Thanks Henry, it's amazing how many bits some of the older graphics cards can push out!

Been a while but here's some updates..... progress been slow.... pedestal is coming along. Most are home made panels except for the real Boeing Weather Radar and a remake ILS (both came from Roberto) and the Goflight GF-166. The color is Rustoleum Nutmeg (as mentioned on Mike's Powell site as a substitute), which doesn't quite match the real (although i hear there's some variation even with the real panels with the different manufacturers). The ADF, ILS and Transponder are based on Goflight remote GF-166 kit. Found some knobs which other than the color are perfect for the audio panel (and a lot cheaper too). Anyone know how I could give it that transparent look?



I initially used a Goflight remote RP-48 kit for my MCP, and although not widely known, Goflight also has a remote MCP kit which I recently obtained:



Most of the parts to start construction of the MCP:



Also started work on a rudimentary shell:

Nico,

Are you saying you basically only have to assign switches to your program, and that the interface doesn't require any further programming for the 767 D? Something like using FSUIPC where you just use the pull down menu to assign buttons and switches?

Thanks

Henry,

I have a Go Flight MCP Pro for sale if you are interested. If you are PM me and I think I can let you have it for a good price.

Hi Rob

It's too bad that I didn't know about this in early Dec. of last year... probably have taken you up on it. However I have since purchased GoFlight remote kit of their MCP. This will actually allow me to build my MCP to match the 767 (as opposed to the 737 appearance of the MCP Pro).

Thanks anyway.

Looking good.

The outside structure is taking shape nicely. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Tony. It doesn't quite match up to the workmanship of your Spitfire, but it does impress people who drop over.

Henry,

I should be so lucky to have that much workmanship on the Spitty...all I have so far is a green box with some lights and a few bits bought of EBay. I previously built an F-16, so I know how much work it has taken you to get this far...congrats

Tony, that green box of yours was one fine piece of work.... excellent reproduction..... the Spitfire is one of my son's (he's twelve) favorite plane. We look forward to seeing your continue progress.
