Hello everyone! I'm back again to tell you all that I've started something that might excite some of our Heavy Retro Fliers... I've begun work on a brand new, fully functional 747 Classic panel. It will be quite a while before I can even dream of releasing it, but I've got some basic stuff down. Basically the entire panel is to be functional and operable, comparable to the real aircraft. The systems will all be coded using C++, which I am still a beginner of but am learning, and the rest will be coded with FS9 XML, which means the whole panel will be compatible with FS9, FSX, and possibly even P3D. In the end, my intent is for it to work 100% with a modified version of the POSKY 747, with modifications being made to the flight dynamics as necessary. Also it is my intent for the panel to have options, such as Integrated Simvionics (a separate but worthwhile purchase), tape and round dial engine gauges, and a couple different styles of panel. If anyone has any information at all, be it flying experience, photos, schematics, manuals, you name it, and wouldn't care to give it to me, I would be happy to list you in the credits of this freeware work. Thank you! Enjoy a screenshot of what I have for the main panel. No gauges yet, just a bitmap and a work in progress at the time of writing.

As I have updated one thread, I will update another too... Progress is coming along much more slowly on this, but it is happening. This is my new reworked background bitmap. Not finished but close enough to be worth sharing I suppose. Most everything here is done by hand, with some small photo elements (that will likely be gone over in the near future). The 'functional' bits of these are being worked on quietly in my work shed...
