Open Source 747 Cockpit Simulator

February 12-13, 2005 - Southern California Linux Expo. Los Angeles Convention Center, CA.
John Wojnaroski will be bringing his 747 cockpit project to demo and display. Jim Brennan (retired United Airlines 747 pilot) will also be there to assist.

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.
