How it is

Glareshield panels almost finished. Electronic works still incomplete for Cpt. EFIS.

Cpt. glareshield wing annunciators works perfectly (Flightdeck Solutions nice work), but need some improvements in control software (probably SIOC)

FCU finished.

Development

In the last few months we were working around some individual solutions to replicate the environment of an Airbus A320 cockpit. We have started by glareshield panels as you can see in pictures of illumination tests. Next we plan to work on the MCDU panel and other pedestal panels, like Radio/Nav panel, but for this one we want to produce a module totally plug´n´play or at least wire´n´play.
