March 4, 200521 yr Robert,Great work, would love to see some tutorials on your site to help us wanna be's.Are all your panels backlit, and if so, how?David

Real 777 panels? Where would one get real panels from a plane that is only 11 years old?
March 4, 200521 yr >uh hmm....>Wow. Real 777 panels? Where would one get real panels from a>plane that is only 11 years old?Most of the real modules I use are from the 757/767, or 747-400. They can still be REALLY REALLY expensive.There are sources for used 777 parts, but virtually all lead to dissapointing prices . Easily $2,000+ for every module in the aircraft (in used condition).Robert
March 12, 200521 yr At the moment, my panels aren't backlit. I will most likely be using electroluminescence to illuminate all my panels.Robert
