The empty openings, where normally the MIP tools have come, for the time being, filled up with images.

The story is found on page Hardware/MIP/MIP Tools.

Thanks Kenny for the support !

The CDU-stand is ready. 10 mm wider than the real size. This is for the safety, that everything runs successfully.
See Hardware/CDU.

Now we can start on the Lower panels.

Today started with the construction of the CDU (CDU-bay). So the tilt table before the MIP in which the CDU/FMC’s and ‘Lower’ EICAS’. See Hardware/CDU.

Everything connected to the PC and the various drivers loaded (USB, MCP and PMDG FSLabs).
Check that all buttons, switches and leds work + MCP and EFIS. Everything works ! Wow ! Impressive sight !

Now I can see what quality FlyEngravity and CPFlight in house... Really!!!

Configuring the various monitors in windows was pretty easy. Then the various PMDG displays PFD/ND and Upper EICAS sleep and to the appropriate monitor dragged. Than the size of the different windows adjusted to the size of the display frames. As expected, the side of the F/O is not optimal.

The monitor of the Capt side is just using a VGA splitter cable will be transferred to the F/O side. It should I have a piece from the base plate away so that the monitor a bit to the middle can be moved. The dual PFD/ND display correctly fit behind the windowframes of the MIP. When this is done. Everything fits perfectly!

By the attached black foam (foam), between the screen and the windowframe it also provides a beautiful depth perception on the PFD/ND and EICAS.

FlyEngravity has the necessary cut-outs made in the MIP-bottom to the 19"screens to them to begin. For they are sufficient to allow countersinking must be a part of the front of the MIP-stand cut out. The screens would be +- 15 mm need and therefore are therefore not under the table. I also need to take into account that the space that is cut out should be more than enough for the buttons on the front of the TFT's.

Also a couple of inches extra cut out from the base plate of the MIP for the F/O monitor. The planned cutout for the VGA connector was not sufficient to allow the full monitor to the right on the slide.

The MIP even on the MIP position and everything fits like a glove. To the millimeter. One millimeter less of the width of the MIP stand was too little... From happiness !
