Lightening the MCP & EFIS 

I decided to put backlight on my MCP & fake EFIS on the first officer site. For this, I use flexible light stripes. For my MCP I follow the instructions from the file of David J. Bullock in which the steps are described very well. Here is the link of the file to be downladed:

For my fake EFIS, using a real size photo I put the flexible light strips on the box in the same way and scotch the photo onto the leds.
You may see the details in my construction pages.

Stand Up !

My MIP unit seems a bit realistic now. Eventhough it is still a prototype and not finalized, It is going on as I expected.This photo shows the last state of the construction. The right side EFIS is not real. I took a pic from the left one and put it on the right side to complete the unit. For anyone of you who wants to do in the same way may download the realsize EFIS unit photo  from my construction page.
The glareshield is not finished. I am busy about preparing the front left and right sides of glareshield.

It is flying...

Hi All,
The MCP+EFIS from opencockpits arrived just in time on last Friday. Since it was snowing all day long and we reached the weekend, I had enough time to install it. After having an exhausted search on internet for the resources of SIOC, FUSIPC and other related components I managed to connect my FSX in success.
I will give a detailed description about the installation & configuration on my construction page later.
And I have to work on it for my X-Plane as well. Please watch a small demo of MCP working on my construction page.
Here are some photos of the package and the equipments from opencockpits.

MIP comes out

Hi All, after working hard the last weekend, I finished the basic support of MIP and fixed the monitors on it.
It is not so solid like the others did, but since I have not much space in my room I did it in a way easily mountable and dismontable. But I could fix all the pieces pratically. Please see more photos from this part in my construction page.

MCP + EFIS

Hi Everybody,

Hoping you an happy New Year with all the best, I am planning to speed up in my project.
As I found some more cash, I invested on my MCP & EFIS modules which are vitals for this project.
I ordered them from opencockpits.com having a good price as a Christmas Pack.
This weekend, hoping to start MIP panels I will share first pictures of this implementation.
