Hi, Thanks for that, I can fully understand your dimensions.

As for the light panel, I think that for now I would reproduce a dummy panel just for now, unless you make the MIP out of quite thick wood and sand down the cutouts so that they are rounded and smooth, that way you it will allow you depth to accommodate the components required to interface the electronics.....

Again, thanks for the measurements.....

Your FCU is VERY good, top quality!

Kind Regards,

Alex

thanks steve and ian
know that i found out how to upload photos i will post more photos
ian i am a airbus fan i love all airbus seires but because there are more a320 parts softwere and things than
say 330 and 340 i will stick with a twin engine
because my hard were is from cockpit sonic i was told that i need PM for it to fully work
but because i can not afored PM and the net work of pc at the moment
my only alternative is at this moment
wilco airbus addon witch i drag and drop my instruments were i whant them
and the famouse matrox tripel head for know
i wish wilco and cockpit sonics could work together making an interface as they have with cp flight
but as i asked there are no attentions
and as i spoke with PM and they do not brack up the packege so i guess i have to save up
do you have any other ideas??
kind regards spiro
