, audio panel, and MFD
- OEM switch panel
- Throttle and mixture controls
In progress:
- Parking brake
Current view of outside of the cockpit:
The 12ft diameter 180 degree curved screen uses two Optoma GT1080 short-throw projectors warped using Immersive Display PRO from Fly Elise-ng. The screen surface is painted a light grey.
The screens and projectors are functional, but need refinement and additional calibration. This is my current project
