Here is the latest pics from my cockpit Cheesy I made the investment and so far Im pleased. The go flight module plugs in directly via USB and is configured thru software. The advanced module is more then what I need right now but as my flying skills increase the added functionality of a full mcp should come in handy.

I do have a problem with the encoder for the vertical speed wheel. Ill more then likely need to send it back, but I heard that goflight has excellent support so no worries.

Here is the latest pic:

Here is another quick pic of how I mounted the cold cathode tubes under the glareshield:

I may have a major setback I dropped the main flight sim pc (the one to the right in the first pic) when I was moving stuff around to get the mcp mounted Angry. It hit the floor and stuff went all over I still havent tested out and to be honest Im a bit scared Grin

once you're done the dash part of the sim set up, make sure you use that chair on the left as your captains seat Wink Wink  Cool

Here is a better night shot, I cant begin to express how much more entertaining flying ILS is with the MCP. Also the cathode lighting, once I made some adjustments adds to the realism. My next step will be to build a base which will hold the seat and pedestal.
