Nice setup!
I really like how you did the center console.
The only thing I'm not convinced about is the main instrument panel. It seems you're trying to display a 3D view of the panel but for on a simpit, usually I think 2D works better (if the plane comes with detachable PFD's). Or perhaps it's because the PFD's monitor isn't as well integrated within the simpit as all of the other monitors and components.

Ya I am just using the vc view for convieniance but I can opt to use the 2d instruments undocked...or I am going to look into creating adding the (http://simsamurai.net/) bitmaps so I can customize my gauges as FSX sometimes doesn't offer enough.

Hey how can you use the 2d cockpit so it fills the entire monitor instead of the top half being black?

The console took all of 20 minutes...I placed a milk crate there and laid the monitors on top..propped up with some foam and duct tape. Then I cut some of that partition board available at home depot.

I'm jealous of your simpit!

For the 2D thing. When you drag the panel around there's a white border, and I think you can grab the border and drag to resize it (although then it will be stretched).
