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?

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?

WOW!!! That thing gets better and better, day by day. Makes me look even more forward to actually getting to see it. One of these days.

You don't think that green bottle has Oxygen in it do you?

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!

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!

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.

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...

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

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...

At least some of you had a great time that day. ha ha

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.

With a pit like that, how could you!!! Can't wait to see it again.
