Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Hi Florian.
I'm sure I'll have to get an output card and SIOC very soon, but my audio selector works flawlessly. The switches have two poles. One side controls the green lights (switch on-> green light on) the other side is hooked up to an input card and are assigned in FSUIPC to operate the various audio selections.

Never change a running system - I wouldn't do it either.
For this code you only need an input card - it only addresses the respective FSIUPC offsets (for COM, NAV, ADF, Markers...).
There is no Output related since mine does not have any illuminating lamps when I switch things on.
Regards,
Florian

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
These showed up today
Whoever pulled these from the plane cut the wires very close to the column! I've managed to solder extensions to the shortest cables, so I think I'll be able to save them.
Does anyone know the color codes? Gotta figure out which cables go to wich switch.
My landing gear lever showed up today as well! (Thanks Geremy)
I'm in way too deep now!

Thanks Geremy! I'll try to keep up the progress reports. Things are going to slow down a bit with the sim as we approach summer I'm afraid. To many other projects to finish up.

Full forward
Pull up!

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Well, been a while since the last update. I've been busy with other projects lately, and by the look of things it's going to stay that way for a while. I hope to get back on track and steaming along with the sim after the summer. Anyways, my TQ and the glare shield arrived today. I had a good look at your pictures daveaust, from your TQ refurb. Amazing job. I can see I have a bit of work ahead of me. Mine looks very much like yours did in the early photos. Hopefully I'll be able to put some work into it over the spring and summer. I'll post a few photos of the new arrivals soon.

Re: Norwegian 727-200 project
Tor, yes the 727TQ was a dirty job but it sure was addicting once I got started. I have one major tip. The easiest cleaner for 40+ years of grease/lint buildup is this $1 a bottle orange-oxy cleaner I get from what we call "dollar stores" around here. It works way better than 409, windex, etc. It sprays on and just melts the gunk. The best part is that is rinses right off with H2O and you end up with sparkly squeaky clean parts that are perfect. I gently scrape where the thick grease is then use it. The rinsing action is the best feature. I re-lubed things with white lithium grease(no moly) and it so far seems smooth as feathers. BTW the first time I tested the TQ, it was night and day even between my cool throttletek TQ. I was amazing how I "seemed" to have better skills just by using the real thing. Then again I guess that's why they use real TQ's on real planes?!? Just kidding... enjoy and hit me if you have any questions specific to the 727 unit since I lived inside mine for a month and a half daily! I look forward to you photos.
