A tiny update...
I'm about half done with the right Aux console - still need the square bezels on the clock and cabin pressure gauges, FLCS display, tie in between stick base and console, and more work on the backlighting. Then I have to skin it...Burner, could you help me out? :wink: The numpad that resides where the caution panel should be, controls my phantom server.

Where is the cup/can holder? Or are we doing the beer helmet idea with refillable bottles on either side of the head rest on the seat? :lol:

lol, reminds of me whenever I go snowboarding, I see all these skiers with tubes coming out of their backpacks with water in them, that's not what would be in mine...

Here's something for ya Gunner! 8)

http://www.meriweather.com/16/16-fd.html

The panels shown have a clickable interface that tells you what every button in the cockpit does in real life. Plus, as a bonus an F-16 Flight Checklist! :D

That site's not entirely accurate, for example they have the spd brk listed as forward- spd brk goes to 0 position, Aft- spd brk goes to full position. Still it is a neat site, reminds me on the first time I loaded up a hacked Falcon Mod and started an F-16 engine button for button :)

Thanks LD!...Please keep posting anything you find, one of these days you will find one I haven't already spent hours Perusing. :D :wink:

For the past four weeks, Krista(my significant other) and I have been enjoying a visit from her 11 year old son - this is a kid that has never thought about anything other than being a professional motocross racer. After a few weeks with the "pit", and watching several sorties with the team, he's having thoughts of another Career... :D

When we had a discussion yesterday about the Air Force, and a career as a pilot, he said "I'm seriously considering it." :wink:

This might have had something to do with it...
Thanks Boss :!:

Gunner,

Must say that those are some cool shots. You realize that not 10 mins after you guys flew over us, as I was below mountain biking, that I had my not so great landing... :oops: At least some of you had a great time that day. ha ha 8) :lol: A visit to the ER and four stitches later I was really wishing that I was with you. Looks like he is having a great time. I bet you won't be able to get him to leave. :lol: With a pit like that, how could you!!! Can't wait to see it again.
