MPC PRODUCTS CHOOSES "NOVA"!

Last summer we had a phone call from some folks down in the Chicago area asking about our project and our panels. Darryl and Dan from MPC had been thinking about a way to demonstrate MPC's aircraft parts at trade shows and to prospective clients. They decided that a "Sim" would be the perfect way to achieve the desired result. Problem is that budget can climb to the clouds developing this sort of thing. After some browsing on the internet they came across the A320 Project and the NOVA Series panels we make. Long story short, The challenge was to provide panels to fit a Chris B Shell (B737), A real B717 Pedestal base and create a cohesive layout to blend all of this in. The following pictures show the results of the folks at MPC Products. Steve and I worked on assembling as much as we could up here and many of you saw the NG updates that we had on the page. The rest details what happens when you put the panels and parts into capable hands... Boy are we proud!

The 3D MIPS and "Main/Glare package from the NG kit are highlighted here. You can also see the real B717 Throttles/Pedestal Base that holds Custom B717 Pedestal Panels. The CDUs are NOVA series, non functional but backlit for added effect.

Here is a Straight On shot showing the layout. The beauty here is the lack of Lower EICAS display that saved all kinds of trouble. In behind the 3D MIP is three LCD Panels! Wow! Nice to have some budget.

Here is the sim lit up at night. You can see the three part screen in front of the sim.

Here is the Overhead Section lit up and in place. All NOVA series parts as well as a decal kit that provides the Annunciators and Analog gauges. Steve did all the knobs and played a huge role in the assembly. Thanks Steve!

Here is a lucky MPC Employee on approach with the three projector visual system. Wow!! Special thanks to Darryl and Dan at MPC for their patience and confidence in us. It is truly a pleasure to look at this project and see the NOVA panels in the sim. Thank You! PC
