Simkits Turn Coordinator

I've just ordered the last gauge that I need to complete the basic 6 panel. The turn coordinator will hopefully come soon (they said it's in stock and ready to ship) so that I can test it alongside the non USB instruments.

Soldering the switches and comms panel

This is asking for trouble! Soldering the switch panel on our dining room table. Thank God my wife is so...forgiving!

Electrical components

I recently installed the electrical components into the chassis. The Simkits CCU2 board, Simkits 32bit controller, PSU and USB hub are now all in place. I've been testing the Simkits gauges alongside the TRC software and FS004 on a spare computer. They need a bit more tweaking to get them correctly calibrated with the TRC software but I'm happy with them so far. I spoke to Peter at Simkits support to ask about compatibility between old CCU2 gauges and the new USB type. Fortunately he says they will work side by side with no problems. That's a relief since I am still missing a turn coordinator which I need to purchase fairly soon if I want to get this completed.
