So apparently 2019 more or less passed with out any updates on the page. Sorry about that. And to be honest not much has been happening in the cockpit.

I got a few emails from people asking for updates. And I owe you a bit thank you! It really means a lot!!! It does! With out your messages and encouragement I might not have taken the time needed to sit down and write these entries.

It seems that I am followed by the same curse as always: When ever I make something or fix something – something else – totally random – will malfunction. This never fails!

But of course some things has been happening. Let me list them here and I also mention them in the video. Then I will do some separate blog entries / videos on it.

So over the last year I have been:

• In the beginning of the year I made the side windows. They are in place, but I am not done with them. I still need to do a few things.
• Spring was about eliminating errors. I had a friend coming by that is a retired pilot and I really wanted the cockpit to shine. So I spend a lot of time making the cockpit “flyable”. I more or less succeeded. 🙂
• I also got my hands on two 23″ wide aspect monitors. they are used for Captians side anf First Officers side and can cover both ND, PFD and the clock.
• In the summer I bought additional interface cards: An additional OpenCockpits MasterCard for the Overhead. That required at total reconfiguration of the Overhead. Not the funniest of tasks. So the air kind of went out of the balloon.
• In the autumn I bought two OpenCockpits CDUs. They were used but in mint condition.
• In October I started rewiring my MIP. Everything was great until I blew a fuse in the house. That set be back three weeks before I even dared to turn the power back on.
• For the pedestal I also bought an OpenCockpits ExpansionCard and a second MasterCard in the summer. I had them laying around until Christmas where I finally took the pedestal out for a service check and installed the new interface cards and one of my OEM panels (The Audio Control Panel).
• Along all this I have been 3d-printing like crazy! It is such a great addition to the cockpit.
