My new CS757 Home Simpit

hello fellow cs757 ers !   I have been building my simulator for years now and using the captain sim 757 for its base, I run this all on one PC and use eyefinity for the top 3 displays and the bottom two displays  are connected to the same card for a dualhead2go. for the bottom full MIP. I used  FSPANEL STUDIO to customize the CS757 MIP.   I have 757 handles for my saitek throttles from www.flightsimpm.com  and designed and created the spring loaded flap handle with detent.


This is my 757 SIMPIT i made


this is the captains side MIP.


this is the Center Eicas Display,


I have the korry warnings on that display and here is them in FSPANELSTUDIO showing placement



and here is the image of my Captains Side MIP in FSPANELSTUDIO

and here is a screenshot of my desktop during the sim,  The FMC is on a tablet connected via WIFI using AIRDISPLAY and is docked on my pc on desktop management to be to the left of my lower mip panel.






and this is my new overhead panel! and i made these custom korry switches !


and they are illuminated by 12v neon bulbs,


Here is a video of my old setup landing KJFK on vatsim

Thanks!  i put the another company  VS the CS  on a recent test and i cant see how anyone would put the another company 757 over the cs..  are you kidding me?  The gauges in the CS are so crisp and perfect. and the wx integration is key.  The only thing that was off putting was the lack of OFFSET, mouse macros, and open source for home building. But i found a way to set joystick buttons found in another thread i wrote.  I havea goal to mimic a real 757-200 which i was able to edit the CFG  to make it

OEW 130,870
Balance arm  1037.8   =  23.42% CG  has to modify
[WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE]
max_gross_weight = 256000 // (pounds)
empty_weight = 127520 // (pounds)
reference_datum_position = 2.3, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord,
empty_weight_CG_position = 2.5, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum

to match a 75x  184 pax seating config.
