    kidding at what Joe? My comment about the company or about being bitten in the butt? As for the comment about the company I would say the exact same thing about Innovative, Engravity, any day of the week.

    @ Tim... Your right no doubt about it. But remember also that when the builders demanded more realism FDS delivered. At that time we only had AGT....(no longer in business) CSI, A320 Project (FDS), or real parts ...which for the aircraft we were building were not available. The bar is continually being raised by all companies now and thankfully for us builders we are no longer building with horrible plastic crap and comments like yours below can continue to flow....

    Havent been around for a long while thought I'd drop in and all i can say is Peter you truly have continued to outdo yourself, at this pace you will be building sims so real pilot will prefer those over the real thing. Congrats Pete lots of hours and you earn all the praise.

    Hmmm. Not this pilot. Even if somehow they were ever to offer 727 equipment, I'd still buy the real parts. They could never match surplus prices with Korry indicator and flight rated switches already installed. I doubt they could match the authenticity of 30 years of use.

    They make a very good product. There is no doubt in anyone's mind about that.

    Actually Gary I was talking about trade marking of geometrical shapes, but thanks for the complements. I’m thinking there is a misunderstanding here, I apologize if so.

    I always thought you sim builders regarded suppliers of cockpit components with something like reverence or awe. I am relieved to see that this is not the case. As I have mentioned before, I particularly admire Juan Cordon's work....clever bloke, that fellow. And of course Ivar Hestes' cockpit shell, really quite a work of art.
