Want to know how to cheaply and easily make your own backlighting? See it HERE.

I have decided to build a Boeing 777. Go to the new Boeing 777 Simulator page to see preliminary photos. My good friend Gwyn over at Aerosim Solutions will be building my 777 throttle quad and most of the panels. Once again Opencockpit hardware will be my choice of interface along with SIOC code to run the baby.

Watch this space and follow my progress because it's going to be exciting!
