John Wojnaroski’s 747 Project
Two years ago Curtis posted a query to see if anyone was interested in developing glass displays for FlightGear based on the OpenGC project. One thing led to another and after developing some early software http://www.opengc.org) and meeting with Jim Brennan and several months browsing websites of sim developers and cockpit builders I decided to take it one step further and build some hardware.
Curtis has graciously offered the services and resources of the FlightGear website to publish the results of the project and on-going progress towards a fully functional system. Here is an initial, brief description of a work in progress to build a functional flight simulator with a cluster of Linux based PCs.
