I am finally programming all of the lights to work and function as close to realism as the 767. The picture below shows all of the overhead lamps illuminated. Thanks to James Price, we now have a test switch that will turn all lamps on in the simulator for a 3-4 second count. There are 81 lamps alone in the overhead panel all of which are programmed to illuminate under certain conditions. For example, the left and right packs annunciators illuminate when the air conditioning switch is thrown to the off position just prior to engine start. In addition, the air condition WAV file will spool down when the packs are turned off. In the picture below, all of the switch caps are NOT present as the switch legends are currently being manufactured. All your seeing is the bulbs lit inside the switch housings.

Some pictures of the visual system have been added below. These shots are not that great and I anticipate sharing much better ones with you soon. You can kind of see where we are going with this. A feeling of immersion is taking grip..................

Completed more work on the visual system tonight. I also added some pictures below showing the projector on and being aligned. Wow, you should see the palm trees swaying back in forth on Lago's new Honolulu scenery!
