Interested in learning more about GoFlight?

[Skittles]

I have a decent GoFlight config.  Some people on other forums asked for practical info on GoFlight modules. http://www.anadrac.com/Flight/Index.htm


One guy even wanted to see my Pilots Handbook so I posted that info here http://www.anadrac.com/Flight/Handbook.htm

Skittles,

WOW!!!  "Decent" is not the word I'd use for it.  Pretty darn impressive collection of GoFlight modules you have there.  

Take all that stuff you already have........and build a cockpit frame structure like I have constructed (see Homebuild Cockpits Forum).... and maybe add one other computer driving two monitors running the FreeFD glass cockpit software.... and you'd have a really functional simpit.

I would be interested in hearing of any "glitches" you have found with the Goflight setup being that complex.  I have a number of modules that I will be using with my simpit... and I want to add a few more.  So I am looking out for any "issues"  ;).

You certainly have a "raft" of the 166 radio units.  How do you have them configured?

Have you tried the rotary / pushbutton unit?  Some people are reporting problems....... have you had any?

Anyway......... thanks for sharing the website of yours.

best,

..................john

I now have 22 modules, daisy-chained into four, externally powered, Belkin 8 port hubs. I have not had any problems,  conflicts or glitches. I've been lucky. I even have my TrackIR 2 plugged into the hubs even though the manuf. says not to.

My 166 config has changed this last weekend. I shifted them to the Full rack. Listing here from top to bottom...

GF166 = Transponder
RP-48 = Buttons assigned to the various Idents of the comms
            Rotaries assigned to other various functions
GF166 = Com1 with lower buttons assigned to Com1/Com2 and Com1/Nav1
GF166 = Com2 with lower buttons assigned to Com1/Com2 and Com2/Nav2
GF166 = Nav1 with lower buttons assigned to Nav1/Nav2 and Com1/Nav1
GF166 = Nav2 with lower buttons assigned to Nav1/Nav2 and Com2/Nav2
GF166 = ADF

I have three RP-48's. No problems now, I did have to replace one a while ago.

Thank you for your interest...

Joe
