| L-1011 MIP Cabling |
The last few sessions working on the Lockheed L-1011 trainer at the museum have been very deep in the cabling trenches of the main instrument panel (MIP). Cabling takes a lot of patients and it is not particularly fast work either. In the image above and below you can see some of the new cable bundles introduced into the MIP on both the Captain's and the First Officers side. All this cabling is being done in preparation for the simulator being outfitted with the Ethernet based SIM429-11 ARINC interfaces.

Saturday I also installed the second of 3 Ethernet switches into the simulator. This 5 port 10/100T switch will connect the SIM429 interfaces to the computer.
