Second layer done
As a seasoned (…) epoxy floor manager, I just used my lunch break to put on the second layer of epoxy coating on the cellar floor. The second time was easier than the first. I only had to walk up the stairs 4 times to pick up the stuff I...

First layer of epoxy floor done
The first layer of the epoxy coating in my floor has dried up and is looking good. There will be another layer, just to make it completely level and smooth. I have the opportunity now, so why not use it? I can really picture the future setting already. The walls...

No luck
Update: after messing around whole day with this old stuff, it simply is too old. Won’t run Windows 10, or 8 even. And, since Windows 7 is no longer supported, all this old stuff is going to be binned. I still have a Samsung table that I got at a...

Efass and second pc
Today I need to wait for my cellar floor to dry, so I decided to spend some time in additional software to Flight Simulator. I always have some difficulty to find my way taxiing on the airports, so I went on the look out for some help there. To my...

New soldering gear
Yesterday my new soldering gear was delivered. The previous set I bought was convenient, because it is wireless, but wasn’t getting hot enough. I was struggling with getting a good connection on the boards. This one works way better. I soldered a couple of displays earlier that didn’t work. Re-soldering...

Decision time
After some thinking I decided against building the complete software stack from scratch. It is just too much work which will take time and I don’t want that time taken away from the flying experience. I know that I can build software and don’t have to practice on that anymore...

Thinking about the cockpit layout
I’m thinking about the layout of the cockpit. First I thought to make it completely fixed, but I will want to fly different planes. And, with a different plane comes a different layout. So, I am planning to be able to (sort of) swap out the layout of the cockpit....
