Fig. 1. The disassembled chassis on the new base floor.

In this installment, we finally built a proper base floor and started working on the outer frame and body of the cockpit. This report won't be as technically thorough as my last two, but I got all the more exciting pictures to share!


Swiss Rolling Stock in Ardèche, France

S. Golov | 16.08.2026 | rev2.6 projects-hobbies

Quite by accident I discovered Swiss rolling at the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais or more commonly known as the Train de l'Ardèche during my summer holidays. This is a crude documentation effort of some of the stuff I discovered there.


A380 Flight-Sim Progress: Part 2 "Before It Gets Better, It's Getting Worse"

S. Golov | 11.08.2026 | rev1 projects-hobbies

In this installment, I'm reverse engineering how the main throttle, FLAPS, SPEED BRAKE and PARK BRK control surfaces are connected to the FDS-FS1 joystick controller.

Furthermore, I decided to take a look at the pilot chairs again. This time at the cushions and some new labels I found.


A380 Flight-Sim Progress: Part 1 "It Smells Like Boeing"

S. Golov | 24.07.2026 | rev2.52 projects-hobbies

In this new series, fellow students of the ETH and I will attempt an ambitious project; Revive a flight-sim chassis we've received as a generous donation to the SOSETH students organization. This marks the first entry in an ongoing series to bringing the Airbus A380 flight simulator back to life.
