Building a Mobile Flight Simulator
summary
Rebuilt a British Airways 787 cockpit into a trailer, replacing clunky PCs and controls with a .NET instructor app, Prepared3D visuals, WideView networking and FSUIPC, plus 4G remote support; hardware uses Leo Bodnar IO boards, TinyPICO Arduinos over UART, encoders and motors to provide force-feedback yokes. Apprentices fabricate cockpit fittings, wheelchair rails provide full access, and a scoring/certificate system prints results. System survives road stress, lets disabled children actually fly approaches, and raises funds for Dreamflight and London Air Ambulance.
