Main Instrument Panel Displays and Gauges
As the general layout of the glareshield portion of the simpit is becoming clearer, I have moved my attention to the main instrument panels section of the cockpit.

Will,
THANKS! It is a lot of work.... but is really a fun project.
The "footprint" of the pit I am building is only 60 inches by 60 inches. Designede it that way. If I could afford all lcd monitors for most of the "glass cockpit" displays (3 of), the depth of the pit could probably be reduced by about 10-12 inches by significantly decreasing the depth of the main panel support structure. If I was willing to "lose" some of the center console pedestal or the left side console, I could easily shave off about 6-9 inches in that dimension.
A Cessna type thing could likely be done in a smaller footprint than the 5' x 5' I'm taking up.
So don't give up completely...... see if you can at lease "spruce up" the desk area that you are using. You were off to a good start a while back.
Thanks again.
best,
.................john
