parts wanted

Postby Towerguy » Sat Jan 07, 2012 4:19 pm

Hi all
working on the instruments still, have been trying various methods of printing out the faceplates ie from scans, photos, bmps from the sim etc but not really totally happy with the results.
wondered if there was anyone out there who had spare faceplates laying around unused after making up one of the Simkit units? Their website says they supply 74 different faces with each unit so I thought there might be some unused ones available - they don't sell them seperately - I tried. :(

just a thought anyway
cheers

could swap for a bundle of NZ charts or some Jepp approach plates if anyone interested...

Sounds like they are "missing the boat" by not selling the faceplates separately.

Never used them so no luck here.  Sorry.

best,

I did mine like Juan. Take these panels and print them to the appropriate size.
Put your cursor over the panel that you need and save and print.

The first copy is for the capt and the second copy is for the co.pilot
I make 4 copies of each. 2 of them printed in black and 2 printed in boeing grey. Take the black copy and aline it behind the grey copy and glueing them together.
