Made a little more progress.

I have an FDS CDU coming and will be adding an MCP / EFIS shortly.

Doing some software tests tonight.....

Everytime I add something is makes me smile!

Looking great! Having the MIP ready is a milestone.
I know the feeling when things come together, and it's a nice piece of the puzzle you got there.

Whats next?

Thanks Nax!

FDS CDU is on the way, as well as a bracket for the CPFlight EL MCP and dual EFIS. Already have a Rev Sim TQ and throttle and the older FDS dual Nav and COM radios plus a pedestal.

Will likely grab an ACE yoke, then get to work on an FDS Overhead.

Once the house is built and I get my space back, I will be buying the shell and hanging the 3 projectors :)

Almost finished the backlighting this weekend. This FDS IBL lighting is awesome. Perfect coloring to the NG and no dead spots! I'm impressed.

It is really great. How did you do it? Did you bought it all from FDS in one time ? The throttle is from them too? Congratulations man.
