View Full Version : Can I have one of these please! chris 01-27-2006, 05:58 AM http://www.a340project.us/gallery9.htm :yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes: That is totally insane, and totally cool! :eek: Take a look at a real A340 Airbus, then look at that! :eek: The realism is amazing. :cool: AccadaccA 01-27-2006, 04:59 PM Man, that's really impressive and well documented too. http://www.a340project.us/gallery/Fgallery9-6.jpg So when do we start on yours Chris? I often see plane junkyards on American shows and wonder about making a simulator out of a real nose cone. The MythBusters frequent a plane junkyard several times in their series and of course there was the movie Conair and others. Damn those yanks are soooooo bloody wasteful!! It would be good if you could get a fibreglass moulding of the nose then add the real instrument panels and place monitors in place of the windscreens (and side windows if applicable). Everything supported by an alluminium frame on small ballbearing wheels (i.e. skateboard wheels). We had a good thread on home made flight simulators here years ago. chris 01-28-2006, 03:16 AM Oh, I'd love to attempt one, but I really don't have the expertise to do anything like that. I fear it'd cost a lot and it probably wouldn't ever get completed, let alone look anything like reality. :) VulcanB2 01-29-2006, 08:45 AM Hi, Either these guys just know the right people, or they have a few thousand $$$ going spare!! That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D I'd like to get my hands on a RW 747-200 fixed-base sim, but I think the neighbors would object. ^_^ Best regards, Robin. Frank N. O. 01-29-2006, 08:53 AM :eek: wow, that's fantastic, are they even using real Airbus parts as well? I wonder if anyone has made a Concorde sim, yet. I think a Cardinal or Commander-sim would probably be more in my range, but still, fantastic fun, and you do get something to show for it and something that can be used :) Frank chris 01-29-2006, 11:09 AM :eek: wow, that's fantastic, are they even using real Airbus parts as well?

I don't know about the progress of it since it was a long time ago. Not sure I'd be much help with anything like that, most of the info I have on Concorde is of a more technical nature (service procedures, flight-procedures etc). |
