Wondering if there are some tutorials for the 767 FMC?

[Lezam]

Hey Everyone,

Im sure there are some nice tutorials for building a boeing FMC, I tried searching but cant find one. Was wondering if someone could show me the way. These prebuilt ones cost a ton, and leave out the fun! Thanks guys

Hi there,

checkout the site of www.opencockpits.com
there are some builders there building 737 panels and they sell at very good prices.
this is a spanish community who build, share and sell almost at cost.

you can also try
www.hispapanels.com (http://www.hispapanels.com)
They have some reasoble priced panels, as for a tutorial on how too build your own im not too sure.

Some may disagree but my opinion is Sometimes depending on your time, patience and technical ability it is better to bite the bullet and buy somthing made or partially complete, it will save you alot of frustration and headaches especially for a component like the FMC.

Depending on your budget take a look at these sites if you havent already.

Here is a site you should check that may help you get started however if you are going to build your own.

There are some images of the panel and circuit board for lighting.

Awesome links guys! These links really help! I have another follow up question as well. How would you reccomend I interface these into FS? I want to fly both the Level D as well as the PSS 757. Would my only option be to use project magenta? And does anyone know approx how much it costs?
