Very nice panels, they Look very professional.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Yes, the square box on the F/O's ND is the VSD. It's not fully implemented in PM yet (projected a/c path isn't there), but works well enough to at least give you a little extra warning that you're about to fly into a mountain.
Today's project involved taking a couple of plastic clipboards from Office Depot and bashing them with a hammer until the "clip" part of the board was free, then mounting the newly liberated "clips" to the interior liners to create the map clipboards present in the real NG.
Next to come: Map/Chart light boards/interface, Nihad's great new V2 o2 panels, and cup holders (gotta have some place to keep the beer bottles secured during flight!! ;) ).

I think the FDS shell and liner setup is great, though I would like to know the price of their liner kit. I think they should post their prices on the website, but I'm sure they would tell me if I called. Someone mentioned that the liners were square looking. It would be impossible to have curved wall liners because the shell itself has flat walls. I think they made it like this to make it less costly and easier to ship. I think their shell is very well done and decentlly priced compared to other shells I have seen. If the liners are priced decently then it would be a nice package for sure. I think the compromises they made for cost and ease of asembly were good ones. I appreciate this especially after working awhile on my own curved version of a shell.
Congratulations to you on a nice simulator setup.
