Trc1000 Glass Cockpit

TRC1000 GLASS COCKPIT
The most realistic flight simulator device ever
As close to reality as you can get:
the TRC1000 Glass Cockpit System
Easy to connect
Software Development Kit
Easy to configure
Complete System
The TRC1000 panels and Audio Panel
are recognized by the PC as so-called
HID devices. This means that interfacing
with the PC is an easy task. Interface
software for Microsoft FSX is included
for better performance.
Interface software for other popular flight
simulator packages is under
development.
In case you’d like to write your own
software for your propriety flight
simulator, an SDK (Software
Development Kit) is available to allow
development in most popular
programming languages as Visual Basic,
C++ or Delphi. When used with
Microsoft Flight simulator FS9 or FSX no
programming is necessary.
The Main Display units are configurable
by means of a so-called dip switch.
The identification towards the PC can be
set as 1, 2 or 3 which enables you to
create a flight simulator setup with even
3 main displays in case you’d like to
simulate todays most modern version of
the Cessna Caravan which utilizes 3
main displays. (3rd display not included)
The TRC1000 System comes complete
with all cabling and power supplies to
start using it immediately.
VGA cables, Power Supply for voltages
from 100 to 240 volt and for 50 and
60Hz are included as well as clear
documentation how to configure the
Microsoft Flight Simulator G1000
settings.

Configurable
Audio Panel
The TRC1000 can be configured exactly as you want. The left part of the panel which holds a.o.
the Autopilot buttons can easily be removed and replaced to either with or without Autopilot or
with or without the VNV Key (Vertical Navigation Mode) or a choice of the presence of each.
Multiple cover parts and buttons are included with every TRC1000 PFD and TRC1000 MFD.
This makes it easy to create a panel with physical Autopilot and DME if required.
The TRC1000
Audio Panel is
an individual
unit holding all
necessary
pushbuttons
and rotary
encoders.
The red
pushbutton
enables
switching of the
panels from
PFD to MFD
and vice versa.
Additional Storage
Each display panel has 2 SD Card slots
and comes with 2 SD Cards of 1 Gbyte.
All SD Card slots are recognized by the
PC as additional harddisks, enabling you
to create “Flight Planning” on another
PC prior to flight training on the
TRC1000 equipped simulator.

What it is
What it is not
What else do you need
The TRC1000 System is the most realistic Flight
The TRC1000 System is not a Glass Cockpit
system to be used in any type of real aircraft. The
system offers the realistic looks of bezels, buttons
and rotaries as an original glass cockpit system,
and the interface for these buttons and rotaries to
your PC system to control the simulated flight
environment, it does not generate any images on
the screen by itself.
As the TRC1000 system is equipped with
800x600 LCD/TFT screens, these screens can
be considered as normal VGA screens as you
can connect to your PC VGA output.
Simulator device ever produced. It’s looks and feels are just
as you expect from a Glass Cockpit system for Flight
Simulation.
It is designed as a so-called HID Device, which means that
you do not need any low level driver software. Interface
software for Microsoft FS2004 and FSX is included.
Connecting the TRC1000 to your PC is easy: use the USB
interface for all connections or in combination with the VGA
interface to connect the video to your PC and you are ready
to fly.
The TRC1000 comes with the following interfaces:
1.A USB interface which connects internally to the following devices via a
built-in USB HUB system:
a. The SD Card Reader 1,
b. The SD Card Reader 2,
c. The TRC1000 electronics for buttons and rotaries interfacing,
d. The TFT Screen utilizing a built-in EVGA UV Plus module,
2. A VGA interface for direct VGA data from a standard VGA Video Card,
3. A DVI-I Dual Link interface (Digital & Analog) for direct digital video data.
The connection between the built-in USB video interface or the direct
VGA/DVI interface is accomplished by a bridge connector. When fitted, the
USB interface is used, when removed the video can be supplied via the
VGA or DVI connector.
Compatible with.....
Microsoft Flight Simulator X is needed (or any other
Flight Simulator Software which has a Garmin
G1000 simulation as undockable screens) to
display the proper information on the TRC1000
screens.
The functionality of the TRC1000 system when
using Microsoft FSX is limited to the via Microsoft
FSX available glass cockpit functions.
Add-on software which simulates the Garmin
G1000 system is avalable from third parties. Well
known quality software is avalable from a.o.:
www.mindstarprods.com/aviation/ and
www.projectmagenta.com/products/gagc.html
When you would like to connect the video
directly to your PC: Windows (XP and Vista) are
able to control up to 8 video cards in your PC.
Windows (XP or Vista) easily controls 2 extra
video screens.
Video outputs can be created by adding 1 or 2
extra video cards to your PC (not included in the
TRC1000 package).
When you would like to interface the video via
USB: for each Display System you will need
one USB connection to your PC. This is the
same connection as for the normal I/O with the
computer for buttons/rotaries and for the 2 SD
Card interfaces built-in.
