Christian,
That is truly one of the nicest historical simulator cockpits I have ever seen. Super job.

It's time for another update. Many parts have been added since the last post. F/E station is complete and even the desk lights are working. Radios are working thanks to the Goflight GF-46 panel I installed on the glare shield center panel.
And I have already made the first test flights.... with a 9" LCD screen placed on top of the glare shield
Everything is working now except the brakes, I have to modify them a bit before.
And what comes next? Well there are still many things to do. The overhead panel is still half empty (or half full or you're an optimist) and there are a lot of decorative items missing.

Did you notice.... I even have wipers now )) (I'm really proud to have these)

Here are some pics...

And another update...
Last weekend I installed all the boxes I have in the overhead panel and connected the lights.... I just love it how it looks. I have now my own redlight district Now it's time to go to bed... it is late. Next time I will take my tripod to make better pictures.

That looks great. Just like you were there.

Well, it is almost done. A few parts are still missing but I'm working on it. Today I had some visitors from the Super Constellation Association and they really enjoyed the flying.
The outside visuals are still very simple... a projection screen a one beamer. But if you take the picture from the right angle it looks very real.
I installed "Switzerland Pro" scenery which looks phantastic. If you're a fan of mountains and maybe Switzerland, you have to have this. ( www.flylogicsoftware.com ) Even in FS9 it looks wonderful!

It's a while since the last update... well I was working a lot and now I'm almost finished. Only the ceiling covers are missing, everything else is inside the pit and working.

I had my first mission outside of the "hangar"... a visit at the Event Coordinator meeting of our association. The guys were like little children at christmas in a toy store and I think you all know wht I mean

It was also funny to see the faces of the people on the highway. I bet they had absolutely no idea what this thing on the trailer was ))
