New 727 Flight Sim Project!

[skyline223]

For those of you who are curious of our screen setup:
We decided to go with three flat projector screens to prevent having to deal with projector warping and the troubles of assembling a curved screen.
Here is a diagram of the projector setup.

We have made alot of progress since the last update. We have:

Installed the third projector
Installed the back portion of the outer shell.
Installed the right portion of the back wall.
Installed the glare shield and fire panel.
Installed all of the interior panels.
Made and installed the clear plexiglass windows
Installed the ceiling flood light fixtures for both the red and white lights.
Installed the emergency exit sign.
Installed the fluorescent glare shield lights.

I have attached a blurry teaser pic...

We have made alot of progress since last update. We have finished up the captain panel and the engine panel. For the gauges, we simply stripped the original gauges of their glass and bezels and reattached the bezels onto the panel. From there, we mounted 17" LCD monitors behind them and we are very pleased with the results.

Oh, and by the way, we purchased yokes from Precision Flight Controls. Extremely nice! We love em'!
