Here are some more pics of my (semi scale) Martin Baker Mk3KS ejection seat. Ive been busy doing other stuff so progress has been a little slow. Learning heaps about wood work and makeing do with what tools i have. I couldnt help but notice many more posts within the cockpit builders thread, so i will enjoy viewing them. Cheers.

Looking very good Matt, i can see the work that's gone into that. Looking forward to comparing the finished piece with the real product!

An update.... Work on the first of my 2 seats continues. Many of the components for the second seat have also been fabricated but far from finished. I have installed FSPanel studio and have experimented with my first custom panels. So far so good, FSPanel studio looks complicated, but they some how make it so easy and no difficulties yet. I have learnt many new things about Fsx itself, including how the views and windows work. I have set up a custom panel that is displayed on a 19 inch screen to compliment my main display. It makes for fun flying.

Im still learning the very basics and im astounded at the effort and technical skill that is required to build many of the sims that i read about in these threads. Especially all you Boeing and Airbus guys. Keep up the good work. The systems that i plan to replicate dont go far beyond that of your average G.A. plane.

And thanks again Remcosol. Cheers.

matthew73, cool project! I am thinking of building the same.

What did you do for instruments? I am probably going to have to write new instruments using Sim Innovations software, but I don't want to, if I can help it. Thoughts?

Do you have pics of your Vulcan sim?
