(a) From
the components available in the F1 ATR72-500 package a full capatain + engines
+ first officer three monitor main panel was constructed (Left) and an
overview picture during flight preparation at Munich / EDDM gate 103 (Right).

(a) 'Reconstructed' Dash 7. Based on freeware from www.flightsimonline.com/Dash74/. This package is very flexible to adapt panels to your own need. Basic instruments (Left) and just prior to take-off from Lugano / LSZA RWY 19 (Right)
(a) It took some time to understand how the Justflight/Captain sim Legendary Hercules C-130 panels could be adapted, but at the end acceptable results were reached. Basic instruments in a screenshot from the panels PC (Left) and just prior to take-off from Sion / LSGS RWY 25 (Right)
(a) The adaptation of the Aerosoft / Digital Aviation Piper Cheyenne to my setup is not at all perfect but as it is now it could be realised rather easily.

(b) PMDG 747-400
It was not too difficult to compose a 3 monitor Cpt+eng+fo panel from the available components. And, after replacing the
FSpanels PC by one with a much more powereful E8500 processor, it became a joy to fly as well . . .
(b) PMDG 747-400
Take-off from old Honk Kong Kai Tak, VHHX RWY 13 (upper right) and landing on Paris Charles De Gaulle, LFPG RWY 08L (direct right)
(b) PMDG MD-11
Also the MD-11 panel was rather easily to adapt to my setup. Startup of engine 2 (left) and final approach to LSZH ILS34 (right)

(b) F1 iFly 737NG
To adapt the iFLy737NG to my setup I rearranged some instruments and designed my own background bitmap for the main instrument panel (left). Night landing at old Hong Kong Kai Tak VHHX ILS31 (right)
