A number of photos taken with a GoPro camera (Black + edition).
What is remarkable is the wide-angle side and the high Iso setting, allowing you a wide and clear image and this in a small and dark space.

The ‘Aural Warning System in my cockpit is a separate part of the ‘Cockpit Audio System, " and is composed of :
The OEM version of the ‘Aural Warning Module (AWM) is a mechanical device that is located to the right of the throttle quadrant, against the wall of the CDU-bay’ (forward bulkhead MIP).
This device indicates the different ‘warnings’, such as short tones of ‘horns’, ‘clackers’, or bell sound and this in a loud and clear way. This to the crew to warn of a problem or a wrong configuration of the aircraft.
In the real version there are internal ‘horns’, ‘clackers’ and a bell. In my version, there is only one speaker built in. A ‘Prosim Audio Module sends all sounds through this speaker.
My AWM is custom made, because of lack of space is my AWM a lot thinner than the real 800-series version.

All of the buttons on my MCP, I have replaced by detailed replicas as the real world Honeywell MCP.
The buttons that are on the CPFlight B737 EL MCP, there seem to be absolutely not in the real versions. These buttons are just standard buttons found in every electronics shop you can find.
The replicas I found at Jacob Wiqvist from Sweden. As a hobbyist, he is starting to experiment with the making of B737-buttons.
The result may be seen. The MCP replica-buttons of Jacob Wiqvist are very nicely finished and very detailed.
For each user of the CP Flight B737 EL MCP, this is a little extra to the realism again what up to boost. For me a must !
