In keeping with the "multi-role" pit. Sunk the Saitek TQ to be the "civie" prop and mixture levers and modified the far right lever to (roughly) resemble the F-14 manual wing sweep ctrl.

 

told you it would be slow progress.......

Some trimming and little tweaking to do, bezel for the flaps gauge, panel with switches for CMSP, arrestor hook lever to go in, couple of switch panels above 3rd MFCD and AHCP, hide the wiring, DO the wiring

the most excellent gauge bezels were from agrasyuk here on DCS, free plug for a good guy

yea its all based on jedis a10 pit. ive completely rebuilt/redesigned the dash (this one 3 times now) but strongly based on the a10 as those parts gene cut out are far too good to throw out and that has the most exportability with regards to gauges.

 

it was always going to be a muil-role pit, so theres the arrestor hook lever, the two lcd touch screens and the cnter (holes at the moment) thatll be quick change switch panels if needed, but will be wings fold, CAT launch, nose strut squat etc and a flaps control where it is in a Spitfire
