Primary software used in my simulator is Microsoft's Flight Simulator '98.
The following links will allow you to download some of the modules that I've created or made use of. If you have any concerns you can ask me a question (email me at alex (at) flyinglow.ca). If I can, I will respond - no promises though. If the question / answer is deemed useful enough I will CC: the simpits mailing list.
Custom software developed by yours truly.
usuall warnings / disclaimers apply.
- Servo Driver. Requires WideFS installed, configured and running. Added March 12, 2002. Controls servo motors that drive the gauges. Uses Scott Edwards Mini-Servo Controller.
- My software to control my gauges. Updated March 28, 2001! Hopefully it will be tested tonight ;-). I have attempted to unify my COMM and parallel port routines into the main module that is reading the interesting information from MSFS98.
- COMM port helper files. Updated - March 29, 2001 A .c and .h file to make talking to a SSC very easy. This works on NT4.0, Win9x.
- Custom code for driving stepper motors - modify as needed. Sends output to Parallel port - also reads 4 inputs from same.
3rd party software I've used along the way.
- Schiratti - an excellent place to get useful SDKs and utilities for expanding the functionality of MSFS. Make sure to check out the WideView module if you are at all interested in multiple displays.
- Toe Brakes - a great little gauge for adding variable, differential toe brakes to your bird. Note this is a gauge and must be on an active (displayed) panel to function.
- TurboCAD has a FREE 2D CAD program that you can download. This is what I've used for all my CAD drawings.
