Hi David,

Thanks for the attempt. I know of another person that tired as well with the same results.

I have e-mailed them myself a couple of times with some interesting results. One sounded all happy and would do whatever was needed to get me the pictures we needed. Of course I haven't heard anything from them, even after sending a few reminds to them.

With the pictures from the net, books, and people like you guys, I think we have a pretty close 2D panel set-up. My panel/gauge guy just finished some really nice stuff.

Once we get some cooler weather and summer time is gone, I should be able to start up on the Jetliner again. The VC is a lot more complex than the Tutor was.

Sorry I haven't replied in awhile. Spring/summer is a real busy time for our family, plus it gives me a break to help avoid burn out.

Thanks for all the guys, it has helped out a lot and with Mark's sound files, this puppy will be awesome. No more default 737 sounds.

Anyone know?

Kind regards

Hi John

I think it is a very long term project.

There were some hold ups getting details....which were slowly getting sorted.

last year i went to take photo's of the cockpit from the display in Ottawa. well i went down there and tried to gain access. from the start the staff were rather rude and point blank refused to let me photograph the cockpit with out the perspex screen.
i have taken photo's and all i need to do is find the pack and post to your if you are still wanting them. i found out the reason behind the lack of help from Ottawa. because of the low level radioactive paint used on the instruments, canadian health have not stated that all displays with any radioactive dials/paints are to be fenced off and no access given.
please give us a shout if you want the photo's.

This looks very nice indeed. I'll certainly be getting this when you release it, thanks!
