Greetings Friends, I have made significant Updates to my Captain Sim 757 home simpit.
here is the base pit I am adding to, using FS9 cs757 panels edited with FSPanelstudio.
I have turned to the realism realm.
Starting off with the overhead Panel designed and made from NAVCOM simulations on facebook,
The quality is unmatched excellent ! ! !

These are my own Korry switches I made using Square pushbutton switches from amazon.
When given 12v they illuminate, I made a custom Template for the legends,
Here are the Korry indicators I got off ebay from PCflights.com They are out of NYC and are great and under 4 dollars each, They are custom engraved to your specs, and multiple color options, they include dual leds, with its own installed PCB all you need is 5v and ground.
here are the indicators lit up for my IRS panel.
Here is the New Landing Gear Light plate sitting behind my Recently aquired 757 landing gear lever,
and here is my main piece of KIt, a used ACE 757 Yoke. the feel of this is so real. all metal , all working switches, motion is replicated. So worth it and got it at a decent price !
What's in the works now is to take my dual Saitek Throttles and make custom light plates for the FLap and Speed brake positions. as well as make a custom Box that sits in front of the throttle to hold the ENG and SPAR valve korrys and the Fuel cut off switches. with light plates.
My plan is to remove the glass desk and build a half pit from the captains side MIP to the landing gear lever.
Lots are happening and will update you all with the progress !
