Well, that has been a while! Been busy with some other stuff in the meantime.

At this point I am building the B-17 panel for the simulator project, but what I lack is High resolution pictures of the instruments. To make the servo driven instruments look authentic I have to build them from scratch, that is pretty easy actually.

So is there anyone here that can provide me with a good high quality picture of every instrument on the panel, so I can print them, cut them and put them in the instruments I made so far.

In the meantime I became a member of the aircorps library and they have 20,000+ drawings of the B-17, in very high resolution. So when I finished the panel and the interface for microsoft flightsimulator X I am going to start with the building of the B-17 cockpit mockup.

So in a couple of years we have our own B-17 simulator, unfortunately not full motion, but who knows!!

I hope that someone can provide me with these pictures!

Greeting from a rainy Holland!
