Well i was hoping to add more as i progressed in my building, but it appears i cant any more attachments (when i edit the original post, or when i add a new post)
Seems i have to start a whole new thread? :roll:

Did you try pressing 'reply this thread' ?

[tomcat78]

Hi nick.
Yes i tried that. but the attatchment icon dissapears. seems its only visable when you post a new thread.

[Nick1150]

Hi Gwyn,
I will have to pop in soon and have a look.
Hows the overhead going?

Now i reached the point were most of the MIP is complete. Just waiting on the annunciators, 2 AFDS, clocks, a brake pressure gauge, and 3 toggles.
After these items have been fitted, i will then give it the final lick of paint

The MIP Chapter will soon be finished :smile: and when my Revolution TQ pro arrives in a few weeks, my project will really take shape.

Parts Arrived from Revolution Simproducts.
MIP Center and left almost complete.
A Clear Matt Polyurethane Clear Coat for the finish.
This takes away the gloss, and adds some durability.

Got to the stage now where i can plug a few things in, to see how they shine.
Only problem is that FSX has become a little more addictive, and im not getting much building done!
Main MIP almost done, Clocks and Brake pressure guages arrived from flight illusion, and are now installed, i just cant work
out how to get the software working, for these, as they are not exactly "plug n Play".

WidevieW has also been installed on 3 Client computers. These 3 computers will eventually be running projectors.
I am now very happy with the performance of these scenery clients.

My next step is the lower display, CDUs, and lower MIP Panels. I will try and build this, in 2 halves. This will give me the option
to setup a full, or half size flight deck. At first it will be half size, just to keep me entertained with the little space,
i currently have. Then later on, piece together the full size deck.

Looking like a great project, thanks for the pictures. They say you should keep flying while building, don't let it distract you for achieving your ultimate goal though! :)

Thanks Geremy,
Here's a couple of vids.
Sorry for the blurries and stutters but youtube managed to mangle them.

Another month rolls by and the simwheel keeps on turnin'

Work progressed with the CDU Bay.
Center LCD, and FDS CDU, accompany this module
A second CDU, added later, will complete this module.
7mm ply form the shell, along with a basic wooden frame.
The lower display surround is MDF, and clips onto the module with magnets.

With the arrival of the pedals, i can now begin work on the left and right lower sections.......

See you next month!

Hi Everyone,
This month was a busy one for me. With the arrival of the pedals from "Aerosim Solutions", the next logical step was to begin
work on the lower left and right panels. A frame was also built to support the end parts of the mip. Having the pedals with me made it easy to build these parts. I made sure there was adequate clearance for the pedals, and at the same time plenty of strength to support the upper sections. I also changed the CDU bay, giving it more realistic dimentions.
