  Just realized it has been long time since the last update so i wanted to  post a few pics of my progress. Most of the work lately has been behind the overhead panel wiring the LED’s and switched to the IO interface.  Also installed the real trim parts up there as well.  Flying on VATSIM is much easier now thanks to the  USB radios  installed in the center pedestal.

  Sim now has visuals thanks to an Epson projector mounted overhead.  For now the image is about 6.5’ wide projected on to a painted white wall. Using mirrors the image will be widened to increase the field of view.

   The sim is ALIVE!!  Display computers are now all finished and working perfectly.  Also installed and wired the FDS-G1 which controls and makes the MCP completely functional.

  Finally got a break from all the rain and was able to paint the metal structure. The neighbors never really seem to understand what goes on at this house! Also got a chance to mount the forward overhead assembly. Both forward and aft overhead racks are hinged at the rear to allow easy access behind the panels.
