CS757 SIMPIT UPDATE overhead panel ! ! ! PICS!

hey friends, I am upgrading my current CS757 Home simpit with some fancy hardware, I got together with Skynav a company that produces replica Panels for 737 757 767 777  ect, We got together and started this project to make a lifesize replica Overhead panel that I can Interface with my Cs757  for fs9.   I have found away to edit the .XML to use any button or knob in the game to interface with a keyboard or joystick.

here are some shots taken at the beginning of the creation using CAD.



The backplates cut out and base coat paint applied.






Laser Engraving Begins!



Glamour Shots
almost complete...










My old overhead with Knobs and Korry indicators all home wired,









some testing of the TQ korry indicator and using the Saitek Switch panel Board with leds,  Mounted korry boxes over them



dark mockup of testing korrys with existing TQ





wire mess but organized with home drawn schematic




Old Simpit that I am Upgrading Smiley




FULL MIP on 2 lower monitors using  CS757 main panel edited with FSpanelstudio  FMC is on Touchscreen tablet Which on desktop is simulated as an extended monitor left of my lower panel.


Captains Side MIP inside FSPANELSTUDIO showing layout of each panel 



and ingame Captains Side MIP


Center EICAS panel inside FSPANELSTUDIO





This would not have been Possible without the Captain SIM 757   and the realistic modeling and switches and knobs that I can interface.   I Will be updating you all very soon once it happens. !

Thanks!
