That was great.
How much of the panel was original? From what I heard of their original panels, you must have done a lot of your own work there. Do you plan on making it available?

My first attempt at an L10 panel was back in 2006 which used a lot of the Aerosim gauges. I realised back then that to get what I wanted I had to learn gauge design.
This my third rendition of my L10 panel is completely custom made. The only gauges that are not mine are Doug Dawson's sound and fuel dump gauges. (genius!)
It is a labour of love (great excercise for the grey matter) and unlikely that my panel will made available to the general public.

FS has taught me everything. How to build and use a computer, photography, Photoshop/PSP, gauge design/coding, FDE design, sound design , effects design….. I even dipped my toe in modelling.
Let alone how to fly an aircraft…….what a great hobby this is.
