MIP Captain Upper Panel - A Boeing 737-800 Homecockpit #77

I think the annunciators shouldn't be flush mounted but stick out a bit to permit movement for the individual annunciator light test. I also thought the label for the light test is just a sticker but I may be wrong. But I love following your channel and yo are doing great construction work with skills that I don't have 😊

My annunciators stick out a little bit. But they don't have a light test.

[@flavianojose8423]

in the test position the entire cockpit has to be illuminated except the fire waring lights

[@aerodreams7375]

no depends on power source

I have one question that I never understood, does mobifight only works with prosim, or else, what is really the function of prosim in mobiflight? I never got a clear clarification of that

[@Mickeys_Flightdeck]

These are independent programs. Mobiflight is just a program that can read or write values in the Flightsimulator via FSUIPC or the new variables from MSFS. And of course it can do the same in XPlane. Prosim is a software that simulates the systems of the boeing and uses also these ways to communicate with the simulator. You can compare it with the plugin from PMDG. Prosim works alone only together with the simulator. And to tell Prosim what commands it should send or where it should visualize some outputs you can use hardware from different commercial manufacturers like CPFlight, FDS or many others. These can communicate with Prosim directly or via the ways I've mentioned at the beginning. And this is what you are doing when you are building your own hardware and let it send commands via MobiFlight and FSUIPC. I hope this makes it alittle bit clearer for you.

@@Mickeys_Flightdeck I appreciate a lot for the explanation. Thanks

What are those connectors you're using, and how did you decide to use those? The VGA ones at about 8:50. Apologies if you've answered in previous videos, only just started to watch from this one.

[@Mickeys_Flightdeck]

These are dsub connectors. I'm going into the details of cable management in video 41.

This is amazing! I can't wait for more updates. As far as I know and the few times I've been in a 737 cockpit and seen the annunciator lights test, Those annunciators light up. But I might be wrong. This video shows most of the annunciators during the annunciator light test:kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIrNen2VrdyXbbs

Hi Michael, The speed brake indicators are not illuminating during light test because it seems aircraft is not properly configured. Please make sure you have AC power on both XFR buses. If not, some indicators may not illuminate during light test. Great work, btw. ;)

[@Mickeys_Flightdeck]

Thank you. I will check this.

@@Mickeys_Flightdeck I think the extra annunciators you mentioned came after the Helios 737 accident
